It's definitely one of the top cakes I've ever had - and I've had a lot of cakes! They are generous with both the mango and chestnut filling. Sooo sooo good! I ordered over the phone and it was pretty easy. The staff were very helpful. I do wish they had their cake menu somewhere because I had to ask what kind of cakes they had. Hard to picture everything over the phone. Pick up was quick and easy. They have a rewards system that I'm interested in too. Probably worth it if you order from here a lot. I'm curious about their baked goods too. Everything looked so good!

I have seen an article about this place (introducing it as an award winning bakery) a few years…read moreago. It is a Hong Kong style bakery, offering a variety of buns (both savory and sweet) and tarts at affordable price. Stepping in, it was more like cafe offering variety of drinks than regular HK style bakery. Bright and clean. Looking closely at each product, the quality seemed to be better than other counterparts- each looked fluffier, less greasy, and a bit more sophisticated in presentation. I got - BLB (Bo Lo Bao): Crunchy cookie crust on soft bun. - Crispy cream: Crispy sweet topping on soft bao - Chestnut Bao - Sugar donut - Egg tart Buns are very pillowy. The taste was "milk forward", no detectable butter flavor, which makes their aftertaste light & healthy. I found that the texture is a bit drier than I preferred. We liked Chestnut Bao. Chestnut paste matched the milky sweet bun. Overall, affordable, a lot of options and comforting. Next time I want to try savory types of buns!!! Oh each buns are individually bagged and sealed. Which is great, but you want to open it before buns with sugar topping get soggy inside. ;)

Their egg tarts are excellent, along with their milk tea. However, I need to call out their frozen rice dishes. It's like a mini clay pot rice place, with chinese sausage and a salty egg. There are other variations as well. If you go to the food court in the mall, they have them already steamed hot and ready to eat! Pricing is reasonable. Each location I've been to has plenty of parking, very clean and comfortable decor along with friendly staff. I would highly recommend this local bakery in the Markham area.

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)

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.

The toppings on one of the filled cheese type buns I tried were a little too sweet for my personal preference but it is common for Chinese style baked goods. Parking is easy and abundant so it's a nice spot if you want quick baked items to go. They also had a small table with two chairs if you wanted to eat in.

Still on a macaron quest for the best, I decided to drop by on a Tuesday earlier this month, a day before heading to the office for the last time in 2024. The parking lot is behind the bakery. I had no problem backing into an available spot and walking over to the bakery. You can smell the butter as you approach the main entrance. I was excited to check it out. It has buns with various fillings. I completely ignored this section when I saw macaron sets in the display case. I wanted to get it for my friend and colleague. I also got six molten cheese tarts. They looked so good. I thought that it would be perfect to share with my small team. The woman behind the counter was so patient and friendly. I paid with a credit card. I tapped and was good. I then carried my goodies to my car. My friend was happy to get the macarons. I haven't asked him how they were. I will when we are both back in the office. I'll need to get a set for me to enjoy. The molten cheese tarts were a hit. My friend and I loved how delicious and smooth the cheese tart filling was. It had a slight saltiness with the buttery crust that worked so well with the filling. My friend had two. I had two. I offered my manager one. He didn't hesitate. He took his first bite and was sucked into the heavenly goodness of this magical tart. I'm not kidding. It's amazing. I don't recall who ate the last one. I just know that it was gone and I had nothing to bring home. I will return and get some buns. It's funny that I completely ignored that section, but I do know that it exists. (502)

Parking can be busy depending on the restaurants nearby, there is additional parking just south across the road. Service was quick and polite. Food: Black sesame cake. The design is interesting to look at. The cake itself is not bad - not light nor heavy, just the right cake consistency. The black sesame cream has a hint of black sesame in it and adds moisture. The most controversial part of the cake is the little black sesame cubes on the top of the cake. These undeniably have more black sesame flavor but lean towards the drier side. I wish they were a bit more moist but still the black sesame flavor is nice. Price: I do find cakes here on the pricier side and while the flavors are unique, there's a lot of competition with other Asian bakeries where you can get a pretty similar flavor profile for cheaper.
