Strawberry chiffon cake
Susanna W.

You should order in advance if you want a specific cake with customizations. I ordered a strawberry chiffon cake for my sister in law's birthday through WeChat, where I had to fill in a google form and confirm pickup date and time. They have other cake options other than the ones on the website so doesn't hurt to ask. Customer service was super friendly and helpful. The cake was super light and creamy, with lots of strawberries. I'm looking forward to trying some of their seasonal cakes next time.

Mango taro pandan chiffon cake
Clara C.

I got their mango taro pandan chiffon cake with coconut cream and it was delicious! The pandan chiffon cake is extremely light, and it is layered with coconut cream, real taro and mango. The flavours are all really subtle and come together very nicely. The cake also came with 2 candles. I called a week prior to order the cake and was told that a preorder wasnt needed and they have cakes ready day of for walk in customers. However, when we called again a few days later to confirm, someone else picked up and we were told we needed to preorder and we couldnt pickup at the time we wanted. We ended up getting the cake for the day and time we wanted after a small hiccup, but its something to be aware of.

Mochanut -- December 2022 exclusive
Linda L.

It's a smaller location compared to their North York store, so the options for premade cakes are limited, but you can always pre-order all of their cakes. Parking is much better though since it's located at a decent size plaza. I got their December 2022 limited-time special Mochanut cake and it was incredible! It's a multi-layer chiffon cake made with mocha hazelnut cream, and topped with roasted hazelnuts, blueberries, and gingerbread. The cake is also super cute as well, totally IG worthy. We totally could smell its fragrance upon opening the box and the cake was so soft and fluffy. I like that the cream isn't overly dense and sweet and you can totally taste the mocha and hazelnut flavours. It's so good we devoured the whole cake in a day! 10/10 would recommend

I ordered a taro mochi cake a few days ahead, and about 30 minutes prior to picking it up, they told me to made a mistake and didn't have any left. They offered a yogurt mixed berry cake instead, and gave me $10 off for the trouble. I appreciated their effort and thought, but we weren't really a huge fan of the yogurt cake. The cake it meant to be sweet and sour, but tasted more sour than sweet. I do like "Asian not too sweet" cakes but this could definitely be a tad more sweet. There's also cereal inside the cake which was soggy and wasn't a fan of that. I do like how the chiffon tasted really fresh and soft. I want to try their taro mochi but they don't sell the smaller 4" version at this location.

Ordered recently a beautifully designed cake for my daughter's bday.Their specialty is in Chiffon cakes. A chiffon cake is a very light fluffy cake. There are a variety of cake fillings such as mango, strawberry and caramel. We got the Angel's Love Letter cake which was so pretty, tasty and a bit pricey for $150 but we got really beautiful bday photos so it was worth it! Most of their basic chiffon cakes (4" or 6") aren't that expensive ranging from $25 to $55. Since this was my first time, I don't have a favourite filling flavour yet but the mango filling that we got was pretty good. I've read other reviews and it looks like the Taro Mochi is a popular one so I will definitely be back to try this one.

Always order cake from this place. Specially cup cake for my daughter. She likes their Oreo cupcake as always. The service the good. Only thing this location is very small.

Mr. Right Oreo Cake
Shigei H.

I ordered 8" Mr. Right Oreo Cake for pre-birthday celebration for my husband with friends, decorations of the cake feature my husband's 3 vehicles. I ordered directly with the Richmond Hill branch rather than the CS hotline, Phoebe Cheung was excellent, she was amicable, polite and friendly. I paid $135 for this cake and didn't expect all decorations on top were only paper cut notes and logos, I was expecting something more sophisticated like fondant, otherwise just the cost of the sponge cake as $135 is too pricey! Nonetheless the cake was delivered in a transparent beautiful box and my husband and friends like the cake as it's light, fluffy, tasty and not overly sweet. I've previously tried their cakes and they are really tasty and they offer tailor-made cakes for special events. Although a bit expensive, I'll order for special event again.

