Not bad. Pretty decent pastries and their rice dishes aren't bad either. Would recommend. But only go during the weekdays when parking is plentiful. Friday nights and weekends are terrible. Best to take-out. They do have tables but very limited seating. read more

It is NOT PERMANENTLY CLOSED, Apple Maps. This location is OPEN in Goldbright Plaza at 7750 Kennedy Road and 14th in Markham. Best BBQ Pork & Onion Bun. Smooth milk tea served in pretty tile-patterned takeout cups. They have prepared food in a fridge, made from Kitchen at Lucullus, which you can pick up and warm up at home for a nice meal. read more

All their cakes are very fresh. The fruits are fresh (e.g. mango and strawberries) and the cake layers are very light. They are not too sweet, not even their whipped cream. They also have Chinese buns and dim sum and steamed rice. Their prices are above average. But their cakes are worth the price. There are a few tables if you want to eat in. The service is ok. They have been around approximately 20 years. read more

Lucullus Bakers & Roasters - Mango Cake - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Markham, Ontario

We always stop here to grab some Hong Kong style pastries to bring home (Michigan). Their Lao Po Bing (Wife and butter rolls/bread are my favorite. We also order egg tarts as well. I also love their HK style Lemon Honey Iced Tea (also comes hot for those who don't like cold drinks). They do take orders over the phone, so if you want to ensure you get specific baked goods, call the day before so they make more and set aside some for you to pick up. The parking lot is almost always busy and full. (Probably due to the delicious dim sum restaurant next door) Even the reserved space right in front of the bakery for its customers are usually filled! It's a battle to park but worth it. Just make a couple loops and you'll find someone leaving so you can take their spot. read more

My favourite bakery for bbq pork buns. The buns are soft and the filling is a great mix of pork and onions, and made without the red food colouring added to make it red. I haven't been able to eat bbq pork buns anywhere else since discovering it here many years ago. Also love coming here for breakfast or lunch. Their macaroni and soup with a bun and drink is a great all day option. The Hainanese chicken and rice is tasty especially with the sauces but it doesn't come with much chicken. Good drinks as well. Overall one of my fave all around bakeries! read more

I came here after the movies and decided to take a quick bite at this new Lucullus location on Enterprise. People have been raving about how nice it is, I had to go see for myself! I love how grand the finish is... with beautiful European-styled decor from floor to ceiling. The coffee bar is especially captivating. But sadly, that's about it. Price point - on the expensive side and I don't see the value. It is not like we are getting amazing food quality here. Ok, fine... I give it that we eat ambiance too, and ambiance was nice. Food quality and presentation - sub par on the sweet potato dumpling in sweet ginger soup. I give another star for the extra spicy ginger they used (I love ginger) but the dumpling was already falling apart from overcooking and had became mushy. And I'm really not impressed with the $6 rice combo. If you plan to go fancy on me, it is unacceptable to serve me a rice bowl in an aluminium foil container. This is no cafeteria. At least make an effort to make it look presentable. And the rice was dried out from steaming the whole day... awesome! Service - what service? The cashier lady didn't even crack a smile nor made us feel welcome... she gave us a blank look. Thank god we don't have to pay tips. ------------------------------------ This bakery has an amazing amount of potential because of its prime location, but just need to up its game to survive in Downtown Markham. I do believe in second chances... I will come back to try again. Let's see if Lucullus can redeem themselves then. read more

Lucullus opens at Downtown Markham is kind of exciting. A real cafe setting that one can drink Hong Kong Style Milk Tea and enjoy some Chinese baked goods including Bo Lo Bao Pineapple Bun. They even offers house roasted coffee. Meal Combo for $5 still available if you want some cheap eats. Plastic bistro style chairs already wobbling, or maybe my friend put on some weight over the holidays. A lot of potential. read more

