Counter service, in and out type of place. Displayed in standard bakery style cases are your HK bakery staples, some breads, and Western style baked goods. Place is big enough to fit a comfortable 6-7 people. No muss no fuss. Cash only & nothing to fault service on. They do package in brown paper bags only so i'd recommend bringing an old cake box or the like if you're planning to scoop up more than a few items as the bags do get oily from the butter/oils from the baked goods. Free parking on Hastings and some side streets. Food wise- only tried their pineapple bun & egg tart. It's $1 each, no tax. Both tastes fine. No major faults. Hope the pricing remains the same. I did wish that overwhelming baked goods smell would be present but maybe I didn't come early enough.

My husband texted me to pick up some cakes, so I chose the coffee cake and Black Forest cake. After breakfast I was excited to try the coffee cake. When I dug in with my fork, the cake was hard. It tasted at least 2 or 3 days old. It's so gross that the bakery would sell old cake, I feel ripped off.

Decisions, decisions, decisions…read more I've been coming here more often than I really need to but not really because I want to. It's more a need to. The seniors like it. Especially the Old Bean, and it's proximal. Why does he like it so much? Breakfast. Scratching your head? I'm not, because I live in his reality. This is a bakery for cakes, pasties, and other HK style sweet snacks. Even the so-called savory items in here are slightly sweet, the wiener buns are an example. As the Old Bean is wont to do, this is what he consumes for breakfast. Pastries and cake, not congee. Although he'll go out for congee, but at home, it's cake. Chestnut cake, at 9:30AM, along with robusta bean pre ground coffee, aka MJB, out of a jumbo-sized tin or plastic tub, from a percolator, after a rolling boil of 20 minutes. Basically, a combination of bitter melon and sulfuric acid is the end product, generously seasoned with 6 heaping teaspoons of sugar, and a bit of milk is the way he likes it. This is not hyperbole. It's a gruesome brew in the morning, enough to kill the appetite and palate of a starving alligator or any reptillian in the Florida everglades. So this is why I'm here. It's my living certainty. I do eat stuff from here every now and then but not on any regular basis. I order B-Day cakes from here for occasions also. It's what the seniors are accustomed to. Helpful staff. Paid street parking in front and a couple of free spaces in the back. Grab and go place. Minimal interior seating. Cash or debit only.

It looks like they also have cheap coffee and tea, but cheap in quality, not just price. Cash only. There are some tables inside or some picnic tables on the nearby closed street. The place looks a little dated and dim. I got a vegetarian steamed bun and a fruit cocktail cake. The steamed bun, kept nice and warm, was soft and the veggies inside were savoury and crunchy. I'd recommend this. It was my first time trying a Chinese fruit cocktail cake - I always would see them at Chinese bakeries and be tempted - so I have no basis for comparison on other fruit cocktail cakes, but I enjoyed the flavour. The cake was light with lots of fruit in the filling. It seemed a bit sweeter than the Asian cakes I'm used to. The sweeter cake and frosting in combination with the fruit cocktail, which is itself sweetened, made this a sweeter dessert than I would've liked. I'd be open to trying them again if it was in my neighbourhood, but it wouldn't be my first choice for Chinese desserts just based off this one cake.

There's a many Pine House Bakeries around BC but this is the one I've been searching for. We went…read moreto another Pine House Bakery but in Vancouver to look for the Chinese Cookies, also known as Phoenix Cookie or 鸡仔饼, but didn't have the taste I was looking for. I guess there might be different owners and chefs for each of these bakeries. There's different style and ways folks make the 鸡仔饼 but this specific location makes it super well vs others. The flavor is different, and I use this one to compare to others. They also have other pastries and goods like a pineapple bbq pork bun, pineapple custard bun, cakes, etc. This location is located inside Parker Place, and with lots of other small shops and restaurants. Lots of parking too.

*THIS REVIEW IS SOLEY FOR THEIR CHINESE COOKIES*…read more I only come here for one thing and one thing only: Chinese cookies. They reign supreme! I never had this type of cookie ever in my entire life. One of my sisters in law introduced it to me about maybe 13-14 years ago and we haven't stopped coming here ever since. It's a must try! I don't know what's in this magical cookie, but it's sweet and savory with hits of umami. It's definitely giving lap cheong essence and we're here for it. Yum! Wish I had some rn as I type up this review. Whoever reads this please go get some and enjoy it for me! *cries in seattle*

Last December, I was lucky enough to win a prize package from Kam Do Bakery from a contest they…read moreheld on social media. I received with a box of assorted pastries, a box of wife cakes, and $30 in gift cards. This is my honest review of my visit and I wasn't required to post a review. When I came into the store, the staff were confused about what I was trying to pick up at first, but it was quickly resolved when the manager came to the front counter and I explained to her that I was one of the contest winners. The queue was short because not many customers was inside at the time so I was in and out pretty quickly. The store area was spacious and there were quite a lot of pastries on display. The pastries i received were beautifully boxed. They could definitely be presented as gifts to loved ones or work colleagues. The box was gold and red, with a golden foiled design on the lid and a gold string ribbon to keep the lid closed. The pastries themselves were gorgeous. Just looking at them made my mouth water. They were soft and crumbly to the touch. The buns of the pastry were buttery and the outer layer was very flaky with every bite. Some of the pastry buns had sesame seeds sprinkled on the top. They were all baked perfectly. The inside fillings were quite sweet but no overly sweet. There was no indication on the box on what kind of pastries they were so im not totally sure what kind of pastries i received. Some had a sweet tasting filling with an egg yolk or a century egg center, just red bean paste, or just some other type of sweet filling. I shared the pastries with my family over afternoon green tea and they were a hit! My family loved them. The wife cakes I received were very soft, tasted delicious, and sweet but not as sweet as the assorted pastries. They were filled with winter melon filling, i believe. They were also made a great pairing when they were served with tea. They were all individually wrapped with plastic wrap which helped keep them fresh. The boxed was also nicely designed with gold and red colors. My family really liked them. Overall, i think Kam Do bakery is one of the best Chinese bakeries in Richmond. Gotta give them 5 stars for their absolutely delicious pastries.

Pineapple Bun: I really wanted to get the Bo Lo Yo, but apparently, this location of Kam Do doesn't offer it, so I settled for a regular Pineapple Bun. Not doing this with butter is such a shame though because for a not super fresh pineapple bun, THIS WAS INCREDIBLE. Fluffy and not dry at all in the center. Thick cookie crust was the perfect level of sweet. If this was fresh, I think I would have died on the spot.

I don't really care about the small nuances in taste, texture, etc, etc... I'm basically in and out. I get what I want and I leave. First impressions. Family run and it's basic. No frills, Canto style. Duct tape on the air-con blower that was some beat up non descript unit. Canola oil all over the place. Depending on what you're looking for, these guys win on price, but maybe not in terms of what I mention above - taste, texture, etc, etc. I ended up getting a bunch of stuff. Pineapple buns, wiener buns, and a small baked tapioca pudding. The wiener bun was very "average", meaning nothing special and nothing great, That said, it was less than $2 each. The baked tapioca pudding 6", $6.50. I knew what I was getting into, the moment I walked in. It's a bit of a hole in the wall. It's not pretty, atmosphere wise, in any sense of the word. All of their products are not in the display case, so you may need to ask for it. Auntie was reasonably friendly to me. Cash only. Parking available on side street. 揮春 plastered all over the place.
