    Got to try a full cake this time and it was so delicious! The flavoured cream and the two filling layers went really well together. One of the layers has red beans and the second has crunchy bits. The matcha sponge was light and not too heavy. I probably could have eaten the whole thing in one sitting!!

    Have always heard great things about this place and especially their cakes. Visited one day, and decided it would be a good option for a birthday cake! Ordered it online and was a very smooth process. I ordered the chestnut earl grey cake and it was the most delicious combination I've had! The balance between the two flavors are really good, as nothing truly overpowers the other. The price is reasonable and it is pretty standard compared to other specialty bakeries. I will definitely be back to try other cake flavors when there is another birthday to be celebrated!

    Matcha Choux
    Janice L.

    I would say that these are as sweet as they look. I think the best flavours are the matcha and chestnut. Some of the flavours taste a bit different than what I imagine but that's because it's a little different from Chinese bakery flavours. The chestnut choux is more earthy compared to the chestnut cake at Chinese bakeries. Great service and they have cute like toys you can buy in the shop

    Cake and choux pastry display

    I love the texture of their choux pastries: light and airy with a bit of crisp.. like a cream puff but in an easier-to-eat shape of an eclair. You can get any amount but they have boxes for 1, 3 and 6 pastries. We found some flavors more difficult to distinguish between. Like chestnut and Jasmine were both lighter flavors (delicious nonetheless). Looking forward to trying more flavors and their cake! They sell whole cakes but it needs to be ordered a day in advance. The staff was so helpful in explaining everything and giving her recommendations.

    Seems to have Japanese theme but FYI it is chinese operated and the items didn't seem to be very japanese. I expected they were just doing that to jack up the prices, but the prices actually were reasonable... just over $4 each, and no tax for a purchase of 6 We tried the cream puffs (not sure about the name, but they look like eclairs). Plenty of parking

    Strawberry latte
    Michelle K.

    Stumbled upon this place while dropping by the area to do some grocery shopping. We came at a Sunday around 4pm and they still had lots of options available. All of the flavours looked soo good, but we went with the matcha choux and the kinako mochi. We also ordered a strawberry latte. The interior of the bakery is super cute with cat motifs throughout. The latte was delicious and tasted very refreshing. It had chunks of strawberries at the bottom covered with a strawberry jam. The matcha choux was absolutely delightful with the perfect creamy matcha taste. The kinako mochi was the same and I loved the actual mochi pieces on top. At 4 dollars each, it was a bit expensive, but definitely worth it. We will for sure be back to try the other flavours. The cakes also looked really good and not too bad at about 48 dollars for a 6 inch.

    Surprisingly satisfied - as I am always suspicious when bakeries/patisseries advertise themselves as "Japanese inspired" for profits. I have found that many of those places are totally fake-branded. But Kanae cafe is different, NOT one of those places. What I liked about Kanae Cafe was it's focus and simplicity. It does not waste their energy to be overly-flashy. I felt that they are making genuine efforts in how to entertain customers with their unique cookie choux with a variety of "Japanese inspired" flavors. We ordered: Cream Choux (cookie choux) #1. Kinako Mochi: It has distinct Kinako flavor with perfectly chewy little mochi with crispy/eggy cookie choux. Nice combination. I liked it. #2. Chestnut: straight forward with distinct, pure chestnut flavor. #3. Mini Bucket: A bite size, cute. Want to take a box to a home party! Cakes: #1. Chestnut Earl Grey Chiffon: A bit too much cream, but the quality of the cream is good. Chiffon's texture is good. Wished to have more earl grey flavor but OK. #2. Yuzu Cheese Cloud: LOVED this. Light, airy, melt-in-your-mouth Bavarian cream with appropriate cream cheese profile and citrus flavor. It could have more Yuzu flavor over lemon's and my partner wanted the lemon piece to be smaller. But refreshing. Nice texture. I like the cakes. They do not look gorgeous but down-to-earth, no pretentious, with nostalgically homeliness looking with good taste. The combination of flavor is delicately thought-out. These days, I am kind of sick of many "Japanese inspired" bakeries/patisseries which are totally missing the point - these places are just putting too much efforts in "looking like Japanese" but no delicacy on the palate. Kanae Cafe is simple and focused - they know what they are doing. Unique. No frills. Leaving true simplicity with authentic, no-show off but authentic efforts. Price is reasonable. I am very pleased to find here!!!!

    Nama Choco Oreo
    Lash K.

