Top Chinese bakerys in Toronto, Canada

As tourist, once we saw the roasted ducks hanging we knew this was the place we wanted to eat.

Really enjoy the experience to eat at a place where I know nothing about the menu, ask the server for suggestions and then we were pleasantly delighted.

Would definitely come back!

I don’t like talking bad about a restaurant that has my home country in the name. January 7/24- this place was just me and this other rude customer and we still waited around 20 minutes for our foods so service isn’t good. What made it worse is a new customer came in and waited 5 minutes and got food. This place is cash only unless you want to pay 1.50 extra. The final push was I got hot water instead of green tea which I ordered. The lighting was good cause I came before noon and the Cantonese doughnuts tasted delicious!

CASH only beware! That being said, their pastries are super fresh and delicious. Egg tarts, coconut pineapple buns, coconut buns, green onion pancake, are amazing. I would not get their dim sum though, there are better options up north like Juicy Dumpling or Sky Dragon. Dining area can be messy sometimes but for the price, can't be beat!

This was recommended to me as a cheaper alternative to juicy dumplings, but my goodness is this place awful.

The dumplings are made fresh... sure, but they lack flavour, seasoning and juiciness (isn't that the whole point?).

They also don't accept card, it's cash only.

They also sell other items that I didn't try, but with what I saw. I don't think it's worth the try to be honest.

First off, I wish I had photos. I must remember to take some the next time I'm there. If you're looking for fresh Chinese buns and you happen to be at the Spadina Dundas Chinatown, you have to give Mashion Bakery a try. Located on Spadina, just a tad north of Dundas, the exterior is unassuming and you might just walk past without giving it a second thought. Hold your horses right there and step inside.

You won't be disappointed by their variety and prices. My last haul - I picked up some steamed pork and veggie buns (3 in a pack), red bean mochi balls (4 in a pack, generous and hefty), deep fried pork dumplings (3 in a pack, with a crunchy brown exterior and still warm!), BBQ pork buns, Pineapple buns, Coconut buns, and more. A bit over the top, I know, but I had to get enough to share with the rest of the family!

Prices were very affordable and the sizes of most of the buns are generous. The BBQ pork bun is on the smaller size but the filling was delicious, signature, and comparable to the price I paid, so for me, that was a good deal.

I appreciate that buns were wrapped and place appeared clean. There was a steady ongoing flow of customers who, like me, were piling on the buns to their trays!

If you go to Mashion Bakery, you'll see a variety of baked and steamed Chinese buns, some deep fried treats as well as a smaller selection of sliced sweet cakes and boxed Chinese cookies as well as signature Chinese pastries.

You see, now I want to take a trip downtown to pick me up some buns!

The staff was very friendly and welcoming. Prices are very low compared to other bakeries. And buns taste amazing! Definitely recommend

We managed to stop by this place to grab a quick bite for teatime. There were so many choices of freshly baked pastries, bread and buns. We ordered a Pineapple Bun, an icy cold Taro Slush with Tapioca Pearls and some Pan Fried Dumplings 🥟. All tasted delicious!!

Always a great place for a quick cheap breakfast or lunch. The buns are always yummy and they serve HK milk tea and coffee. This time they also had the lotus leave rice with chicken which are favorite. Ended up eating two caused they were so good. Seating is limited but people are usually quick with their meals. Prices are reasonable but due to inflation are unfortunately more (about a dollar a bun where they were like two for buck dollar back before the pandemic days). Still a great place for a cheap eat though.

My go to Chinese Bakery shop.

The egg tarts are soft and delicious. Must try.

This Chinese bakery is located downstairs near the Atrium food court (in the mall across the road from the Eaton center).

They have all the main types of buns and some dim sum too. The pineapple read bean bun I got was ok, not the most fresh. The dim sum looked really old like it was sitting there all day.

They accept credit card.

There's lots of seating right outside the bakery.

Delicious looking steamed and baked buns at reasonable prices (eg $3.75 for a bag of 3 giant veggie and pork buns), but you need cash! They have a $15 minimum for debit purchases and don't look like they take credit cards at all.

Great food. Decent prices. Freshly prepared. But.... and there's always a but.. unfriendly workers. Smile a bit, man. Ur face makes the food tastes bad even if it looks good.

this must be the only place that still sells pineapple buns for 80 cents!! All their buns are pretty cheap compared to other Chinese bakeries these days. I only really like the original pineapple bun here as the filling in the other ones are not the best.

My favourite bakery in Chinatown. I come here for the veggie spring rolls and red bean buns. I like the fact that the baked goods are individually wrapped.

Prices are also very reasonable!

The bakeries offer delicious treats at really affordable prices. We grabbed Chinese doughnuts, custard-filled pineapple bun, and savory egg yolk pastries – all really well-made and tasty.

However, the breakfast we ordered didn't quite match the pictures. It wasn't terrible, but not exceptionally good either. The preserved meat and egg on rice were pretty dry and tough, same goes for the meat. The fried buns looked nothing like the picture. On the plus side, the fried dough tasted good. As for the Hong Kong milk tea, it was a bit too light, lacking the robust tea or milk flavor.

just ok, there are definitely better but also worse chinese bakeries in the city. very small bakery with very little selection. it will get the job done if you are looking to be full for $2.25/bun.

