    Fruit cake
    Regina V.

    Maxims bakery has the best fruit and mango cake in the city! It's so good I can eat a whole cake by myself. The bigggesg cake is gigantic I don't know how they make it. It's not too sweet and the fruits are always so fresh. Can't wait for someone's bday so I can eat it again!

    Wife Pastry

    This is more of a 2.5 stars for food plus a 0.5 star for price. Strictly per Yelp's description, the food is "Meh. I've experienced better.", noticeably below Kam Do and St. Germain food wise. But price wise, they are solidly lower than either of those places. If your pocket book is limited, this is a worthy place to go. Of the items I tried: Red bean pastries were the best. A thick dollop of red bean fill the middle. The pastry layers are only "ok". There are discernable layers but taste flat nonetheless. Wife pastries 老婆餅 are solid too. The fillings are thick and tasty with bits of the wintermelon chunks. Thumbs up. Century Egg pastry was the biggest failure at a zero star level. A tiny chunk of century egg surrounded by unrecognizable interior, should be lotus seed paste but tasted more like doughy nothingness. Do not buy this one. I suspect the bun items are pretty good though I didn't have any. The Maxim brand is well known in Hong Kong. I think this is an actual branch based on the logo. Worthy of a revisit.

    We stopped at this bakery by accident since we parked the car in front. I was very skeptical about the place just because I've never been to and the not very good experience in the past with some Chinese bakeries. When I stepped inside of the store, I was actually impressed with cleanliness and open space. I didn't see any crumbs or fingerprints on the showcase. Pastries were displayed neatly inside the cases along with the clear explanation of what they are and how much they are. Most of the time, I don't buy a lot in Chinese bakeries because they are not very appealing. But I bought about 10 pastries. Total was $13. I wanted more but stayed with 10 since I already bought a bunch of Japanese pastries across the street before coming in. I love bread! My husband and I tried taro bread, sesame ball, raisin twist and an egg custard next morning, and were impressed. They are surprisingly so good! Will come back for sure.

    Maxim's has been a Vancouver mainstay for decades and continues to be my go-to place for fresh Chinese pastries. Regardless of the location, their pastries are consistently high quality and fresh. I love their Cocktail Buns and Pineapple Buns. Their Egg Tarts are also decent. The Fraser Location has a large floor plan, with several self-serve display cases. This location has a terrific selection of cakes as well.

    The servers here today were rude asf. I came to pick up the cake I ordered and they were like we don't have it. Then I find it myself and then they think I'm stealing someone. Else's cake that had what I asked them to write on it. Then they have the audacity to talk shhhh about me in Chinese to each other. Never coming here ever again. *edit* I just wanted to add this is the third time I've had a negative interaction with this establishment. They are consistently rude.

    Ordered a custom cake for a baby shower. It turned out great and was ready on time. It wasnt the exact shade as the picture i showed them, so be sure to specify when you order a cake. The cake was delicious, the sweetness of the cake was very subtle and guests loved it. I bought this 8" cake for $27. I accidentally shifted the cake when carrying it home but it was peefect when i got it. The service however could have been much more friendly. Also, they charged me an extra $3 just because i brought them a picture, which is a scam.

    * Dan tat pastry! * I spotted this new location of Maxim's. They seem to be popping up all over the place in the Vancouver area....This is a very clean and new location. The dan tat ($1) looked good, and I just had to try. The layers of pastry dough were flaky and crispy - just the way I like! In fact one of the best I've had in Vancouver. The custard was less so unfortunately. It was a bit too sweet and not eggy enough for my taste. I also like the top to be a bit more brown - particularly for a Portuguese style one. But it wasn't terrible. And did I mention that wonderful pastry crust? Now if we could just get the custard up to the same level this would be a five star dan tat!

    What isn't a 4 star when it's new ;) Brand-spanking, almost a month. While it doesn't have the food options like Chinatown, it does have great seating, lighting, and window action seats too. Nicely laid out, not cramped like their Metrotown or Chinatown either. Beside the Bank of Montreal.

    Usually for last few years I've been ordering from Esther at Dipnsip & Unni Pastries. I was…read morereferred at my friend's wedding as I was looking for cakes and pastries for in-laws. Well it seems ownership has changed and the new owner doesn't give two craps about prior customers, honoring discounts, replying back timely or being more friendly? Was playing email tag and finally submitted the 39 flavors and didn't hear back until after another week and then told they won't deliver only in morning when they know our reservation was for 730pm and they're open until 9? I even replied back and nothing. We own and run several business in lower mainland and in United States and this customer service from Unni Pastries is trash. At least you can do is reply back and apologize? For wasting time when I specifically told you it's for family and friends flying into town for a funeral burial. Will never use their business again. I highly suggest Mello. They replied and helped me out last minute. Shame on you! Learn how to run a business and treat customers esp previous customers who were supporting the business and fellow Krn but it's clear the new owner doesn't care about the customer or quality it's all about quantity. Maybe my 39 donuts which I offered to pay extra for time and packaging wasn't large enough but money is money. Especially during this time and economy. You should've at least replied back and even tried asking us to do pickup as the restaurant is down the road. Do better! Go to Mello which isn't too far and they bake fresh daily better pricing and reviews and consistency!

Also a lot of red bean. For savoury, they have large paninis and lasagna. The service is friendly and there's sufficient indoor seating.