    Was looking to get Asian cake flavours for my brother's birthday and stumbled upon this place! Price $4-$60 Items ordered: Cakes - Nama Choco Oreo - Yuzu Cheese Cloud Cream Chouxs - Kyoho Grape - Lychee - Pistachio Rasberry - Ube Cheesecake - Mango - Uji Matcha Food Quality (Menu, Taste, Portion size) - 5/5 Great variety of cakes. They have a lot of cream chouxs to try and it's a great treat. A good combination of flaky, soft and filling. They're really tasty and my favourites were the Grape, Ube and Pistachio. My dad LOVED the Yuzu cake that he said it's his favourite cake ever. The Nama chocolate cake melted in your mouth. The portion size for everything was great. Atmosphere - N/A Take out place but had a cute small bakery vibe Service - 5/5 The staff was very nice and helpful. They were great at recommending which cream chouxs to get. They made the process of picking up a pre-order seamless Will I go again? Of course!!! Will probably be where I go to get cakes for friends and need to try more of the cream chouxs! Lash's Recommendations - Everything (not joking)

    Got the try the cake from Kanae Cafe . This was Grape flavored cake. Very light and not very sweet. Great for dessert after dinner with a coffee/tea. The cafe is by the new plaza on Mcnicoll and Midland Ave. They sell other smaller treats too. Service was good, helpful staff to explain some of the goodies .

    Cute little store
    Yan W.

    I'd give it a 3.5 if possible. Environment: It was a small area but it was used nicely with lots of cute cat related decorations and other adorable things for sale. Of course, there's a lot of cakes and choux, too. I think it was the owner but she was very nice, welcoming, and told me about the details and deals they had. I was not very interested in the choux but the sponge cakes did! I ordered their sesame in black for $7.85. I think the prices was reasonable as slices of cake in my hometown can cost even more but I had to remind myself that tax was not included yet. It was a beautiful slice but the part with the most black sesame flavor was the top roasted black little paste, right under the orange colored mochi. The cake was light, great texture but I wish it had more black sesame flavor. It was a bit too subtle for me.

    Box of 3 choux - hazelnut crunch, kinako mochi, chestnut
    Fontaine M.

    We have driven by Kanae many times when we go to Daimaru Sukiyaki. We even went in once to take a look but honestly felt it was quite expensive for us (and we weren't hungry after AYCE lol) I did end up ordering them through Uber Eats as I had a coupon so I figured I'd give it a try. We ordered the 3 pieces of cake with the 3 pieces of Choux. For cake, we chose the chestnut earl grey, the yuzu and the ube taro. For the choux, we chose the chestnut, the Kinako Mochi and the hazelnut crunch. Cake wise, they are all done beautifully. The texture is a balance of jelly and cake. Our favourite was the yuzu. It is quite strong and sour (especially the top layer) but we thought it was super well balanced and well done. Not overly sweet. The taro ube was decent in its flavour and texture. The chestnut had a good cake but being fans of Chinese style cream chestnut cakes this one didn't hit the spot for us. We were more blown away by the Choux. Very delicate and artistic and delicious. The Choux itself even after having it delivered was crispy and fresh. Our favourite was the hazelnut crunch. The texture was incredible with the crispy outer part and the chewy inner balanced with the crunchy top. The kinako had the Mochi on top and the chestnut a paste. Those 2 were still delicious but didn't stand out as much as the hazelnut crunch. Similar to most other reviews, because this place is soooo expensive, we probably don't plan to visit or patronize more than once or twice a year. Good product, not saying not worth it necessarily but in todays economy, very difficult to justify.

    Kyoho Grape Gelée cake
    Chris Y.

    Found this cute little bakery when going to Daimaru Hotpot. I decided to try this place as the website showed an amazing variety of cakes and cream choux. Got a variety of cream choux to go along with the cake and they tasted amazing no complaints. The Kyoho grape cake I ordered came out so nicely and tasted so good. The cake wasn't overly sweet and the grape inside the cake was so good. After this my family ended up always ordering a cake from this spot so far we've tried the Kyoho grape cake, Yuzu Cheese Cloud cake, and Sesame in Black cake. The black sesame cake was by far the best as it came topped with black sesame candy and delicious mochi on top of it. Definitely recommend this spot for getting your cake craving fix. Forgot to take photos of the other cakes but the pictures on their cute website are a perfect match.

    As soon as I walked into Kanae, my sense of smell was heightened with the wonderful smell of a bakery. There was a small line even though the weather was snowy. After a short wait, I was greeted with a friendly face. I opted to order 13 of their cream choux. They didn't have all the flavours there (went around 4:30 p.m. on Chinese New Year) so we got one of whatever was there and had to double up on two flavors. The choux was crispy yet light and airy. I loved the Asian flavours as it is not as sweet as some other eclairs. I personally tried the Ube cheesecake and the mochi one. Both were nice however I enjoyed the mochi one better. My husband had the raspberry & the Kyoho Grape. He is usually a raspberry kind of guy but he said that the grape was even better. At $4 per or 6 for $22 ($3.67), it is quite expensive as they are quite small however since it is so delicious, I would buy these as a treat occasionally.

