We were there on Boxing Day at about 10:15am. There was a limited selection of savoury and meat filled Chinese buns at that hour. Baked Char Sui bao, Cheese, Ham, Sausage buns. The fresh cream bun was added at this time. If you wanted Taro or Custard filled buns or Egg Tarts, there were none on the shelves. There was a posted board outside the bakery offering "buy 6, no tax and receive one egg tart". I bought six buns and received a small HK milk tea, which was fine instead of an egg tart. The buns filling and dough texture was so-so imo, when I compare it to buns available at Markham Chinese bakeries. However, it filled our need while we lined up at another store on the day.

I was there overhearing that they will be having their grand opening soon. You can find your classic buns here like sausage bun, pineapple bun and char siu bun. But they also have specialty buns like fried chicken sandwiches, garlic cheese sausage buns and more. Buns are fairly priced here as well in my opinion with fried chicken sandwiches being less than $4. They also sell whole cakes and slices of cakes which looks really good. Interior of the bakery is beautiful and newly renovated. It's brightly lit and super clean inside. The one cashier cashing me out was friendly and chatty which I enjoyed. Telling me that VIP cards will be available once grand opening happens, but didn't know the exact date of their grand opening yet. Make sure to check out these affordable and tasty buns!

She also picked up a small strawberry cheesecake. I did not go into the store, so I cannot speak about that. The cookies were a hit with the kids and the cheesecake was yummy. It was not too sweet and had just the right amount of tang. Fairly light, but still very flavorful. Pricing I thought was a little on the pricey side. It was. $103 for the small cake and 7 cookies. I guess that's probably average, but coming from a smaller town, it's more than I expected. Still happy to support small businesses.

Well, for some reason my family had asked for HALF sugar for a CAKE. They obliged. Surprisingly it wasn't bad. The inside flavour had a layer of chestnut mousse which was also quite alright. The appearance was a little wilted. When it was being picked up, we were told that any jostling would probably dislodge the fruit topping because it was so fresh and didn't have a time to set. We didn't really get this cake to impress the eyes, just the mouth so it wasn't a huge deal.

If you like my reviews, consider "following" my profile for reviews all across the SF Bay Area . Why "follow" someone? It causes the person you follow's reviews to tier to top when you pull up a business. I find this very handy when researching venues. Rod's Review grading scale explained. Essentially I personally base it on the likelihood of a return visit and I try to be stingy with 5 star reviews since they should be "special" in my eyes. Price/Value also play a role obviously but there are $ and $$$$ littered across my grading scale. 5 stars - "I'll go out of my way" (approx 6 % of my reviews) 4 stars- "If I was in the area I'd go here and would recommend", (approx 38% of my reviews) 3 stars "Maybe if was nearby", (approx 37% of my reviews) 2 stars -"Would likely not return, Only if you want to go", (approx 16% of my reviews) 1 star -"No thanks, even if I was hungry", (approx. 3 % of my reviews)

TLDR: Good, a bit pricey, would go again for the classic pineapple bun…read more TIP: I believe they're debit or cash only. Debit is also only for $25+ purchases. Xuan Bakery has been on my list since they've opened and I finally had the chance to take a peek inside! It's your classic Chinese bakery, so nothing special there - you just take the tray and tongs at the far end and make your way to the register. The spacing can be done a little better - you can't really have more than 2-3 people looking and getting buns at the same time. SELECTION: There wasn't a lot of variety, but with the selection they do have, it was pretty unique. They have two different types of Pineapple Buns (bo lo bao): the classic and a Taiwanese version (which looks like Japanese melon buns). They also have several different sausage buns, including one with cheese and another with pork floss. These also look a bit different, it's not encased in the bun, but it's more of a hotdog kind of look. They also offer cakes and free samples of their cakes, which look and taste like your typical Chinese bakery cakes (not my preferred taste). They seem to really want to upsell their cakes (the lady kinda tried pressuring me to try and buy). PRICE: The prices were on the higher end. You're looking at about $4-6 per bun. They also have a 'lucky draw' going on right now if your subtotal is more than $25, but my draw required a minimum purchase of $35 lol (for a free slice of cake). FAV: The classic pineapple bun. The top was SO crispy yet the bottom was SO soft. I would go back just for this by itself. There was a lady ahead of me who ONLY bought the pineapple buns. She knows what's up.

The winter melon paste had a unique chewy flavor and a bit of crunch here and there that was delicious. Glad it wasn't mushy or soggy, the next day when we got them.

So yummy, I would highly recommend the 老婆饼 from Fragrant Bakery, and I'm sure their other pastries are delicious too, based on other Yelp reviews! When I visit Toronto, I'll stop by Fragrant to pick up some pastries and baked goods to bring home.

I've been to this Saint Germain Bakery twice. My first visit was in December. I wanted to get macarons for my friend and colleague. I also got a six-pack of molten cheese tarts. I recently returned after my dental appointment. I was craving a croissant. This place uses a ton of butter, to the point where you can smell the butter as you are approaching the store. It's that level of buttery happiness that I wanted. Little did I know after uploading my whack-load of photos that I never reviewed this place. Oops! My guess is that I came here during my last week in the office and then I went on vacation, which seemed to include not writing a review. Well, here goes! This bakery is on the northwest corner of Pharmacy and McNicoll in Scarborough. There is parking at the back of the store. It's weird that the main entrance faces McNicoll. The businesses next to it have entrances that face Pharmacy. It's heavenly walking into this bakery. It specializes in Cantonese baked goods, such as beef curry buns, BBQ turnovers, and more. It does put a spin on non-traditional Chinese goods that use a lot of butter. The croissants and pain au chocolat are excellent. They are flaky, buttery, and delicious. I need to get macarons. I've gifted a six-pack, but have never consumed any. The molten cheese tarts are to-die-for good. I brought six of them into work last December and were a hit with my colleagues. They were rich in cheese flavour, each bite melted in my mouth, and they had the best buttery crust holding everything together. I recently indulged in a bunch of buns and flaky pastries, from a curry beef roll, to a BBQ pork bun. There wasn't anything that I didn't like. Everything was fresh and flavourful. This place didn't skimp on filling. I learned that you can get a VIP card that gets you 10% your purchase. This card is $10 on its own. You can get it for free when you buy at least $30 worth of goods. I managed to hit the latter by getting a container for pecan shortbread that was divine. These round shortbread were also a hit at work. Staff here are always helpful. I may need to order a cake from this place. They looked so good, especially the ones with fruit on top. This place also sells Hong Kong-style tea and lobster rolls. The latter was sold out when I was here on Tuesday. I'll need to get the former next time. If you are a bakery fan, come here. It's excellent! (199)