Friendly family bakery, their stuff is super fresh ( at least the buns we've bought so far). My fave is pineapple red bean, but today it was hollow
What happened? It's still deliciousbthough.
Coconut bread and steam red bean buns are good too
Ok, everything so far is good 👍🏻 😋🤣

Prices are good

Fantastic little bakery on Dundas West in the heart of Chinatown! I stopped in on a whim and bought a variety of buns to try. Each one tasted wonderfully fresh, moist and fluffy. My personal favourites were the curry bun which was very rich with flavour, as well as the pineapple bun, which had an excellent crumbly top that tasted heavenly. Note that they only accept cash here, but the prices are VERY reasonable and I was able to afford half a dozen buns for fewer than $8. I’ll definitely be stopping by here again on my next visit to Toronto so I can try more of their selection!

I appreciate how the cakes and pastries are neatly wrapped. Most Asian bakeries use this self-select system, and wrapping them reduces handling. The pastries taste good too.

Cash-only, great on the pocket bakery. They have a bunch of things on offer and it tastes good. My go-to purchases usually are the cheesecakes. The cookies are good too.

Good selection, very affordable but only accepts cash

Small, super affordable Chinese bakery with a good selection of baked goods and foods. I loved the Sesame Rice Balls and went back every day while in Toronto. There are tables to eat in, but really no atmosphere to speak of, so we just did the grab-and-go. Be aware that they do ONLY accept cash!

I had the breakfast deal. One (curried) veggie bun, cinnamon roll and a milk tea for 6.25 (including taxes) on a Sunday morning. The milk tea was great, just the way I like it. I am sure this is not for everybody but please don't expect this to be that French bakery where you had to pay 10 bucks for an average croissant and instagrammability!

The great MASHION BAKERY on the East side of Spadina Avenue just North of Baldwin is an in-house bakery that produces a store of full of delicious Chinese pastries, pies & cookies to satisfy any sweet tooth craving as well as meat filled savoury buns. They have taken the COVID pandemic seriously and all items are packaged in a clear packet. The attached pictures gives a view of their sweet offerings - with my favourites being the red bean paste buns and the almond cookies. Yumm!

Solid Hong Kong style Chinese bakery with less common items like chicken biscuit. I like to grab their bbq pork pineapple bun (no actual pineapple) first thing in the morning before grocery shopping. Needs a quick oven refresh if you buy later in the day. Serviceable eats and convenient location keeps this in my regular rotation.

i tried the 蛋黃蓮蓉酥 and it was so delicious and tasty. The saltiness of the egg yolk combined with the sweetness and thickness of the lotus filling is just perfect. The filling is well and the flakiness is on point. Make sure to come early as things run out quickly, I came here and this was one of the few things left. It was around $3.5 but it was SO worth it, definitely an experience. The customer service is good. They offer napkins and bags. These are a good price as a pack of 3 almond cookies or 杏仁餅 are only $3 whereas in other bakeries it is more expensive. I will definitely return for another visit

Picked up 3 buns for $6 around noon & they were fresh and still warm.

Found this gem by a mere accident and I’m very proud of myself I did.
They offer impressively delicious buns and pastries at prices you wouldn’t see anywhere else, especially at the times like this.
They take cash and debit.
The staff is quiet and friendly!

Price is cheaper than many other Asian bakeries!! Tried the pineapple red bean bun, coconut tart and egg tart, they are all above average! Not bad, I will definitely come back and try other buns!

I've loved this place for years, the pork buns are on point and at a lovely price (as is everything here). Havent been around the downtown area recently due to COVID but i am super glad theyre still open! Had 6 pork siu mai for $7.50 and they were fresh and excellent for the price. Staff is very kind as well and the building the store is located in is nice and quiet compared to the constant racket outside and over at Eatons.

Also, took the picture a bit late, down to my last 2 siu mai.

Best snacks on the go!

Buns are staled NOT fresh at least 3 days this location still selling it!
1) almond flakes taste oily and bad.
2) bun is not shinny anymore
3) flaky started to fall apart
3) very expensive $2 per staled bun
DO NOT BUY! You will be sick once ate ! Worse than dog food!😢
Was good before pandemic i worked nearby. Now is terrible!!!👎👎👎

Bought tuna bun and garlic cheese bun from this store yesterday, and they are awful... We have purchased their bread at Agincourt before and it's the same quality. Can you find any tuna in the first picture? Also, the garlic cheese bun has nothing inside and only a small piece sticking to the surface. Not only that it has no filling, it tastes very plain.

You can cost more but please never lie to your customers. I am here to buy bread not white dough.

Love breakfast special, two buns and tea or coffee for just $4.50! Buns were delicious and cheap! Salty vegetable bun and sausage and cheese bun were great.... Hong Kong style milk tea also tastes good. Microwave for customers is nice service as well. Will definitely come again :)