Great place for a quick and relaxing bite. They are at the same building as the Downtown Markham Cineplex between Milestones and South St Burger facing the parking lot. This bakery brand has been around for years and quite reputable for their buns, cheesecakes, HK style milk tea and hot food combos. Just like their downtown location they have this nice Euro style decor. Very clean and relaxing. You can dine in (order and sit down) or take out. They also have warm goods like sticky rice good during those chilly days. They also have $5.00 meal combos which consists of a steam rice of your choice along with coffee or tea of your choice. See photos for menu. TIP: TAX FREE after purchasing 6 buns. TIP 2: You CANNOT access the bakery through the theatre building, entrance is outside. TIP 3: If you can't get in here, their older location is at 14th and Kennedy inside the plaza with Thai One On. TIP 4: There are two unisex bathrooms in the back. read more

My mom purchased some pastries here a few times and it's all right. This place isn't the cheapest so I do expect a certain quality here. The last time we came here, we got the pineapple bun with red bean paste. The bread part was fresh but the red bean paste tasted sour. I was pretty taken aback by this. I wouldn't expect it from a bakery store like Lucullus. The other baked goods we got was not bad like the egg tart but the pineapple bun with red bean pasta really left a "sour taste" in my mouth. I'll be thinking twice about coming here again! read more

This bakery's been here for as long as I've remembered, and I don't know why no one's reviewed this location yet. They've recently updated their decor in keeping with their also-recent opening of the Enterprise location at VIP Cineplex theatre in Spring 2016. One reason I think they're successful is because they strive to keep with the century old baking methods, and at the same time keeping their rustic/elegant interior look up-to-date, including their trays, baskets, cutlery & plates (yes I notice that!) (unlike other Chinese bakeries today) - so really bringing Chinese bakery up a notch to be enjoyed at a sophisticated level among other tea time snacks. Their drinks are up-to-par, consistent and reliable. Their service is friendly and I can see returning customers whenever I visit because they simply have trust in this bakery and its quality. Aside from baked goods, they also have an expanded menu of steamed rice and sandwiches which you can also enjoy in their small dine-in area. read more

This is my to go Hong Kong style bakery. They serve freshly steamed Chinese curry, creamy chicken a la king, Chinese ribs etc... All served with rice and drinks like iced tea, Hong Kong milk tea, green tea etc.. For $6-7. However the store also has pre-made frozen dim sum dishes like siu mai, Chau siu bao and hai gau that can be steamed at home for reasonable prices. The store also sells fresh cakes and puddings, along with drinks ranging from $2-8. To add on, the store also has a number of Chinese pastries that are delicious, however more expensive than other Chinese pastry stores. They have buns like ham and cheese, hot dog and cheese with corn for $2-3. But the store is most notorious for it's dan tat (A traditional Hong Kong pastries) also known as an egg tart, once these guys are baked, they'll be gone within seconds as they are commonly known as the best dan tat in Toronto. They are however relatively expensive going from $2-5 depending on the type of tart (cheese, egg etc..) read more

Their Napoleon cake is my absolute favourite. It's the right amount of fruit, chocolate and sugar. They used to sell individual slices pre-COVID but now they only sell them as a whole cake unfortunately. Their Coffee and Milk Tea drink (Yin Yeung) is unparalleled and the best in Toronto by far: The perfect combination and ratio of coffee, condensed milk and tea. Their Buo Luo Baos (Pineapple buns) are delicious, albeit a tad small but you get what you pay for. read more

Two words: PINEAPPLE BUNS. The first Lucullus Bakery that opened in Toronto has a similar environment to most Chinese bakeries, but after the investment of a new European styled design, they really upscaled the typical Chinese Bakery scene into an interesting fusion mix. I came here for one of the instagram events and we were able to try their chrysanthemum drinks with honey (delicious taste) and their FRESH OUT OF THE OVEN PINEAPPLE BUNS. It's definitely their signature because the crust is thin and soft and the bun melts in your mouth. Will definitely come back as a customer, when I'm around this area for movies! read more

