Was debating or not whether to write this review as it was a huge disappointment for me that I wanted to just sweep it under the rug and forget about it. I usually have several birthday celebrations meaning multiple cakes but this time it was only this one so had high hopes. First off , I was SUPER excited to try this place as read so many amazing reviews . My mom almost didn't want to go here due to the comments about it being in a sketchy area ( she was scared). She did eventually cave seeing how sad I was when she said the cake might be bought somewhere else. We ordered the sesame cake . The communication was between my mom and them so can't really comment much on this . Except , she did request them to put ' Happy Birthday Carmen' and we ( especially me ) was super upset when they forgot to do this :( Oh wells, on to the most important part- the taste , unfortunately this was also a let down . It was extremely bland and had little to no sugar - this is coming from someone that doesn't have a sweet tooth anymore and prefers dark chocolate cause milk is too sweet. The texture was also odd - we did eat the cake a day after pickup but this shouldn't have made that much of a difference based on my experience from other bakeries Presentation was not as aesthetically pleasing as I hoped for . It looked especially unattractive since it was missing the happy birthday sign. The size felt smaller than regular 6' but I think it's cause there was not much decoration on it
OMG this was absolutely amazing! I loved the strawberry shortcake in Snow Berries design. First off the cake looked soooo good - it was too cute I didn't even want to eat it. The design is great and exactly like the pictures. The cake itself was nice and light - a delicious fluffy texture. There's tonnes of fresh strawberries inside which taste delicious. The cream frosting is light too and not too sweet. Definitely a place I'd love to visit again. PS - you have to pre-order about 1-2 days in advanced! They don't have walk ins. Thank you Manzou team, your product and service is outstanding!
Located in Scarborough in an industrial area, it's located way way in the back of some buildings. It's more of a order online and pick up rather than an actual bakery with items to impulse buy. In any case, it was pretty smooth process and pick up was ready at the time agreed upon. Black sesame - has a great and bold black sesame flavor which is really enjoyed. The cake is light and fluffy, the cream on top and in between the cake layers provided nice moisture and sweetness. 5/5. Earl grey - It's not my favorite flavor but I like how they did it here. It comes in bold but not too sweet or too bitter. 5/5. Matcha - this one I think could use a slightly more bitter/green tea flavor to it but it's still good as is. 4.5/5. Price: 9 cups for 27$ is a great price for what you get. Definitely recommend!
This is my second second-time ordordering the black sesame cake. My parents really like it because it's not too sweet. The cakes are beautiful as well. One small problem I had was that I wanted the text 'Summer mood (w/ a sun emoji)' on it. Instead of a small sun emoji following the text, they literally wrote '(w/ a sun emoji)'. I thought it was obvious but I guess not lol The location is a bit hard to find, it's tuck away in the back. Plug it into Google Maps is key to finding it.
Manzou Bakery is one of the cutest bakeries around! Their cakes and cake cups are so cute and very flavourful, with just enough sweetness that doesn't overpower the palate. If you don't like overly sweet desserts, Manzou Bakery is the way to go. I strongly recommend their black sesame, as the flavour is very strong and pronounced, unlike other patisseries and bakeries. Their prices are just about average, but the aesthetic of their cakes are very cute. Note that they do not do walk-ins - you must order ahead of time. They offer assorted cake cups so you can try a little bit of each flavour instead of sticking with a single whole cake. They also don't charge extra to write a message on the cake but it is on the bottom of the cake - not on a chocolate plaque. Definitely a hidden gem! Tip: They're located in a plaza in Scarborough and the parking lot is pretty difficult to find. I've tried Manzou Bakery twice by navigating with Google Maps and I always end up in the wrong parking lot :)
Seeing as how hyped this place was on blogto and IG, I decided to get a little treat for my dad's bday! I ordered 6 cake cups to try out as many flavour as possible at one time. These are Chinese-style bakery cakes but with a modern aesthetic for the younguns. I am a little bit disappointed with this place though. These are just very average cakes. The cake itself was dry and the cream didn't do much to help as it was nothing outstanding, just cheap whipped cake cream. Some flavours were better than others; we liked the mango and caramel flavour better as it was stronger tasting. Black sesame was not our favourite. I think for the quality, quantity, and price, it's not quite worth it - especially if your average run-of-the-mill, neighbourhood Chinese bakery can offer the same but cheaper. It's located in a strip/industrial plaza in Scarborough - kinda near STC. It's located at the back of the plaza and a bit difficult to find so use your GPS! Definitely willing to give this place a redo after some improvements!
