Friendly service from this small bakery owned and operated by a husband and wife. They made me a 3 layered white cake with fruit and whipped topping while I waited, which took about 15 minutes. A 9 inch round cake cost $35, which is cheaper than at T&T (T&T charges $34 for an 8 inch round). The cake had a fine, moist crumb, and the sweetness was just right--not too sweet, just sweet enough. I deducted one star from the rating because I felt like they could've used more whipped topping, and I'm pretty sure that the fruit used in the layer filling was from a can. Also, the writing on the cake was not very professionally done. But it was still all DELICIOUS, and I'm happy that I found this bakery. Other items available included a triangular apple strawberry pie ($1.99) which I was tempted to try but managed to resist. Egg tarts were $1.29 (or 6 for $6.60). I also saw the usual assortment of hot dog rolls, BBQ pork buns, and some traditional black bean or red bean pastries. Cash payment only. The location of this bakery is tricky to find. It is near an ethnic supermarket at the back of the mall, down a very short hallway, . The hallway looks like it leads only to an exit, but this bakery is tucked on one side of the hallway. Worth a visit! Support this very small business! Highly...
Read moreI was really happy upon finding this small bakery because while Chinese Cake shops are commonplace in Toronto, they're a rarity outside of its Chinatown. Imagine my surprise when it turned out the buns Happy Cake House sells are just as good as the Chinatown bakeries. The selection is obviously not as wide, but they have all the standard sweet and savoury buns you would find at a typical bakery. The pricing is also very fair and you get a lot of bang for your buck. I haven't tried their cakes or bubble tea yet, but they also look very good. My photo was taken on a Too Good To Go bag and you get so much food it's great. The owner, a sweet old lady, is always smiling and will be happy to give the best service too.

Read moreStumbled upon this place while driving through Mississauga. Wanted to bring some Chinese pastries to my parents and reviews were good so we thought we would give it a try. Very hard to find in a plaza beside a grocery store but down a tiny hallway exit. It was 10:15am and the buns were coming out fresh. Grabbed 2 boxes and they were fantastic! Bread was so soft and fluffy, buns were large with lots of filling. Prices were great, all about 1.59. Cash only but they’ll accept e-transfer. Whole family was impressed and gobbled them up. Will definitely hit them up again if in the area. Actually good enough to go...