Came here at 7PM on a Thursday evening before watching a movie, to try out their meal combos and some of their sweets. The first time we came here, they ran out of meal combos by 5PM, but luckily this time, they have several choices left for dinner. My BF got the pork ribs with black beans on steamed rice combo with lemon tea for $6. The meal was surprisingly very small, and didn't taste good. Won't get that again but it was worth a try since fellow Yelpers have ordered meal combos here. I got a ham and cheese croissant ($2.5) and a slice of mango mousse cake. I've asked the server to microwave the ham and cheese croissant as I prefer it warm. The ham and cheese croissant was good and there is a big amount of meat and cheese on it. The croissant was nice and flaky, and over-all it was delicious! Will definitely get that again! The mango mousse cake is a good big slice for only $4.25, but as far as the taste goes, it was a bit bland in my opinion. The size is big and filling, but the cake lacks flavor. The mousse wasn't as soft and light as I expected from a mango mousse cake.. I guess I have been spoiled by the quality of cakes at Bakery Nakamura. Haha. I won't get the mango mousse again, but perhaps try other cakes when I come back. They have quite a few choices. Service is nice and friendly and the place is well-kept and clean.

This is the 4th Lucullus location that I know of with the others being the original in Richmond Hill, Markham and downtown T.O. This newest location is located as part of the Cineplex Theatre but the entrance is on the outside as you can't enter from within the complex. They definitely gone upscale here with the beautiful decor, lighting table seating, jazz music playing in the background etc... However I was very pleasantly surprised the pricing seems to be the same as the other locations. Buns and pastries range from $1-$4, set prepared rice dishes with drinks for $6. Yes they are more expensive then most bakeries but at least its price the same as the other locations and is by far the cheapest option in the complex. They could have gone higher due to the clientele and location but refreshingly stayed the same. This alone gives them a bump in a star rating for me! Service is similar to other locations as its quick and abrupt so don't expect a smile on the faces of the workers:) I really do enjoy drinking my Hong Kong style milk tea here as its a really nice environment instead of a cramped Asian bakery! Feel like I'm in an upscale cafe without paying an upscale price! read more

A Chinese bakery with a premium feel. Never thought I would say that. Pros: Great atmosphere Lots of items to choose from Cons: Items not restocked as quick If you're used to the standard Chinese bakery, you know the word premium is usually not associated with them. Lucullus looks to change that with this new outlet in downtown Markham. The place has a really good feel to it. It's feels like a old school train station to me. We came by on a Saturday morning for breakfast. As soon as you walk in, it's unlike any Chinese bakery you've ever been to. The front is where the seats are and the back is where all the goods are. They have a vast selection of items too choose from. They are not restocked as fast though when they are out. The egg tarts were all gone when we got there and after 30 minutes, there still weren't any to buy. The same could be said about a lot of other items which were all sold at the time. We ordered a couple of buns and two steamed rice combos. Each combo comes with a drink for $6. The steamed rices were decent. The chicken and mushroom one had about 3 slivers of mushrooms which was a little disappointing. The salty egg and Chinese sausage was much better. My little one loved the cheese bun. For some reason, I was expecting real cheese instead of processed. A little weird on my part because I know it's always been processed but the premium feel of this place made me feel otherwise. Lucullus looks to change the Chinese bakery game. If they can work on their restock times it will definitely be a fav of mine in the future. read more

Came here on Sunday for a lunch. They increased the price! The Steamed rice combos used to be $5 each with a hot tea/milk tea, but now its $6. Also costed me an extra $0.75 because I wanted the VITA carton soya milk instead. That is a rip off I would say - I would understand if they charged $0.25 or $0.50 more maybe? But charging close to a dollar extra when the prices of your rice meals have already been increased? You can buy a pack of 6 for $4 at the supermarket. The rice combos were ok. I ordered the white cream sauce with chicken and mushroom. The cream sauce was ok, but I didn't like how the mushrooms were the canned mushrooms kind - but I didn't really expect much out of it anyways. Quite a few pieces of chicken meat so that was good, but in terms of portion it was a lot of rice. My boyfriend had the black bean spareribs rice combo, classic. There wasn't much black beans though. You would hope maybe they could give a piece of chicken feet (like the other locations do), or a piece of veggie to go with just plain spareribs and rice. Don't forget to add soya sauce, that is key! We also ordered some dim sum on the side. $5.50 for 4 pieces of Siu Mai? Pretty darn expensive I would say compared to even ordering dim sum at a restaurant. The Siu Mai tasted good, a lot of pork meat mixed with shrimp and mushrooms. We also had a spring roll, and deep fried taro dumplings. These two items were both really good in terms of taste and quality of ingredients - I would have preferred the taro dumplings hot though. The egg tarts were ok, I found them slightly too sweet. Loved the shape. Would have enjoyed them more if they were hot and straight out of the oven. I must say the deco of this bakery is really nice. The atmosphere makes it seem like a luxurious bakery, which I suppose definitely explains the steep prices compared to its other franchises. read more

