Love this place! Smells just like bakeries are supposed to smell and offers lots of delicious pastries. I try not to stop by too often, because their pastries are just too hard to resist and to easy to eat! The people that work here are friendly and service minded, and their prices are reasonable.

Interesting, to say the least, but I don't mean "interesting" in the slightly-veiled-cruelty-euphemistic sense. I'm not very familiar with Asian sweets, so Hong Kong Bakery is a good intro to this dessert universe. The Chinese long doughnuts are quite a treat and the red bean cakes are, for lack of a better word, interesting. The sticky rice packets are attractively wrapped in banana leaves and the lady at the counter will warm them up for you if you want to eat it at one of the tables near the window. The bubble tea was a letdown, though, since it tasted mainly of powder and there wasn't much of a difference in flavour between peach and mango.

You want sweets. This place has it. now its not just your ordinary sweets, its Chinese desserts and some western desserts with a bit of chinese influence...or vice versa however you want to look at it.
They have cheesecakes, cakes, rolls, pastries, chocolate, fruit cake, baked goods. They do wedding cakes, birthday cakes, anniversary cakes, cakes to eat all to yourself. Anything if everything.
They do specialize in steam glutenous rice cakes. This i remember eatting growing up...heat it up a lil bit and add some butter giving it that lil sweet and salty taste mmm.
I also tried this awesome dessert its banana roll. Its similar in texture, its like a jelly roll with either cantaloupe filling or honey dew filling filling. This roll is then doused in coconut flakes like a snow ball. That is a lil bite of heaven.
Mom would buy the mocha roll which is good with a nice lite coffee.
This place also has a restaurant if you go up a few steps. Here I tried noodle soup with won tons. Also good here is congee...mmm...and i know this place has the long donut rice roll!!! not like some places (Sam Wok) Hehehe...just kidding...no really, Sam Wok, you need to have the Long donut Rice Roll added back to your menu... -

The smells of baked goods waft into my senses as I enter Hong Kong Bakery. I am faced with an attractive selection of Asian baked goods like different kinds of cookies, buns, and cakes. Hong Kong Bakery is smaller than Garden Bakery, also in Chinatown, and carries many of the same items. However, the store is a lot more laid back, and locate don the main strip of Chinatown, so I can sometimes access it more conveniently when I am walking through the area and just have to have a chopstick doughnut or other Asian treat.

Hong Kong Bakery, loaded up at whatever appealed to my senses, so come here when you're not hungry or go wild and stock up. Remember to buy small and eat it fresh. Being a visitor, I only made one visit.

The Hong Kong bakery has been a favourite of mine for years now. I like going down there on a hot summer day and getting some of their yummy mango ice cream. When the budget was tight, I loaded up on Chinese buns stuffed with bbq pork. I learned they taste much better fresh than frozen then thawed. And you can eat too many of these! Now I like the sweets better from here. They make amazing sesame balls filled with red bean paste and my boyfriend just introduced me to their custard buns, which are so good it's hard not to keep eating them. They also have egg tarts that are exquisitely fresh. There are still a lot of cakes and sweets I haven't tried from here, but I plan to make many trips back. The Hong Kong Bakery is the best place to get baked goods in China town.
