I have tried their mochi finally & it is really really good! It is the perfect bite where the mochi is soft, stretchy, sticky and chewy and the mango (there are other options) filling is plentiful and fresh/sweet. Recently, I got to try two of their 6 inch cakes. The earl grey tea chestnut cake with fresh strawberries and the black sesame mochi lava cake with fresh mangoes. Both cakes are AMAZING! I could taste the earl grey flavor and the chestnut flavor separately along with the fresh strawberries, it is a wonderful combination. The black sesame one was sooooo good also. It has black sesame mousse on the outside and the top is like a black sesame lava topped with pistachios and some kind of nutty crumble crunch. The inside has mochis layered within along with black sesame cake, more of that nutty crumble crunch and at the bottom is fresh mangoes. I honestly don't know which one I like better but I am craving either cakes again (I had both within the last 3 weeks haha). The service there is still excellent. Everyone working there is so kind & helpful. The ambiance is nice... it is spacious, bright and clean. I really love going in there and chatting with everyone while receiving top notch service. read more

Unfortunately I had a bad experience with ordering a custom cake at this Panash location recently. I went in 1.5 weeks ahead of time to place my order, and showed the staff the inspiration that I saw on their page as the design that I wanted. I used the previous cakes that they have made to base my design off of. It seemed like they understood my vision. Additionally, I was bringing in my own edible images for them to put around my cake. They had no problem doing this. I paid in full at the time of placing my order ($75, which was a vanilla fruit cake with two tiers). A week later, I brought my photos in. I picked up my cake a few days later and I was so disappointed with how things turned out. It was not how I envisioned it and everything was poorly made. The fondant was falling off by the time I picked up the cake and opened it at home (which was only 15 minutes later), the photos were placed awkwardly around the cake (when I specifically asked them to space the photos out around the cake), the colour of the cake wasn't what was described (I asked for a space blue gradient), and the random sprinkles on the top of the cake were falling off by the time I got home. The black fondant outlining the photos doesn't even align with the edge of the photos. I didn't have the heart to tell them how disappointed I was with how things turned out. I ended up fixing some of these things on my own. Taste wise, the buttercream on the outer layer of the cake was too thick and most people didn't end up eating it. The cake itself was good with the mixed fruit. Staff were nice and I thought things would have been better. Overall, I won't be ordering a custom cake again. I'll settle for the display cakes. Note: I blurred out the faces of the edible photos. read more

One of the best places to go to for cakes and pastries. We have ordered whole cakes as well as bought the single serve cakes. They also have a mochi counter with a good selection of different fillings. The shop is usually playing some jazz or relaxing music as the aroma of the fresh baked goods fill the store. They also have beverages available. The latest one I tried was their Mont Blanc. I chose to try it because they do a phenomenal chestnut cake. You would never feel skimped on the chestnuts (as some places do) and the balance of sweetness and the earthiness of chestnuts is just perfect. The Mont Blanc here did not disappoint. It was in a tart format (lined with chocolate it seems) with a bit of cake in the tart topped with a generous portion of chestnut cream. It was also lightly decorated for Christmas which was a nice touch. I would also highly recommend their almond tea in a bottle. It's not to sweet and super smooth. It is a bit pricey but I do get it once in awhile as a treat. Tip: definitely join their loyalty program. You fill the account like a gift card and then they give you bonus vouchers. Gets you 10% off every time and then points to redeem for product. We have redeemed for a whole cake. It was awesome! read more

I used to go to the one across from Markville Mall but I'm so glad they opened up another location in this area. I've been ordering cakes from here for a while now. I love how they don't make them overly sweet compared to western places. I also love their Chinese buns and egg tarts. Their egg tarts are super delicious even though it's a bit pricey. read more

A Chinese bakery that is more modernized with lots of options for breads and cakes. Came in the morning and was my first time here. Upon entering, you'll notice they have a drinks/ bubble tea stall to the left of the store. On the right where majority of the action takes place is where they have all the buns displayed for a self serve style. Grab a tray and a pair of tongs and explore the delicious bread options. They have the classics like hot dog buns, pineapple buns, cha siu buns and more. They also have more interesting flavours like hot dog cheese buns, garlic bread buns, to name a few. Near their cash area you'll see a display of whole cakes and slices of cake. I've had them before and they're oh so delicious. They also have freshly baked egg tarts that keep coming out once in a while. There's plenty of tables for you to grab a seat and enjoy your buns after you've purchased them. Saw many people sitting down and enjoying their morning bread and coffee. Looks like a great spot to work from, not sure if they have free wifi though. Would come back again to grab more buns on the go or even their cakes. Their cakes are so delicious and not too sweet for the Asian palette. read more