Great ambiance! French bistro-looking decor doesn't seem to go well with the HK style bakery food style though. I was expecting more pastries than chinese dimsum & buns before I walked in. Their HK style food is still good,lineup was a bit confusing but it cleared up fast. Might consider trying their specialty coffee next time. The high ceiling makes this place very comfortable & bright,however the seating area was not comfortable at all. If you're looking to just grab & go,then this place isn't a bad choice. Downside is, this place is not connected to the inside of the building,only accessible from the outside,so if you parked underground,you'd have to exit the building facing the South side and walk West to get here,right next to South St.Burger. read more

Lucullus Bakers & Roasters - Spareribs Steamed Rice,Steamed Minced Meat with Chinese Mushroom, Lapcheong & Boiled Egg Bao. Milk tea is alright. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Markham, Ontario

Came here during lunch since I work around the area. It's in the new area where the VIP cinemas are. Upon entering it is very nicely set up like a Cafe. Tables and chairs on one side, the bakery items at the back, ordering on the right hand side. The lunch specials are not posted on the wall, it is on a piece of paper where the cashier is. For 6 dollars can get a small box of steamed rice with choice of protein. And a choice of drink. I got the black bean spare ribs with lemon tea. The box of rice comes in a little tinfoil square box. You put your own soya sauce. The box of rice is small for the price. It's slightly bigger than the rice you get from dim sum. The service was not that good. The two people taking orders were not very pleasant. An older gentleman went to pick up his food and asked for a cup of hot water. But the two ladies replied "you have to pay for it". So he asked how much, and she replied $0.75. So the gentleman declined. It's not like he didn't purchase anything to eat, he just wanted hot water with his meal. We went at 12:00 and a lot of the rice boxes were not ready yet. They also had clam chowder, which was 5.95. A little on the expensive side. The rice was mediocre. The rice was luke warm, there were about 6 pieces of spare ribs on top. Hmm... Wouldn't come back since there's so many other selections in the area. Might come back to try their pastries It's a nice sit down spot to have a chat, as it's not very noisy or crammed. read more

Great bakery, with a deep heritage of Hong Kong style patisserie! This new location is spectacular, European feels, with adequate seating; though the lack of wifi is a bit of a downer.

This review is more 3.5 stars. On my way home from a haircut I stopped in for a bite to eat at Lucullus Bakers & Roasters. I was impressed upon stepping into the space, which is bright & airy with a beautiful coffee bar, decorative metal ceiling tiles, instrumental piano tunes playing, and ample seating (in contrast with many other Asian bakeries which tend to encourage takeout over staying in). I ordered a tuna fish bun and milk tea. This came to $3.35. The bun was fresh tasting. The milk tea is pretty standard as far as Hong King style milk tea goes. There are plenty of traditional Chinese buns to choose from, as well as bread and cakes. Today they had seafood chowder on offering for $5.95, which comes with a dinner roll. They also offer some other steamed buns and had shrimp Sui Mai available and made to order (apparently takes 15 min). If you're looking for a spacious relaxed place to enjoy some traditional Chinese bakery items, this is a place to try. (8/100) read more

Ordered a mango mousse cake for my mom's birthday. I ordered the smallest one they had and it was still massive! Could've easily fed 10-12 people. Great value for $32! When they first presented me with the cake, I was a little bit hesitant because the mango didn't look ripe at all. To my surprise, it tastes great. The cake was not overly sweet and the mousse was perfect with tons of mango flavour. The fresh mango on top tasted great as well! The cream was not too heavy either. The design of the cake looked a bit messy though. To end, food and service were good. read more

