    Salmon lox's with pickled onions, capers and arugula.
    Valerie T.

    On an early flight I was looking for a hardy breakfast to start my day. With a line that moved quickly I settled on salmon lox that had pickled onions, capers on an everything bagel. It is a located by gate 70-80's. The wait was 5 minutes. Although, the images show the lox on each half of the bagel so to my surprise it was actually a breakfast sandwich. Regardless, it was exactly what I was wanting. I personally could have made a small scoop of capers to balance it, but was more than happy with what I got. Glad I stopped and had breakfast as my flight ended up being diverted. The tables are located in front more food court style.

    I had their breakfast with 2 sunny side up eggs with sausage. It was surprisingly ok. My expectations were pretty low since we're at the airport, but the eggs were crackly crispy on the bottom and nicely runny yolks, the home fries were decent. The sausage was actually good quality, not some gristly fatty junk, but it could have been a bit hotter. I really should have ordered a side of toast, but wasn't sure it was an option. The hubby had a serviceable bagel with lox and cream cheese.

    Overcooked boba but nice staff and cute location in the international departure section of the Vancouver airport!

    Awful service. Awfully rude server, didn't even buy a drink. It's not hard to be nice!

    The worst. They wouldn't even acknowledge me sitting at the bar for 20 minutes. Don't do it!

    Our family had a Pacific Northwest trip and we made it a priority to check out different small…read moremom-and-pop bakeries. We arrived around 4 pm and there was a huge selection. We ordered the following: Pineapple bun Barbecue pork bun Mexican bun Sponge cake Custard bun I wish we ordered more because I thoroughly enjoyed every item. Some of the items that particularly appealed to me are the mung bean cake, wife cake, and lotus seed cake. I would love to revisit and try other items when and if we make another trip to the Pacific Northwest. They only accept cash or Canadian debit card. There is an ATM at the shopping mall next door. There is also a Royal Bank and BMO across the street.

    Walking into this bakery instantly brought me back to my childhood. The familiar Asian bakery…read moreatmosphere, from the warm yellow lighting to the classic display cases and even the elderly woman behind the counter, felt deeply nostalgic. It reminded me of searching for pineapple buns as a kid. Unfortunately, the experience quickly took a turn. My wife, child, and I stopped in close to closing because my child wanted sesame balls. It was his first time ever asking for them, so we were excited to get a few. When we brought our items to the counter, the staff member curtly told us to grab more pastries, which already felt a bit off. Things became more uncomfortable during checkout. We were told they only accept CAD cards, which is understandable, but when we asked about paying in USD, they agreed at a one to one rate. Not ideal, but we were happy to support a local business. Our total came to 10.75 CAD and we paid with 20 USD. Instead of receiving proper change, we were strongly encouraged to take additional pastries because they did not have change. The staff was quite insistent, and we ended up with several extra items we did not really want. To make matters worse, after piling multiple pastries into my wife's already full hands as she was carrying bags from traveling, we asked for a bag and were initially told no. Only after we returned some of the coins given as change did a box and then suddenly a bag become available. The entire interaction felt unnecessarily pressured and uncomfortable. While both parties were speaking Chinese, I could not shake the feeling of being taken advantage of as an outsider simply trying to support the business. To top it off, the pastries themselves were mediocre at best. It is a shame, because the place has such a nostalgic charm, but the service left a lasting negative impression.

    The best changfen I've ever had. I've had changfen in the bay and in china but I think the reason…read moreis so good here is because they make it to order and get it to you steaming hot (never got to experience this elsewhere, very unfortunate I know, even dimsum is just warm). Also compared it with a few other changfen/rice roll places in Richmond and we still loved this one the most, especially at this price point ($7.50 cad with egg added) The changfen isn't in very distinct strips because it hasn't had time to cool down and take shape, but I didn't mind. There's also a little table to sit at and the chili oil is SO GOOD OH MY GOD AND you MUST add an egg It's also super sweet how they're always really excited when we mention that we always stop by when we come up from Seattle :,) HARMONY BAKERY MY GOAT

There was a decent selection and we ordered the following: Steamed sponge cake 蒸鬆糕 Wife cake 老婆餅 Coconut tart 椰撻 Brown sugar walnut bread 紅糖核桃包 Prices are standard but the baked goods were average. The walnut bread was very dry. There was a small surprise though. I noticed several items are Taishan pastries packed in plastic boxes. Those are difficult to come across especially with modernization. We did not have the capacity to try those and it would be difficult to bring back to the US. If we ever revisit, I would love to give those a try.