Appreciate the fact that they use organic eggs--it had a good egg flavor unlike some other places. Also appreciate the option to have a "cookie" crust or a "flaky" crust. Majority of my family prefer the cookie crust. The egg tarts themselves are 7.5-8.0/10. The baked cha siu bao was a 10/10. Also tried the black sesame pudding and split pea coconut pudding. I'm sure it's made of high quality ingredients but I prefer the consistency of T&T's split pea coconut pudding more as the texture is smoother and taste is sweeter. The black sesame seed paste pudding was okay...not as sweet as I would've liked. read more

Splendid service. Clean and pleasant establishment. I loved the jazz music in the background when we were there. Gave it that exquisite ambience. The buns and pastries are lovely. I love their location. Would go back anytime. read more

Good bread n tarts n service staff arr friendly n efficient only wish they have bigger bags when purchased more items

If you have a soft spot for desserts, particularly cakes and pastries, Panash is defintely worth checking out. I dropped in at their location on Markham Rd for dessert after having lunch nearby. They have tons of choices and it was hard to pick just one but their Mango Mousse Cake whispered to me. It was pretty good - nice mango flavour, light, with just the right amount of sugar. Just right! read more

Very nice and cozy new location for this bakery! Their first location was at hwy 7. They originated back in Cheung Chau, Hong Kong. The Mochi selection is a wide selection from matcha red bean, creamy custard, lava silk stocking milk tea, durian, biggie mango and cutie mango. They were all so fresh and delicious made in house with fresh ingredients. The mango was fresh and the Mochi was a good texture, nice and chewy and not too thick! For durian lovers, the durian Mochi is a must try. They have milk tea made in house and bottled. Very convenient. The mango Pomelo sago and walnut paste were served cold. Perfect dessert as we enter the summer. If you like it warm, can always bring it home and warm it up. Their egg tarts were good! Must check this bakery out, mochis and desserts made from scratch, dedication, a piece of HK memory in Markham. Must try! read more

Love this new location! Beautiful spacious layout for two places to mingle into each other. Lots of bright natural light help showcase all the tasty treats to be had here. Egg tarts here and a must try. Two different tart shells, shortbread and flaky crust. The magic of lard makes the flaky layers of crust possibly, my absolute favourite! Their newer way to package half a dozen tarts also makes it impressive to bring over when visiting friends. It's a pretty yellow rectangular case, where each tart is well protected in its compartment. The buns have the moist soft, chewy and fluffy bread texture chew! This is made possible with the special technique of cooking part of the dough which makes these buns stay moist for a longer time as well. The BBQ pork is another must try as well as the pineapple bun which has fresh pineapples in it. Nothing is overly sweet or spicy, it's all kid friendly. One or two buns may help that lunch hunger if running errands in this busy area. $2-3/bun seems the normal pricing for quality bakery items. Fresh pressed milk alternatives like soy, walnut in the fridge section. Smaller roll cakes also found here, with typical flavours, vanilla, mango, matcha. Visit early for beat pick, as some treats were snatched up quickly! Tip: cash or debit only below $20, being small business and all. read more

In early September, I was in the eastern part of Markham, visiting Urban Cova to order bubble tea for the first time. When I arrived, I noticed that Urban Cova and Panash share the same space. Cool! I backed into a parking spot steps away from the entrance. I was going into a Chinese bakery-bubble tea combo store. Brace myself. I could do a lot of damage. I sure did! After I ordered my bubble tea, I browsed around Panash. I looked at everything from Swiss rolls to coconut tarts. Everything looked amazing. I was lured into getting a tray and tongs, and I started picking up buns as if they were free. I settled for the following buns: - Pineapple bao with barbeque pork - Hot dog - Ham and egg - SPAM and egg - Coconut-filled - Ham and cheese I brought my tray of baked goods up to the counter. I got the nicest woman who automatically spoke to me in Cantonese. She placed each bun in its own hermetically sealed bag, and then placed everything in a larger bag with handles. She was efficient and made sure that my goodies were safely packed. She asked me how I'd like to pay. I was stumped trying to figure out how to say debit card in Cantonese. I've never had to do it. I can't use the term for credit card because it's different. So, I didn't translate it at all. It was debit. If anyone knows, I'm curious. I'll need to research it, because I had the same issue at C+ Tea recently, too. It still bugs me. I thanked the woman, who was gracious and incredibly nice, and headed to my car with bubble tea in one hand and baked goods in the other. I ate a bun a day for breakfast. I started with the SPAM and egg. So good! I loved the combination. I got a thick slice of SPAM with egg, protected by the fluffy bun. I need to get another one. The pineapple bao with barbeque pork also stands out as being awesome! There was lots of filling. The barbeque pork was delicious. I loved the sliced almonds on top of the cap that makes it a pineapple bun. Fabulous! I loved all the buns that I had bought. I have always enjoyed a coconut-filled bun since my childhood. It was the only one that wasn't savoury. It was slightly sweet and made me so happy. The bun that you don't get your bang for your buck is the ham and cheese one. It's a bun with a thin strip of ham on top, with melted cheese to keep the ham intact. It was yummy, but I felt that it needed more ham. I am drooling thinking about how yummy my bun haul was here. I need to return. I'd likely get a swiss roll and more baked items. (401) read more