Lucullus is a bakery that's been around for a long time in Markham area at 14th and Kennedy. Their latest store is located at downtown Markham in the VIP Cineplex plaza just beside South Street Burger. It can only be accessible from the outside. The decoration is beautiful and looks high end with a few tables and chairs for customers to sit down and eat. They have a huge area for customers to choose their bakery goods and also offer the $5 meal combo that comes with a rice and a drink. I went here at around 430pm with a few friends and I got an egg tart and an iced milk tea. I have to say, I was very disappointed with the egg tart, I think it would be much better if it was hot, their ice tea on the other hand was decent. But egg tart with an iced milk tea for $4 is a little expensive for my liking. read more

Love there milk tea and pineapple buns. My mom love their chestnut cakes. They sell 珍珠雞 and they are huge!

Seriously, this place is perfect walking in. There is so much character and it would normally be indicative of a cafe that serves awesome food and drinks. Well....the food wasnt too bad...but the drinks were FOOD: Red bean bao- doughey but not chewy, sweet red bean inside. I would have liked a little bit more texture in the dough. Egg custard pastry- It fell apart when we lifted it. Custard tasted ok though. Its indentical to a normal circle egg custard tart, judt rectangular. Beef curry pastry- This one, I liked. It had a soft spice, good curry flavour and was flaky goodness. Coconut bear claw- Soft, buttery, awesome coconut pieces. Also pretty large. DRINKS: Honeysuckle lemon/honey tea- unbearebly sweet. Ot is actually so disgustingly sweet that it gave me a headache just sipping on it. I dont know if it is usually served this way, but I think people need the option of sweetening it themselves. Latte: It tasted okay, but it was definitely not a latte. She just steamed a cup of milk and sortnof dumped it in. If you are planning on having coffee on your menu, do it right! I will be reviewing their coffee on thecoffeeguys.ca soon!! SUMMARY: Their food is okay. The drinks are pretty bad. Their service was terrible. It was rushed and completely non-personable. These people do not have the aptitude to run a customer service based business. Lastly, there is a debit transaction fee of$0.25. If you are going to offer a debit machine, why not pay for it as a business lile everyone else? It was promising based on looks, but what this shop boils down to is nothing special. read more

The interior design and decor of this chinese bakery is the best I have seen in Markham. Definitely makes it a more comfortable environment for afternoon tea to chat with friends or for some quiet reading. Very spacious inside. They offer the usual chinese buns you would find at any other asian bakery, as well as cakes, dim sum dishes, and beverages. Their buns seem to be a bit more expensive than most bakeries, especially for the quality they offer. Their buns are quite average, nothing special. Same goes with their HK milk tea. Similar to other chinese bakeries, you don't have to pay taxes if you purchase more than 5 buns. read more

Food 3 stars. Interior décor and ambiance +0.5 star. Overall 3.5 stars. This Lucullus looks really nice inside. The high ceiling, the cast iron, the colour, accessories all give an European vibe. The food quality was not bad. The quality didn't wow or disappoint me. The selection is good, even for lunches. The lunch meal deals ($6) are small portioned, but come with a hot beverage, so the value is acceptable. Alternatively, one can choose one of the dim sum, such as Chicken and Rice in Lotus Leaf, Chinese sausages roll ($3), etc.. I made a lunch out of two dim sum, and I was quite full. I would return for a small dim sum lunch if the craving hits me. read more

Came here to try their 'tong sui' which consisted of a Sweet ginger soup base, sweet yam and sweet yam mochis/dumplings. The soup base was pretty good. I love ginger type desserts and this was pretty spicy for a dessert. What I didn't like was the amount of sweet yam that was in this. It was too much and just started to get really heavy as you continued having it. Based on that dessert alone, I wasn't very impressed. I have had their baked goods before and those are decent. The place is also nice and cozy. I'll be coming back eventually, just not for that dessert I had. read more

