They have so many cake options and it was really difficult to choose. The prices were really reasonable and I was pleasantly surprised by how good everything tasted. I especially enjoyed the salted caramel donut. The staff were very friendly and super quick with getting everything packed up. There are quite a few seats inside too so I might stay and enjoy my cake next time. :)

Also ordered some pastries: maple pecan brioche, Apple danish, fruit and custard danish, birdsnest, coconut macaroon, and can't remember the last thing, we ate it so fast. Everything was so good! Everything had a nice texture, not too rich or doughy. Well sized, so you can cut and share. Too bad we live too far away to frequent this place more often. I had my hands full with the cake box and all, so the cashier went out of her way to open the door for me! She had also pointed out the goodies on the shelf behind her which I wouldn't have noticed if she didn't. Just a couple of seats in front of the window so more of a take out place. Place is just lovely! Bring cash or debit only, no credit card.

I came here to pick up some treats while in the Steveston neighbourhood. I got a maple brioche,…read morepistachio raspberry tart, and an earl gray and cranberry scone. It is quite a small store inside with no seating but I did appreciate how it had a ramp to get inside as I had my stroller with me that day. I would have to say that every single one of the baked goods that I got were absolutely phenomenal and I cannot wait to be back to try more of their selections.

I found out that Saint Germain Bakery was doing a $1 promotion for their longjing tea pastry with…read moremochi and I had to get it because I love mochi! The Guildford location is really great because it's not crowded and I was able to get the pastry while it was still warm. I liked how the taste was light and the texture of mochi and flakey pastry combined was really nice. I also got a wintermelon pastry. Overall, the store was organized, friendly, and I had a wonderful experience

I've been visiting this Chinese bakery quite frequently since they're doing a $1 special everyday…read morefor the rest of May! This time, the sale item was a cheese wiener bun which was fairly solid but could've used a bit more cheese in my opinion. I'm excited to see what other items they will put as part of this promotion since I'm able to try new buns that I wouldn't normally get (I usually stick to their Curry Beef Bun since it's the best one I've had). 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

I have tried more things from here since my first visit a few years ago. I really want to love the…read morecakes here but they are just not wow to me. The highlight is still the shortbread cookies. The cakes are still not that great to me. The latest cake I tried was the Dubai chocolate cake. If I eat it as just a chocolate cake, then it's good. As Dubai chocolate, it falls way short. It is lacking the kataifi (or knafeh) bits and I can barely taste the pistachio cream or tahini. The chocolate is probably overpowering the other flavors. Very pretty in presentation though. The blackforest cake is also lacking in the kirsch taste. I can barely taste it. Maybe I had a such a great tasting blackforest cake before that many places do not match up to it. Bottom line: just get the shortbread cookie. Get the cakes only if you're really craving it and this is the only place nearby for it.

The chocolate icing was just right to add a thin layer of silkiness without feeling greasy, and lighten up the chocolate cheese cake. The 6" cake is just right for a group of 6-10.

The majority of their breads taste great, and this time, I discovered some new items! I got a purple rice loaf, chocolate swirl loaf, and molten matcha bread. They also had a purple yam loaf, which made it hard to choose. The Molten Matcha bread had matcha cream inside with matcha-colored bread. The texture was soft, and the cream wasn't too sweet - very good. The Chocolate Swirl loaf had a fluffy and soft texture. The chocolate swirl wasn't overwhelming, but it was still pretty good. The standout item was the Purple Rice loaf. The purple rice was kneaded inside the bread, and it was absolutely delicious - packed with filling and great flavor. Overall, I liked all the loaves. I highly recommend this bakery for their breads, cookies, and other items!

Perfect Small Town Bakery [Chemainus BC]…read more The community of Chemainus has this great little bakery. It was a 12-min drive from where we were staying in Crofton. We came here twice -- Sunday (unfortunately, they are closed on weekends). Business hours posted on their window are Mon-Fri 7:00a to 5:00p so we came back on a Tuesday afternoon. The different pastries in the display case looked so pretty and inviting... they even have egg rolls! I tried their Coffee Cake w/ Crumble Topping... not too sweet, just delightful. I also had the Apple Fritter... mmm, scrumptious warm apple fritter. I also bought a loaf of butter crust bread to take home (husband looked at me funny). Service was A+. Seating available inside and outside their store for those who enjoy sunshine. Delicious pastries at very reasonable prices. Even better deal when I saw the conversion from CAD to USD on my bank statement. My loaf of bread was a little over $2 USD. Review #3156

Staff is always pleasant and helpful . The parking lot is terrible since the mall redid the layout and the addition of the new No Frills which is in the same corner as the bakery . Of course this has nothing to do with the bakery itself and just a note to self . I always pop in for fresh pastries when we have company coming over and everyone comments on how delicious they are . Great little local family shop . Well worth the short drive for me and the quality of items .
