Bakery Gateau

What really earns them their 5 stars is the unique variety of baked goods you’ll find here! Don’t get me wrong, other than the variety, the buns themselves are good! Or at least all the ones I have tried lol.
I was skeptical about cheese with red bean but it turned out to be a rather good combination. It’s cream cheese so it is a sweet and salty bun.
I love the sweet potato cream bun. Sweet potato flavor is subtle and the bun is really really soft. They have a green tea and regular cream version too.
I tried the peanut crunch one and my bf was a big fan but I felt like it wasn’t quite crunchy enough so it came off as a stale sort of crispy to me. The cream in the middle is just regular white cream, not flavored. I’m not a fan of it but it wasn’t bad overall.
Would definitely go back to try a few other things! Worth a visit!

One of my favorite bakeries! This bakery is inside Galleria Supermarket but is a store of its own. Everyday they offer a huge selection of buns. Although this location has less selection than the store at Yonge and Steeles.
But when it comes to flavor and quality of the goods, both locations are EXCELLENT!
I have tried the sausage donut ($ 2), the sugar twist donut ($ 1.80), the cream cheese bun ($ 2) and the red bean and cream cheese bun ($ 2). I recommend all of them and I think that whichever bun you choose you will not be disappointed. This bakery has better-​tasting buns than a typical chinese bakery.
If you choose one of the cream-​filled donuts/​buns you will find that they are packed with cream and very sweet!
They do not accept the Galleria points card, by the way.

My first patbingsu!
Bakery Gâteau is located inside of Galleria (as in the Korean supermarket). It is its own store though, and has its own store listing.
I’ve been waiting a year to try patbingsu here (yeah. One too many k-​dramas). They only have it in the summer (seasonal). Patbingsu is shaved ice topped with things like red bean, fruit, condensed milk, etc. Bakery Gâteau’s comes in three different types (red bean — $ 7.50, fresh fruit — $ 8.00, and green tea — $ 8.00). Yeah. For something I’d like to call a big, glorified, Asian snow cone, it’s quite expensive.
I ordered the red bean one (I should have ordered green tea, but I didn’t read the menu correctly). I’m not a fan of red bean. After tax, it was about $ 8.50. It serves about two. The ice is shaved to order. It is then topped with condensed milk (and/​or evaporated milk. She put two milky substances in there), red bean paste (lots of it), a few spoonfuls of canned fruit, a few fresh blueberries and a few fresh strawberry quarters (washed and cut to order). The red bean paste was quite chunky. It’s darker colored than its Chinese counterpart. It’s also considerably thicker. It’s more bean paste and less bean sauce. What I mean is that this was more of a chunky mashed potato consistency, whereas the Chinese version on shaved ice is usually more whole or half beans in a syrupy consistency. It was slightly difficult to mix together. Taste-​wise, it wasn’t my favorite thing in the world, but it was definitely not as unpleasant as I thought it was going to be (much less red bean regret than I thought). It was very refreshing.
Maybe I’ll come again for their green tea one… if I can wrap my head around the price.
