The cashier could not communicate - she just pointed to the till after she keyed in all the prices…read moreand she just looked at our purchases. She did not say anything or even look at us. There was no service at all. Therefore, my sister told me to leave and as I was thinking about it, the cashier called a girl to come out from the kitchen to help her speak. I asked the girl if they had rice dumplings and she brought us to the freezer to show us. Then the cashier went to the front counter to check the prices of the rice dumplings before she keyed them into the till. I asked them if they took cash or credit/debit card, she said both. Then she asked me if my card was U.S. and I said no. I did not know why she asked. Then she told me they would take debit card. They should put a sign at the counter to let customers know the payment methods. Moreover, the tap function of their card machine was not working and they did not want to give us receipts until we asked them. The girl just gave us the receipt from the card machine but we also wanted the receipt from the till. Then the cashier said she could not give us both receipts because they would not be able to balance the till later (that was the only time that she spoke). It was not true; stores always give both receipts to customers (one from the card machine and one to show the transactions). The girl talked to the cashier and they put the receipt from the till unwillingly onto the counter then they both looked away from us and talked to each other without handing our purchases to us. Then one of them said, "It's okay" behind us as we were walking to the door. We realized after the interaction that the cashier was hard of hearing as the girl kept telling her what to do. If so, then they should have a sign in the store saying that the cashier was disabled to let customers know so there would not be any misunderstandings. Or they could give a tag for the cashier to wear with the words 'I'm deaf' so the customers would be patient with her. It was not about her work performance; it was about her attitude. She seemed like she did not want to serve. There were places that hired disabled servers and those servers were friendly. Also, those places alerted the customers of the disability to decrease the chances of miscommunication. Some people even went to support those places because they wanted to support those servers. The buns and the mochi tasted okay. The one star is for the service and the store setting. First, they turned off the light inside the bakery which was odd. Do they still want business? Second, half of the store was empty - there were no products on the shelf and there was trash and dust everywhere. It was better for them to simply close the store for the day. P.S. When I went to the bakery more than 15 years ago, the bakery looked nice and bright and it was full of products. I went there often and the store was always busy. The cashier was fine and they even had mini snowy mooncakes. I did not know what had happened to the bakery since then. It is pathetic now.

I know this is not about Paris Baguette (and yes I've been to Paris Baguette/eaten many items from…read morethem before they've opened in Vancouver). Saint bakery consistency in their product is still one I prefer. 3/5 They should have better names/labels on their products considering they are starting to charge a premium 4/5 Most buns/cakes are actually very good ?/5 Service and ambiance depending on location/time/server, too many variables to give a mark. I don't personally have many must order (I have friends/families/colleges) who just show up with them. However I really enjoy the matcha bun, the red bean and mocha bun, chestnut cakes, milk breads.

I know it may not be their fault, but shrinkflation has arrived at this location. Most of the…read morebaked goods are clearly smaller. The buns, the loaves, and most of everything else. They're still good, of course. Just noticeably smaller now. And I do appreciate the fact that I can pop in and buy a HK style milk tea. Birthday cakes are still a reason to come, although their prices have increased somewhat.

Odd how this place gets such a low score, it is really the same as any other Anna's you go to…read more.. you know why? Cause the goods come from their main bakery on Broadway and get delivered here, so there should be no product difference except the fact you have to walk into the mall, unlike their other stores which are usually outside. It is the only Anna's in Richmond servicing the area, and for what it is, it is good, sure not many go to Lansdowne mall if you don't really have anything else to do (due to the shopping choices of the mall) but if you are wanting their individual pieces like the favorite Napolean cake, it's there, with all their other signature cakes. A good thing with being in the mall is that you can actually eat the stuff in the mall and get a coffee at the food court if not another vendor. So why this place gets a bad rap I have no clue, but if you are living in Richmond and do not want to cross the bridge to get this bakery, well then you gotta find parking at the mall and walk in.