Their designs are abundant on the website and they really get the design to a tee, it was PERFECT. Flavour selection is pretty good and I did have a short call with them while ordering on their site to determine which flavour was recommended as well as what colours I wanted the cake design to emphasize. I had to check Google reviews to confirm instructions on their location, but when I got to the Langham Square plaza it was easy enough to find based on their address (unit number 2006). Staff gave clear instructions at pick up to keep the cake in the floor of the car during transport and to store the cake in a fridge until ready to eat. The box for transport was great because I got to check the design easily before leaving and the ribbon was tightly wrapped to secure the box cover to the base. The staff speak Mandarin as well as English. Payment was all done online beforehand. Highly recommend ordering their cakes for any event!

The curry bun could use more filling, but the pastry itself was flaky and flavorful. The cheese chicken bun was huge and super satisfying. We got it fresh so the outside was crisp and the cheese stayed gooey. We also grabbed their famous egg tarts.

Tucked inside Markham 朗豪坊, X Cafe is a takeout-only spot that keeps things simple but does them right. They have a solid selection of ready-made small cakes for quick pickups, and you can also pre-order custom cakes in your preferred flavors and sizes. Prices are very reasonable, especially given how fresh everything tastes. It's nothing over-the-top or flashy just genuinely satisfying when you're craving dessert. What impressed me most was how well-balanced the flavors were. Nothing overly sweet or heavy. I usually prefer sponge cakes over mousse, and theirs really delivered soft, airy, and perfectly moist with just the right hint of sweetness.

Mango Red Rice Bento - A decent sized cake probably for 2 people. I'd say its a 6 in x 6 in cake. The sponge layers were moist and cream layers light. Mango and Red Rice combo was interesting, but felt a bit unbalanced. Red rice gave good texture but contributed little to flavour, hence the flavour from the cake was one dimensional. Nice to try. Salted Caramel, Mochi and Walnut Bento - The many different ingredients contributed to the complexity of the cake. There was the texture from the mochi and walnut, flavours from salted caramel and nuts. Would get again. Also got to try a slice of their millie crepe. Crepes were sweet and soft but again not too complex, would not get again. But also I don't value mille crepe cakes. Would come back for the bentos, its a nice to share would 2-4 people!

    Tip: Bun Appetit is around the corner from Kinton Ramen in Commerce Gate plaza…read more A recent Yelp tasting event introduced me to Bun Appetit and its baked goods. I bought a couple of buns as a customer since then and I'm hooked! Bun Appetit is located at Commerce Gate. It's located closer to Highway 7. It's around the corner from Kinton Ramen, which I have been to a handful of times during the pandemic to pick up good eats. I found a parking spot steps away from Bun Appetit on a Wednesday evening at around 6:15 pm and backed in to it. It's easier to find parking when it's a weekday, in the afternoon. Bun Appetit's breads are naturally fermented for 168 hours. I liked that all buns and breads are gut-friendly and low on the glycemic index. I'm always interested in lower sugar options. I have sampled these items: - Baguette - Whole wheat walnut vegan bun - Lychee bun - Raisin earl grey bun - Oreo chocolate delight bun - Matcha pistachio pretzel - Whole wheat German pretzel - Yeast loaf with Nutella They were all delicious. They were soft and airy. My favourites were the whole wheat walnut vegan bun and the Oreo chocolate delight bun (also known as the messy hands bun). The former had whole walnuts that were so crunchy and fresh. The bread was chewy and soft. The messy hands bun used dark chocolate. It was also fluffy and soft. It lived up to its name. I had messy fingers just eating a morsel! It has 9 g of sugar, which is practically nothing being fermented. I liked how unique the flavours were. I loved the smell of the lychee bun. I wish it had lychee pieces in it. Instead, it was wine-infused and that flavour overpowered everything. I loved the yeast loaf with Nutella as a dessert option. I nearly picked up a loaf after this event was over! As a parting snack, I got the truffle mushroom one. It was the last one. I love mushrooms. It was super delicious with truffle oil, enoki mushrooms, spinach, garlic, and melted cheeses on top. The bun was soft and perfect. It was such a gourmet bun. I have since returned to get more buns: - Strawberry beetroot - Chocolate arancia The strawberry beetroot bun was fluffy. I decided to cut it in half. To my surprise and joy, it had whole strawberries in it. Wow and yay! I love fruit, but I wasn't expecting so much of it in this bun. I loved it. It was naturally sweet from the strawberries. The beetroot wasn't noticeable in flavour. I feel it added colour to the triangular bun more than anything. The chocolate arancia was equally as unique slicing it in half. This bun had candied orange bits in it. It tasted so good with the chocolate morsels on top and the subtle chocolate flavour in the bun itself. It was delicious. I need to return for more. I have found the buns of my dreams, which sounds odd and funny. It's all true! I paid with a credit card. You can register your phone number to collect points towards goodies. I'll be back. (185)