I bought a mini layered chiffon cake set when they had their 2 day 50% off promotion. The staff handed out numbered tickets since there was only 45 of the cake sets available for this promotion. This is a much better system than customers lining up to wait and getting to the shop to find out if there were anymore cake sets available. One customer was allowed into the shop at a time to adhere to physical distancing since the shop is so small. There's a display case at the front of the shop and a counter on the wall but not much else. Only cash or debit was accepted. The transaction was quick since all the cake sets were already prepared. The cake set was well packaged with a handle to carry the box and had individual slots for the cakes so that they wouldn't move around during transportation. The mini cakes were layered with cake, cream, and fruit/cookie chunks, chocolate or whatever the flavour was. The flavours were strawberry chocolate crunch, Oreo sprinkles, taro mochi, mango chunks, chocolate crunch and caramel sea salt. I found the taste to be on the bland side. I don't like overly sweet things and this fell into the not sweet at all category. The cakes were airy and light and even though I'm not usually a fan of cream I liked the cream on these.

Custom Design Cake
Angel C.

I order my cakes with Vava every time! Ever since my 1st order with them that was conveniently placed via text, I've always returned for all my family's special occasions. Their packaging is on point, presentable, well thought out & even comes with cute cutlery/plates! Their chiffon based cake is always fluffy, soft, made fresh, and never too sweet. Everyone always enjoys it every time. I was extremely pleased with the most recent order that I placed last minute yesterday late afternoon & got to pick up the next day early afternoon. (It was also a custom design cake order too!) HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Fair pricing, high quality, tastes great, and extremely convenient to order with quick & friendly communication.

Vava Designer Cake from Richmond Hill location - 6 inch Taro Mochi cake
Vivian P.

I've recently purchased a 6 inch taro mochi chiffon cake at the Richmond Hill location on February 5, 2022. I've called and reserved the cake in advance. Overall, staff were friendly and helpful when taking my order. The main concern was the actual cake, it was totally disgusting. I've never tasted such terrible cake in my life. Another problem is when you peeled off that plastic wrap from the cake, it slanted. Presentation is not the main issues but the taste of the cake was absolutely horrible, we couldn't even eat it after one bite and had to put the whole cake to waste. We were very disappointed as it was a celebratory night. This was such an awful experience. Definitely not going to buy from this place ever again! Even the cakes from a normal supermarket like T&T would taste better than this one!

Original flavor chiffon cake
Calvin L.

Venturing to try a new dessert place, and we found VaVa. They had large cakes, sets of 6 cakes and fairly small Chiffon Cakes in the display case. The Chiffon cake came I either the original flavor or strawberry flavor, and it was light with a creamy filling. A bit pricey at $14, but worth trying!

Small cake, $25
Sophie T.

Picked up a small cake from here recently, it was delicious, just light and fluffy. A beautiful and elegant looking cake

Isabelle C.

Chiffon cakes were ok/ good. Not too sweet. Nothing stood out or was amazingly delicious.

Venue 4/5 Located in…read morea convenient plaza (Commerce Gate) with lots of parking it's easy to pop in without circling for a spot. There are a few tables and chairs to sit down to eat or a quick stop for a drink. Service 5/5 The staff were very friendly and helpful. They walked through the options they had and were patient with questions. I really appreciated being able to sample some of the bread before deciding. It made the experience feel welcoming and relaxed. Food 4/5 There's plenty of choices on the menu and everything tasted freshly made flavours are solid and satisfying, and the ability to try samples first helped narrow down what to order. Would definitely come back to try more items. Just keep in mind that some products would be sold out later on in the day, so try to come early in the afternoon if you want to see everything. I had the yuzu and they also have matcha and red bean buns

