I was in love with the welcoming ambiance. There's a fridge with cakes to go, and the treat window was filled with sweet goodies to stock up on. There's not much of a seating area--just two armchairs--so it's more of a takeaway spot. We purchased cake trifles (Red Velvet & Cardamom), stuffed cookies (Lotus Biscoff & Cardamom Pistachio Chai), and sweet spot cakes (Mango Lassi & Kulfi) to go. Everything was delicious! The cookies weren't overly sweet and had the perfect chewy texture. My favorite was the Cardamom Pistachio Chai. Unfortunately, our visit happened to be during the heavy winds when most of the Lower Mainland had a power outage. I was so happy they were still open, as we had driven all the way from East Van to get there. They were flexible enough to take e-transfer as payment, which was a lifesaver. And lucky for us, we got to meet the man behind the bakery, Jujhar! Even though he was busy dealing with the power outage, he still took the time to say hello, which was really nice. I wish they were closer, but maybe it's a blessing in disguise because my wallet and waistline would definitely be in trouble. Overall, Mann & Co Bakeshop is absolutely worth the visit, even with a bit of a drive. The creative flavors, high-quality treats, and friendly service make it a standout spot for baked goods. I'll definitely be back (probably sooner than I should) to try more of their unique creations. If you're a fan of Is It Cake? or just love a good dessert adventure, this place should be on your list!

I've also tried their cakes in the past and I would rank them fairly high amongst other Chinese bakeries in the area though their cakes are a bit more pricy. Overall a very convenient location especially when on the way to Walmart for errands, a very solid Chinese bakery with lots of pastries that aren't too sweet

When it comes 2 risk, its safe 2 say we have become adept at restraint and the gravity of risk in general...so absolutely indulge in joy when it occurs , even seek it out and own that mo- fo 'cos this is somethin' u can totally control and feel good about it! The gyms r closed, winter is here,surround yourself with those ppl and things that deliver joy,be good on yourself, we have been through absolute hell, foodie-wise, personally, professionally and def socially! We will c this s- storm thru friends, in the meantime... call ahead the day b4 to pick up ur cinnamon buns with custom ingredients like raisins and extra icing ....that's how I roll.

Familiar classics from the best 'still warm' rolls,breads,pastries and decadent treats including hand made donuts, bars,cakes,cookies and even some rare goodies from another place and time you haven't eaten in decades. So do yourself a flavour favour and revisit your past with a sensory overload from yesteryear then take a bite of something new 2 start a whole new tradition for our bright future we all deserve just around the corner. Until then,remain patient,steadfast,kind and compassionate foodie friends. Nothing is forever so have an 'appy Nosh' and tomorrow we live to dine again...or do we "dine to live?" I'm in either way...