I really like the service, very sweet cantonese women. The buns are consistent every time, good for a quick snack. The vanilla swiss roll isn't the moist and sponge-y texture that I like but where it doesn't hit in texture, it more than makes up for in taste. Not enough cream either but it's super fragrant and just the right amount of sweetness. The cakes I've tried are good: the matcha yuzu and the mont blanc are my go tos! but the tiramisu is meh. The mochi is trash, except the durian one. The egg tarts have gotten more egg-y than custard-y for my liking. Both the flaky crust and butter crust are still good but the filling is too dense. read more

Desserts were amazing ... not overly sweet and just enough to share all the flavors. Charcoal cheesecake - soft and creamy, not a strong cheese flavor. Cookie monster cake - chocolate flavor, not for me. Almond coffee mousse cake - nice coffee flavor throughout just the almonds were not as crunchy as I would've like. There is a crispy layer between which brings good texture. Durian pandan cake - light durian and pandan flavors, and they both work well together. Lotus Paste with pickled ginger and thousand year old egg - really filled up with everything. It's a full of different flavors and textures .. one of my favorites. The lotus paste wasn't too sweet and the pickled ginger cuts the lotus paste so it goes very well along with the egg. read more

Panash Bakery is a great Chinese style bakery at Markham Road and Bur Oak that sells delicious mochi, egg tarts, buns, breads and cakes. This newer location of Panash Bakery is located on the same property as Urban Cova (which has since closed). I like the selection of baked goods here. They carry traditional Chinese bakery staples like egg tarts, pineapple buns, as well as crumble topped bbq pork buns. I absolutely adore their mango mochi. They are a bit pricey but I like that they are filled with a substantial and sweet piece of mango that is wrapped in chewy mochi without fillers such as red bean or whipped cream. Although there is a Panash bakery located closer to home, I prefer this location which has seating, is less busy, and where it's easier to find parking. read more

The last Asian bakery that wowed me was Lucullus, but Panash has the upper hand in my opinion. Everything here was delicious, especially their egg tarts. Panash boasts that they use organic eggs. Not sure if it's in my head, but I feel like that contributes to making their pastries taste better. Their charcoal cheescake is also amazing. Super light and airy like mousse. Their buns were also terrific, as well as their egg salad buns and croissants. Only item that was soso was their durian pudding. I wouldn't get it again. It has real durian at the bottom but it tasted acidic like it's gone bad. They also have a free loyalty program that gets you a free treat on your birthday and also earn points. Overall, highly recommend! read more

Best HK bakery in town. I personally love their egg tart, it's better than the "queen" one. Pineapple bun, sausage bun, bbq pork bun are nice and delicious! They also have good strawberry short cake. If they have better handwriting on the cake message, that will be perfect. Friendly and helpful staff. Love to be here every time. read more

Their grand opening was on June 6 last week, I went by today and only chairs inside the store. Quite happy there is a bubble tea + Chinese bakery place near my home. Chinese Buns are good too, on par with St Germaine in Markville. This is their second location, original location is beside congee Queen on Hwy 7 x McCowan. read more

Panash Bakery is a decent bakery for locals in Markham. I used to go there quite often, however one time I bought one of the puddings and when I opened it the same night the whole thing tasted and smelled sour. It's unbelievable that a place with that many workers doesn't have quality checks everyday. The overall vibe of the store is nice and quaint. Another thing that I noticed is that the owner is so cheap he makes customers pay debit card fees to pay. read more

Panesh has become my go to bakery place for quick Asian buns. They have two locations in Markham, Bur Oak & Markham road and McCowan & Hwy 7. Lots of great buns that range from $2.5-$4. Some interesting varieties there like the cheese sausage bun with salad dressing, bolo bun with actual pineapples. They don't seem to have many cake flavors however, only the typical Black Forest, strawberry, chocolate mousse, mango cakes and some flavored cream cheese cakes. Egg tarts come in both butter crust or flaky crust and are decent. You can also order Chinese desserts and mochis here as well. They have a membership/loyalty program that you basically sign up and prepaid $99 up front to be used as store credits and they'd give you two $10 gift certificates, 2 free buns/tarts of your choice when signing up. I ended up signing up because I needed to buy two birthday cakes ($48 each) and it was a better deal for me to join their loyalty program so I can use the gift certificates PLUS earn loyalty points all while using up my prepaid dollars. read more

So happy there's a Chinese bakery that's near my home! It's best to go in the morning when they open because buns are baked fresh and it smells so divine in there. Definitely better quality buns than St Germains, Lucullus or the bigger chain stores (this location at least). Their signature bolo bao is perfectly baked - soft, moist bun with crunchy but not crumbly (it doesn't drop off when you take a bite into it) top! Highly recommend if you're passing by or even just if you crave for some buns - perfect for a snack or a light lunch. read more
