    I love their chestnut bun $4.5
    Mari E.

    On the right wall side, there is shelf for bulk and big round brioche $4.2-$4.5 They are so handy for quick breakfast and very tasty! I bought chestnut brioche which is about 30cm diameter and 10 m depth. Very dense and rich enough for the price. It's not real brioche from a fancy French bakery but super soft and buttery. Bulk one are bit dry inside. The balance of chestnut is good too. Those spots are mainly sweet and no need to have jam.

    Their napoleon was huge so i had to buy it. We also bought egg tarts and chinese white sugar steamed cake. I just took a picture of the napoleon. So many layers. The top has peanuts. Coconut and powder sugar. The layers create a mouthful of texture. Pretty gd but i wish they had a walnut layer inside like Anna's bakery. The chinese steamed white sugar cake was super. Soft and tasty but nothing too special

    A pineapple bun, a coconut bun, and a mini egg tart all for $1.70 after tax.

    How have I not been here before? This little gem is across the street from a plaza that my hubby gets his hair cut at and we decided to stop by for a post-lunch dessert. We only had a toonie on us (it's cash only) so we were ready to drop it all on an egg tart but I was shocked to find that they have a mini egg tart deal at 3 for $1.60! The pineapple bun and the coconut bun also had the same deal so I asked to mix and match and they were happy to comply. The egg tart had a soft shortbread cookie-like shell and the filling was slightly sweeter than average but it was perfect as a dessert. I actually found the mini tart to be the perfect size as well. The buns were ever so slightly smaller than the ones you might find at maxims or t&t but they were delicious and they were an incredible deal. I cannot wait until my next visit... I'll just have to remember to bring enough cash to try EVERYTHING!

    Probably can be a one-star higher if marketing was a higher priority for them. Only thing going for them is value and cheap, surprise, surprise. I get that these places are small-time compared to Anna's but as you can from pic, pretty plain jane. Located across from the McDonalds, easy to miss as the exterior isn't really eye catchy, plus a bus stop here doesn't help, but on to the review... Like how it's spacious, with the counters a bit deep, so you can actually stand back and just snoop around first...other places, it's so small, and they're on you right away. Ordered the egg tarts (the bigger ones over the mini's), napoleon (not as well made but dad liked it), coconut bun and the 'cookie', which for a $1, was worth the nibble all day. Worth a repeat visit as there are 2 tables to hang out. Frozen buns of some sort also available in their cooler on the left side. Cash only. Friendly.

    This bakery on Victoria Drive changed hands a few time in it's history. The current owners have a fairly good customer base with many returnees. They lack marketing, but have a good strategy going for them. They are located next to a bus stop and they open their doors so the fresh baked good aroma can flood nasal passages for the people waiting for the bus. 9/10 times while I've waited for the bus, I made that U-turn into the bakery for the coconut buns. They sell fruit and chocolate sponge cakes, daily baked buns and specialities items. Their items in the display case aren't as fresh as the ones in the cooling racks. Their prices are fairly cheaper than the ones at the Maxim Bakery (in the London Drugs complex). There is three other competitions on the Victoria Drive/41st area, but Mei Yee has the better buns.

    I ordered the 6 inch mango cake for my sister's birthday and it was absolutely worth it! The cake…read morewas light, fresh, and full of delicious mango flavour without being overly sweet. It was a huge hit with everyone! The 6 inch cake was $69 and I added a customized birthday message on chocolate for an extra $3 which was a nice personal touch. They also offer a gluten free option for an additional $10 which is great for accommodating different dietary needs. One thing to keep in mind is that you'll want to order online well in advance because their cakes sell out quickly. I can definitely see why. They're fantastic! I'll be ordering from Gary's Patisserie again for future celebrations.

    Have seen Gary's fresh mango cakes all over IG and with my Dad's recent birthday I convinced my…read moresister to order one, instead of our usual mango cake from Saint Germaine bakery. Gary's only allows to order the fresh mango cakes up to one week ahead to ensure they have enough ripe mangos, which I admire their dedication. We ordered the 6 inch cake for 9 people (7 adults and 2 kids) and everyone got a thin to average slice. The cake is definitely prettier than the other fresh mango cakes on the market, has a lot more mangos that are perfectly ripe and sweet, there is less wipped cream, and the sponge cake is softer. The family agreed that Gary's has the best fresh mango cake but at $69 for a 6 inch cake, versus $43 for a 6 inch mango cake from Saint Germaine, a cake from Gary's is definitely a treat and for special occasions. Is Gary's worth the premium price? I think so but not everyone in my family agreed. One thing to note: Gary's do offer cake in a jar that's $8.50 each. When we went, they had a BOGO deal with the mango cake jars. My nephew asked my sister to buy the BOGO deal knowing that the 6 inch cake was not going to be enough, as the kids like having a second slice of cake.

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!
