One of the best Chinese bakeries with buns. BBQ buns here are amazing. Not stingy at all with the meat. Just get your buns here if you’re at pmall. A bit pricey but if you have brother bakery gift certificates, it makes for a great haul.

This bakery is okay. They have tasty, fresh fruit tarts for $ 2 each. I used to come here a lot for the buns but more often than not, they would be very doughy and undercooked at the bottom under the filling.

This place has 50% off all bakery items after 5 pm! It’s an amazing deal, from 50 – 80 cents each!

This is the first time I am writing a review in Unilocal,and the first time also visited this place. I bought 6 buns and a Swiss roll. I notice they had a sealer and they already put all the buns in bags, so I asked the lady to seal them for me. She said they don’t seal for 6 buns, if you want you can wait till the line is over. The line was not that long(only 2 or 3 people behind me) and it was their own fault for having a line(2 ladies can’t help one guy to buy a few cakes???). I tried the buns, and they are good, but I don’t think I would go back for that kind of service. What I want to know is, is 6 buns too many to seal, or too little?! I am so confused at her comment. I use to work in a bakery, and I was all alone at times and have a lineup of 10 or more people. I seal every single bun if they asked and will not refuse the customer. I would not tell the customer to lineup again. And yes, I worked at a Chinese bakery, and just because it is a Chinese place doesn’t mean it can have crappy service like that. No thanks, I will not return I rather go to Windsor bakery in Market Village.

I know this bakery has been around forever and they’ve always been a bit pricier than the competition. However, I think it’s worth it as they taste like old school authentic Chinese buns with lots of filling, the stuff I grew up with and not the«little bit of filing» in bread buns these days. We bought 3BBQ pork buns and a mixed loaf of 6 mini buns for $ 6.60. The BBQ pork buns were delicious and had so much meat in them, that I struggled to pick them up. As for the mixed loaf, it was pretty good too. They were nice and buttery. Overall, this is a great bakery, but unfortunately loses one star for the price as a lot of the buns are $ 1.30 to $ 1.50 and you get those for about $ 0.80 to $ 1.00 anywhere else. Still, if you rarely go to this area(and I rarely go nowadays), it’s a nice little treat.

This is my go to Chinese bakery as I’ve going for years. Family owned and run. Always consistent in quality. Some of my favorites include Crunchy BBQ Pork Bun, Curry Beef Puffs, Apricot Jam Bun and BBQ Pork Pastry. Their cakes are very light and delicious. After 5pm all buns and pastries are 40% off but there’s a big rush around then.

One of my regular bakery spots in Markham. I love the quality and variety. They also serve HK style milk tea, coffee and«yin yang»(HK style milk tea mixed with coffee). I recommend the milk tea as you can tell it is fresh and also very smooth. It definitely reminds me of Hong Kong. This bakery also has a few tables where you can buy their goodies and a drink for a quick sit-down snack time. My yummy bun recommendations would be their pineapple pastry bun with apricot jam inside– they don’t sell this at a lot of Chinese bakeries so it’s a must try! I also really like their regular pineapple bun, pineapple bun with coconut filling, mexican bun and their egg tarts! The egg tarts are so good! Also do keep in mind that they have a discount after 5pm but I still make a visit as I don’t live in the area. The location is also very convenient as it is located right across from Pacific mall, so do definitely try this place out!

Huge Buns! Good Quality! Brothers Bakery has really solid product. Nothing really fancy here or fusion but just traditional Chinese baked goods that I grown up with. Family owned and operated. A lot of regulars coming in just to buy their products or hanging out at the few tables set up in the front of the store. Egg Tart and Milk Tea both decent and for $ 2.15, great as an afternoon snack. 40% off all buns after 5 pm.

Quality Chinese buns, pastries, and cakes in Markham. I’ve been going to this family-owned bakery ever since they have opened LONG time ago — still a very busy location across from Pacific Mall. Lots of variety to choose from and they often have their own twists on their products(ie. Peanut Butter Pineapple Bun… it’s shaped(sorta) like a peanut and it is very tasty!) Service is always quick and courteous, no long line ups! They also have seating area where you can sit down and enjoy a bun or two, and they serve hot/cold beverages as well. Ooo and tax-fee if you buy 6 or more buns/pastries :) Some of my all time favourites: Barbecue Pork bun — stuffed up LOTS of barbecue pork, good bun/pork ratio lol. Plain/Sesame-topped buns — so soft and chewy, I can eat this all day. Peanut Butter Pineapple bun — came out probably 10 years ago, and still loving it, plus I’m a huge peanut butter fan: D Overall, 5 stars — absolutely amazing — fresh, delicious, and products are always available! #loyalcustomer

This chinese bakery has been around for a long time. It’s outside of pacific mall and beside the bank. I would have to say having to try so much chinese bakeries because it is so common. This is one of my favourite bakeries to go to. There are reasons they have been able to stay open for so long. The quality of products has stayed the same throughout the years which I find very difficult for chinese business to keep. Usually, when the business gets better the quality will drop. Not for this place! The whole family works here thats probably the reason why they can continue to keep the quality so well. The old guy(the boss) has a nice attitude and keeps on smiling at all the customers. I simply love the butter egg tarts from this place. It is soooo goood. The tuna is also another favourite of mine because you don’t need to eat ¾ of the bun before you can actually taste the tuna and its real tuna. The tuna sandwich has not been overwhelmed by the mayo like most places to save on the tuna, I guess cuz cans of tuna nowadays are getting more expensive. On to the milk tea, quality milk tea no matter hot or cold. They use Carnation milk instead of the other cheap brand. They once changed to cheaper brand but I totally told the boss more than once that the quality taste so much different. After awhile, I guess I was not the only one telling them. They went back to using Carnation milk. All in all, I would go out of my way to come here when I really crave for an egg tart with good milk tea. I live a further up north but I will still come.

I never really noticed this place until I went to Pacific Mall with my friend and he mentioned that this place has the best BBQ pork pastry. The store itself is outside of Pacific Mall in the strip of stores along Kennedy road. It’s unassuming, simple, bare bones décor Chinese bakery. The kind I’m used to going to growing up. The prices are standard as all the buns hover around the $ 1 price point. The BBQ pork pastry itself was $ 1.30 each. The pastry itself was thick and had a flakey top and was a bit doughy towards the centre. My friend liked it but I prefer thinner & flakier pastry. The pork was delicious — moist and full of flavour with few fatty pieces. I will have to come back to try the other buns.