The Mango Cake slice was overly sweet and the sweetness from the glaze overwhelmed the fresh taste…read moreof mangoes. It did not taste good anymore because they put too much glaze for the cake slice. The sweetness needs to be appropriate for the cakes to taste good. The Mango pudding was worse - it was tasteless with sour strawberries on top. You could not taste mangoes in the pudding; it tasted watery. Also, they should put mangoes on top of the mango pudding instead of strawberries. This is not a strawberry pudding. Regarding the service, the server asked me if I wanted to put the two items together in a small box. She should give me a bigger box instead because the two items did not fit inside the small box. Therefore, the cream of the cake slice mashed into the box and the cake slice was ruined. Then she told the cashier 'with tax.' It was odd for her to say that because everyone knows that there was tax for the products. Usually, the server would give the purchases to the cashier and the cashier would give the purchases to customers on the cashier counter. But the server told us to go to the fridge counter and she gave us the small box there and said, "There was no handle on the box so be careful when you carry it." She should not make customers walk over to her (it was more difficult to take the purchases over the fridge counter), and she did not need to say that because we could see that there was no handle on the box. Usually, the staff would say 'thank you' when they handed the purchases to customers. She was trying to make us look stupid. Moreover, the cashier just put down the receipt on the counter instead of handing it to us and without saying 'thank you.' Their quality of products and service used to be okay, and they had more selection as well in the past. Who would go to this bakery now besides their friends and relatives?

Lobster Fest is available at this location for $19 before tax and it comes with a lobster bisque…read more The freshness is decent but the lobster roll is slightly lacking in lobster taste... Good efficient service at this location and the biggest con of buying the lobster roll here would be there's no space for dining in. The options are limited to trekking to the food court upstairs in Richmond Centre, walking to your parked car and eat or heading home quickly in order to enjoy their lobster roll warm. I would recommend enjoying the lobster roll warm as it's more yummy and it's refreshing to add some lemon juice to the warm lobster roll. Ambiance at this location is typical of the Chinese bakeries in town. Grab a tray for convenience if you are buying more than 5 items and be patient if there's a line up. There isn't a specific pastry item or baked item that I usually buy from St Germaine besides the lobster roll because the overall taste of their buns are on the sweeter side and I mostly buy savory flavored buns or items like the sesame pastry. Their mango cakes seem to get a lot of compliments and the pineapple buns are quite popular. St Germaine is good at making Cantonese pastries with different variations. It's nice that they keep the menu interesting so one can often find something new to try.

This is the place to go for old school HK bakery items that won't break the bank. True to the very…read morefaded price list out front, the prices remain reasonable. Counter service, in and out type of place. Displayed in standard bakery style cases are your HK bakery staples, some breads, and Western style baked goods. Place is big enough to fit a comfortable 6-7 people. No muss no fuss. Cash only & nothing to fault service on. They do package in brown paper bags only so i'd recommend bringing an old cake box or the like if you're planning to scoop up more than a few items as the bags do get oily from the butter/oils from the baked goods. Free parking on Hastings and some side streets. Food wise- only tried their pineapple bun & egg tart. It's $1 each, no tax. Both tastes fine. No major faults. Hope the pricing remains the same. I did wish that overwhelming baked goods smell would be present but maybe I didn't come early enough.

Growing up in a Chinese family, bakeries like Maxim's is a staple for birthdays. I think went…read morethrough the entire cake menu at least once every year. In Vancouver, it's easy to get caught up chasing the newest "it" spot but a recent stroll through Metrotown reminded me of why classics endure. I couldn't believe it was only $3.25 compared to the pricier and smaller portions at other bakeries. I got a slice of coffee cake and it was exactly as I remembered: pillowy soft sponge with perfect light cream. Sometimes "tried and true" spots are the best because they never let you down. And yes, I inhaled entire thing on a bench outside the shop.

There's a reason I'm giving these guys 4 *'s…read more Pricing. Hear me out. I don't eat this type of stuff on any kind of a regular baisis. Period. I don't really care about the small nuances in taste, texture, etc, etc... I'm basically in and out. I get what I want and I leave. First impressions. Family run and it's basic. No frills, Canto style. Duct tape on the air-con blower that was some beat up non descript unit. Canola oil all over the place. Depending on what you're looking for, these guys win on price, but maybe not in terms of what I mention above - taste, texture, etc, etc. I ended up getting a bunch of stuff. Pineapple buns, wiener buns, and a small baked tapioca pudding. The wiener bun was very "average", meaning nothing special and nothing great, That said, it was less than $2 each. The baked tapioca pudding 6", $6.50. I knew what I was getting into, the moment I walked in. It's a bit of a hole in the wall. It's not pretty, atmosphere wise, in any sense of the word. All of their products are not in the display case, so you may need to ask for it. Auntie was reasonably friendly to me. Cash only. Parking available on side street. 揮春 plastered all over the place. Recommended for cheap Asian baked goods.