Placed an order for their cake cups for Mother's Day. I really wanted to be able to experience all their flavours, so their cake cup offering is perfect. It's so nice to bring for gatherings as it's so much more fun for people to pick their own flavour or share multiple. I didn't get to try every flavour but everyone in my family really enjoyed what they had. The cake is super light and airy, almost like a mousse at times. The flavours I did try were noticeable enough but not too artificial tasting. Best of all, they're the perfect amount of sweet! Those who have a low sweets tolerance would love this too. The size of the cake cups are also perfect. At $27 for the 9 cake cups, it's a very reasonable price point. I'd def come back to try more of their items or just get their cake cups again :) The one thing I will say is the location is a bit hard to find -- in the very back of a lowkey plaza with not much else in it.
So glad I discovered this hidden bakery in Scarborough! I wasn't sure what to flavour to order, because I didn't know what they would taste like. Luckily, they have these cake cups sets that you can order in sets of 1, 6 or 9. Being a big foodie, I obviously got 9 (you know, for research purposes). They were about the size of a cupcake each and the total came to $27, which I thought was pretty good. I loved the texture and consistencies of these. If you like cakes from chinese bakeries, you will love these. They are super light and fluffy with cream filling. The flavours were on point too. I think my favourite flavour was black sesame. I thought the red velvet was pretty good too. Normally, red velvet is pretty dense and rich. They did a good job capturing the red velvet and cream cheese flavours, while at the same time making it much lighter. The other flavours were earl grey, salted caramel, mango mousse, matcha mousse, tiramisu, chocolate, and cookies and cream. They were all honestly very good. It didn't take long to finish them. Also, the writing on the cake was super cute and neat! I don't even know how they were able to write that small. Ordering online on their website is super easy. You pay online and pick the date and time you want to pick up. No delivery option at this time. Definitely will be back to order some whole cakes, now that I know how the flavours taste like!
By far one of the BEST tasting and affordable cakes in the gta! Ive pretty much tried all their cake flavours from the cake cups and my favourite are the black sesame and chocolate! So GOOD!
This is a small family bakery located in a more industrial area in Scarborough. As others have said, it was quite difficult to find and not what you would expect a bakery to look like. That being said, the Sesame cake we ordered tasted really fresh and they didn't skimp out on the sesame! Design was pleasing and you can order online for pick up on their website.
I was in charge of picking up dessert for the family holiday dinner this year. Manzou Bakery kept popping up in my IG feed so I decided to order from there. I was too late to order a cake so I went with an order of the 9 cake cups ($27) and 6 cake cups ($20). Flavors I chose: black sesame, strawberry, mango, earl grey, matcha and chocolate. I sampled the black sesame, mango and earl grey. The black sesame was an easy favourite but the earl grey was also tasty! The bakery is located in a non-descript industrial strip mall in Scarborough so could be a bit difficult to find. There is a simple sign with the business name so really keep your eyes out! We thought the cake cups were good. I'd return for a full sized black sesame cake in the future.
Manzou Bakery is located for pickup in an industrial part of Scarborough. I ordered the Earl grey cake a week in advance for my father's 70th birthday. We ran into some traffic on our way before closing and I DMed their IG to notify them. They were very sweet and informed me that it was totally okay. The girl was nice enough to give me candles and suggest I carry the box via the bottom instead of the handles due to the weight. The cake: Earl gray was a flavour that my family enjoyed - it has an Earl gray mousse with a light sponge cake. You can definitely taste the tea in the mousse. Delicious and was a hit amongst my family. I'll be back to order a black sesame cake to try in the future. The process: Order online, select the type of cake, design and any messages you want on it. Schedule a pickup time and pay online. Easy peasy. Check their Instagram for more helpful tips and better visuals.
These cake cups are the perfect dessert for anyone who can't decide what flavour to get or if you want to try a little of everything! If you are looking for a beautiful minimalistic cakes, Manzou Bakery is a great family-owned business that will satisfy your cake craving. These cakes are soft, light and not too sweet which is the recipe for PERFECTION. Flavours in the Picture: Earl Grey - One of my favourite teas infused in a light chiffon cake and cream. I always love earl grey for the hints of orange and lemon. Matcha - Matcha was so delicious and not too sweet. The matcha flavour was strong perfectly balanced and not too overwhelming. Tiramisu - Love this flavour as it is sweet and rich with coffee flavour. The mascarpone cheese was soft and light with the vanilla chiffon cake. This is the perfect take on a classic dessert. Black Sesame - Tastes exactly like a black sesame dessert that you get at Chinese dessert places. IN LOVE Salted Caramel - This was a little bit sweet side for me but I think they replaced the flavour with strawberry mousse! Can't wait to try it Mango - The mango was so smooth and rich which was stellar mango mousse