Tip: Bun Appetit is around the corner from Kinton Ramen in Commerce Gate plaza…read more A recent Yelp tasting event introduced me to Bun Appetit and its baked goods. I bought a couple of buns as a customer since then and I'm hooked! Bun Appetit is located at Commerce Gate. It's located closer to Highway 7. It's around the corner from Kinton Ramen, which I have been to a handful of times during the pandemic to pick up good eats. I found a parking spot steps away from Bun Appetit on a Wednesday evening at around 6:15 pm and backed in to it. It's easier to find parking when it's a weekday, in the afternoon. Bun Appetit's breads are naturally fermented for 168 hours. I liked that all buns and breads are gut-friendly and low on the glycemic index. I'm always interested in lower sugar options. I have sampled these items: - Baguette - Whole wheat walnut vegan bun - Lychee bun - Raisin earl grey bun - Oreo chocolate delight bun - Matcha pistachio pretzel - Whole wheat German pretzel - Yeast loaf with Nutella They were all delicious. They were soft and airy. My favourites were the whole wheat walnut vegan bun and the Oreo chocolate delight bun (also known as the messy hands bun). The former had whole walnuts that were so crunchy and fresh. The bread was chewy and soft. The messy hands bun used dark chocolate. It was also fluffy and soft. It lived up to its name. I had messy fingers just eating a morsel! It has 9 g of sugar, which is practically nothing being fermented. I liked how unique the flavours were. I loved the smell of the lychee bun. I wish it had lychee pieces in it. Instead, it was wine-infused and that flavour overpowered everything. I loved the yeast loaf with Nutella as a dessert option. I nearly picked up a loaf after this event was over! As a parting snack, I got the truffle mushroom one. It was the last one. I love mushrooms. It was super delicious with truffle oil, enoki mushrooms, spinach, garlic, and melted cheeses on top. The bun was soft and perfect. It was such a gourmet bun. I have since returned to get more buns: - Strawberry beetroot - Chocolate arancia The strawberry beetroot bun was fluffy. I decided to cut it in half. To my surprise and joy, it had whole strawberries in it. Wow and yay! I love fruit, but I wasn't expecting so much of it in this bun. I loved it. It was naturally sweet from the strawberries. The beetroot wasn't noticeable in flavour. I feel it added colour to the triangular bun more than anything. The chocolate arancia was equally as unique slicing it in half. This bun had candied orange bits in it. It tasted so good with the chocolate morsels on top and the subtle chocolate flavour in the bun itself. It was delicious. I need to return for more. I have found the buns of my dreams, which sounds odd and funny. It's all true! I paid with a credit card. You can register your phone number to collect points towards goodies. I'll be back. (185)

Can't come to Canada without getting some Tim Horton! It's 6pm and I'm soooo sleepy I can fall…read moreasleep standing up so when our hotel is literally walking distance to T.H., it is screaming my name in my head to come get some and so I did. I got the white chocolate pistachio latte and chocolate coconut donut and it was out of this world. My kid really enjoyed his double chocolate donut and his chocolate croissant. The girl behind the counter was super nice since they were out of the double chocolate, she put some in for my son immediately. Cute little place and I even bought some peppermint tea to bring home! Yum!

Thanks to my previous hair stylist ranting and raving about Tim Hortons coffee every time I went…read morefor a visit.I decided that if I ever went to Canada, I would seek out this magical place that has coffee from the gods! Fast forward a few years and I found myself at a hotel in Toronto Canada, with a Tim Hortons next to it. I literally heard angels singing " Hallelujah " and decided it was fate. The next morning, I decided to wake up and sauntered over to T.H's and ordered a breakfast Sandwich ( with bacon, cheese, egg) on a toasted bagel and added apple juice. Day 1. Day two, I got creative and substituted the bagel for a croissant, and added blueberry muffin and you guessed it" chocolate croissant " warmed. Let me tell you this, I understand now what my hair stylist and T.H fairy godmother was talking about. Interestingly, there seems to be a Tim Hortons just about every other mile . I guess they are franchises and independently owned: not sure. It's on the same page as Starbucks being on every corner. I even got my picky sister on board with T.H as she ordered a donut and hash browns. So, I'm liking you Tim Hortons . Will visit again when in the area. Thank you for satisfying my morning coffee and breakfast cravings. Until Next time. Protip: add the Tim Hortons canada app and you will be able to unlock rewards and add points towards each purchase to unlock something ( rewards) for you.