I love this bakery!! Their prices aren't as cheap as some of the other places for their buns, but that's because their buns are pretty good quality. Last time i went the pineapple buns just came out of the oven and i bought one and ate it there with the americano... perfect match! the bun was so delicious - the pineapple crust was crispy and the inside of the bread was warm and soft. OMG it was delicious. I ordered their cake before as well and it was pretty delicious!! even though it was last minute, the cake was not too sweet, and they usually have diferent types available depending on what size and flavours you're looking for. Anyway would like to get their buns and their coffee (americano) is decent. read more

I have been here a couple times now. Once, shortly after it had just opened for the day so just me in the store and another occasion after a movie had let out a bunch of people. Both times, I had great service. Ambiance and decor is definitely attractive for a chinese bakery but most important is the quality. I find the Chinese breads to be one of the better ones I've tasted in town. The pineapple buns can be ordered with a whole piece of butter or half butter (perfect portion, I think!). The HK style milk tea was steaming hot and I really liked the brown sugar option because not many Asian places offer it. I also tried their steamed rice - curry chicken - very good and filling! It doesn't look it but it was. I am very glad to have this in downtown Markham. Though the parking can be a pain but I can't really fault the bakery for this. read more

Enter the HK Tims. Come here if you want HK style buns and milk tea. The price per bun is higher than other HK bakeries but the quality is far superior. Standout items include the baked casseroles, absolutely the best bang for your buck at $6.75; not only do you get a hot baked rice dish but it also comes with a drink of your choice. Don't be fooled by the low price, the casserole is dynamite and rivals many higher priced casseroles of many HK restaurants *ahem blue ocean cafe*. Another favourite which can do no wrong is the mango mochi. Always just the right amount of soft and gooey mochi on the outside and heavenly mango flavoured custard on the inside; it garners extra points for being unique to the usual HK bakery selections. read more

A tad better than your average Chinese bakery, but also a bit more expensive. Less than a 5 minute drive from Pacific Mall. First of all, I'm not the HUGEST fan of Chinese bakeries. I find them all pretty mediocre and since they're soo abundant, and sold at places like T&T, I don't find them 'special'. I prefer European bakeries or even Taiwanese. Anyway, I thought this place was alright. Prices are slightly higher than your average Chinese bakery. The actual buns taste lighter and are primarily sweet, despite their filling. I tried the Grandma Cake (dunno what it's called in English) and that was fresh, flaky, but a bit lardy. Curry Beef was alright, not super flavourful. And the Corned Beef one was, I think, mixed with butter which wasn't to my liking. Again, actual bun part tasted good. HK Milk Tea was quite strong, but not as nicely flavoured as other places. Parking: Despite the size of the lot which appears to be reasonable for the size of the plaza, it was quite difficult to find a spot! I'd definitely go back to try their sweeter buns, custard tarts, cakes, and perhaps meals! read more

I have to admit I had high expectations of Lucullus after seeing and reading so many good things about it online but, besides the stunning decor and set-up, their flavours didn't hit the spot. The prices, while not a huge difference, also felt a bit more expensive than other Chinese bakeries. This location is perfect and should get a lot of traffic - conveniently placed in the same bulding complex as the Markham cineplex, after seeing an afternoon movie, my brother and I went to Lucullus for a snack. We got a sweet donut ($1.35), a butter omega-3 egg tart ($1.35), a BLB or bo lo bao - a crunchy cookie crust on top of a soft bun ($1.35), and a chicken in cream sauce bun ($1.55). They all tasted pretty average or even less - the egg tart sadly didn't have much flavour and the buns didn't taste that fresh. I'd go and give it another shot if I'm in the area to try other items and/or have coffee. Pros include its location and decor but I wouldn't go out of my way for the food. read more

I normally have no issues going to Lucullus, but had a horrible encounter with the young (glasses wearing) woman working behind the counter today (October 18, 2021) at the Enterprise location. She was rude to every customer that morning. She brought out a sandwich to a customer who was seated and she yells very rudely, "Here!" Who does that? When I went to order, I accidentally said "regular" instead of "medium" and she got very rude about it and yelled, "small, medium or large? Regular means large!" Like, okay...no need to be rude about it. After paying and getting my order, I thanked her and left. read more