Great concept with a tasting menu option. I wish all bakeries did something similar. Tirimasu and chocolate were a hit. The other flavours were so so. The main issue is that the cake itself was dry. It was a bunch of flavoured cream. Nothing too thrilling. read more
3.5/5 I ordered this cake for my partner's birthday through their website. The ordering process was seamless, and I actually had a change of heart and decided to change the flavour, which I contacted them on Instagram for. They say ~3 business days for a reply but they got back to me in about a day or so, which was great :) The cake we got is a strawberry shortcake. The shortcake is light and fluffy and it had a bunch of strawberries both on top and inside of the cake. read more

Family owned bakery serving asian flavour cliffon cakes. They're in a random plaza in scarborough but trust it's worth it, very easy to find parking to pick up your order. I highly recommend mango, matcha, strawberry flavour. I always order from them for special occasions, they have very simple cute designs and they sometimes come out with special flavour cakes and special designs for christmas. service is nice but nothing special in person. The bakery is only takeout! The daughter of the family is super sweet on social media and very active on their instagram account! read more

I saw this place on Instagram and a video on Facebook and was very intrigued to try it. I got the 9 cake cup set that was $27. The flavors in the picture from top left to bottom right is matcha mousse, tiramisu, black sesame, cookies and cream, chocolate, salted caramel, mango mousse, earl grey, and strawberry mousse. It is an awesome concept where it's great for those who want small desserts without the big commitment or those who want to try every flavor. Perfect for me because I love trying everything. The cake cups I got were pretty dry but all the flavors were good! I would say each one is subtle in the flavor it was trying to achieve and some were sweeter then others. This review is based solely on the 9 cake cups. The staff was very kind and caring just like the video I saw. Overall, I probably won't order the cake cups again but I will try the other items next time as the cakes looks delicious! read more

I'll keep this simple. This was quite possibly the best cake I've ever had. I will definitely be getting cake from here again! read more
In a corporate area, kind of hard to find but once you see it, it's easy to get to. Very quick to pick up as it's only a person there giving it to you behind a plexiglass. Really friendly. Cake is packaged well and is SOOo good!! Not overly sweet and just really pretty. Excited to try the other flavours. One of the best cakes I've ever tried. read more

I saw this bakery on someone's social media, the presentation drew me in! The cups are smaller than I expected, but in the end, the size is just right for 1 person or 2-3 people to sample each flavour. They offer 9 flavours, however, I decided to opt out of 1 of the flavours and doubled on another. All the flavours were done exceptionally well, especially Black Sesame and Matcha Mousse! Not many bakeries can get matcha, black sesame, or earl grey flavours right, but they really impressed me! I am definitely going back to order larger cakes for future occasions!! read more

Kind of pricey, but the cake tasted delicious. The sponge cake was infused with tea, which really highlighted the earl grey flavour, and the cream was nice and light. read more

I ordered a tiramisu cake for Mother's Day and it was delicious. Their online ordering system is super organized and easy to navigate. When I went to go pick it up, the staff were super friendly. The cake wasn't that sweet which my family and I loved about. Cake display and packaging is so cute. Only problem I had was trying to find their place, but this is actually my problem because they indicated how to locate their shop on their Instagram story highlights. Definitely recommending this place to everyone I know. read more

Purchased the chocolate cake for my birthday and it was one of the best cakes I've ever had. The chiffon was tasty and light and the cream was well balanced and not greasy at all. Everyone at dinner thought it was delicious and my grandparents even commented on how good it was again the day after we ate it. It was also beautifully decorated and so easy to place an order. Highly recommend. read more
