Best Bakery in Canada

T	T. on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Returned to this small bakery recently and got their wife cakes which they are known for. Great pastry and filling as always. Their buns are smaller than most bakeries which isn't a problem when you know what to expect. There's a large selection of baked goods and everything is freshly made and it's great to see the same happy faces working there. It is a small shop so you will probably have to line up outside for a short while.
A	A H on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A must-stop destination every time I go to that neighbourhood. The photos shows (from 12 o'clock clockwise): Swiss roll-type cream cakes in mango, black sesame, mocha (sumptuous!!!) and green tea with red beans (a bit disappointed). These are small, about six inches long. I like to get several flavours so family and friends can choose. Love their baked black sesame buns and "Mexico" buns (with custard filling). Wife cakes also come in low sugar version and are tasty, no fake sugar after taste. Their ? buns are great, needless to say. Their buns are smaller than most of other Chinese bakeries but they are soft and fluffy, not too doughy. With Covid, only one customer is allowed in this tiny shop at a time.
J	Jackson Chan on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Visited on Sunday. Egg tarts, pineapple buns, wife cakes are all freshly out just before 10am. Wife cake is quite filling. Egg tarts are good. Wished paper bags was available for packing. It would absorb some moisture from the freshly baked goods.
G	Gabriel Lam on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Best in town Lao Por Beng (wife cake), chewy, and you can choose less sweet or regular sweet. And most importantly they are freshly baked every day! They also have other traditional Chinese pastries (egg tart, sponge cake, century egg pastry). Always a line in front of the store, no matter what time of the day you're there!
b	bbt JC on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ One of my favourite places to get egg tart and an array of Asian baked goods. I waited over 15 minutes just to get into the shop on a Saturday afternoon so that gives you an indication of how popular their baked goods are.?? This time I bought their mango cheesecake to try it and am sooo glad I did. It is amazingly good! I am not a fan of traditional cheesecake. Even Japanese cheesecake I find is too cheesy. This one is perfect. Beautiful layers, fresh delicious fruit, and amazing flavour without it being too cheesy. It is not too big so you can enjoy it without a lot of left overs. Will definitely be buying it again the next time I’m in Scarborough. Another positive if this place is their baked goods the pineapple buns are smaller in size compared to other places which Is a perfect portion size for a snack, for kids or for elderly folk. The crusts on the egg tarts are flakey, light and not oily and the custard is just perfect. The “wife cake” is also the best there is in the GTA. I have tried to find a comparable one at about 2 dozen different bakeries and keep coming back up this one. They don’t skimp on the filling here and it’s the perfect amount of chewiness, sweetness and flavour. Every time I’m in the area I make it a point to stop my and get something from Fragrant Bakery. It’s definitely one of my happy places. ?
C	Cleung on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I am a egg tart lover and would visit different bakeries to try out their products. I recently realized that I have been going to the wrong store with the same name on Milliken Blvd so I made this trip to visit the original. I was surprised by the long line up as the store only allow 1 customer at a time. I waited 15 minutes to get in so I decided to buy more than planned, bought half a dozen of egg tarts, 6 variety buns and 2 sponge cakes @$1.80 each. The buns are 2.60 for 3, sizes are relatively small but the quality is amazing! The egg tarts are very good except the bottom of the crust is a little over cooked. I will definitely visit often!
L	L Mak on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The line up was long every time I went. I bought 老婆餅 wife pastry (sweet)，老公餅 husband pastry (salty) ，黑芝麻糯米糍 black sesame glutinous rice ball (custard inside) ($1.30 each)，花生糯米糍 peanut glutinous rice ball ($1.10 each)，芋頭糕 taro cake ($12, only available during Chinese New Year month). The shop is really small, only allow one person to be inside at a time. It's my first time trying their taro cake. I found it to be expensive but still want to try it. It's not bad. I prefer to have the white glutinous rice ball because it has lots of peanut inside.
K	K W on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ April 2022 4★ Located inside a small dusty strip mall, you'll find this old bakery. This bakery has been here for well over 25 years as of writing. Of course, nothing has changed and the interiors look exactly like it was back then. Many of the bakery items haven't changed much and you'll find the traditional Chinese items. One favorite is the egg white cake. 2 @ 15$. Light, fluffy and a little sweet, if you like angel food cake, this is the lighter and seemingly more healthy option. Parking available. A good selection. Would recommend if you are in the area.
