Akko Cake House

So nostalgic. Our family has been coming here since I was a kid. I remember Sunday afternoons after church we would all pile out the car and go in and get to pick whatever we wanted. As an adult I try to stop by whenever I’m in the area. It’s still so good! My favourites are the line buns, hotdog buns & raisin or coconut twists.

Most of the bread is usually sold out before closing time. When I visited just before 5 pm, there were only three cake options left. I decided to try the Mocha cake, which I had never tasted before. Despite expecting it to be among the cheapest options at $18, I was pleasantly surprised by its quality. Although I typically opt for chocolate, I thoroughly enjoyed the Mocha cake. I'll definitely be coming back for more soon! I like their non fried red bean bread. If you need to buy this red bean bread, it's better to go there before 10am.

best manhood cake I ever had. reminds me of the flavour when I was living back in HK. not sweet cake. just 👌 perfect!

I ordered a fresh mango cake for my mum's birthday and it was absolutely delicious and beautiful! It wasn't too sweet and the mango was perfectly ripe. Highly recommend placing an order in advance and picking up for special occasions.

Quality bakery for actually reasonable prices. Much better than downtown Toronto bakeries in quality.

Probably the best Chinese bakery I've ever been to. Their entire selection is delicious. Get there early before they're sold out!

I always buy the buns when I pass by that area because they are freshly made every day. 🥰 They sell out quite fast, especially on the weekends. They are perfect for breakfast and tea. Not only do they sell buns, but they also sell cake. My must-buy food is their cookie egg tarts, as I can't resist any egg tarts due to their crunchy crust. I also bought their garlic bun, curry chicken, and curry beef bun.😋

Akko Bakery is one of the best bakeries in Mississauga! Their quality is consistently excellent—whether it’s buns, bread, cakes, or pastries, both sweet and savory. My family loves everything they offer, and so far, there’s still nothing to complain about. We always enjoy their fresh and delicious baked goods!

I always buy the buns when I pass by that area because they are freshly made every day. They sell out quite fast, especially on the weekends. They are perfect for breakfast and tea. Not only do they sell buns, but they also sell cake and some cookies as well. My must-buy food is their cookie egg tarts, as I can't resist any egg tarts due to their crunchy crust. I also bought their garlic bun, curry chicken, and curry beef bun.

I placed an order for a cake on a Thursday for pickup on the weekend. (I'm not sure if they have a website of all their cakes or not, but I did go in to scout their options ahead of time to see what they had). It was a seamless ordering process and the prices were great for a very yummy cake; my order was a 9" mango mousse cake for only $33! Cakes aside, they also had a variety of savoury and sweet buns and pastries. They were also constantly filling up their shelves with new fresh ones as each customer was buying so many things at a time.

We have been going to Akko for Chinese buns and pastries for years. We have tried almost all their Chinese buns, a few of their Cakes, and even their Japanese Cheesecake. The buns are always fresh and if you arrive at the right time, they are still hot out of the oven. They have a large selection of the typical buns offered at other Chinese bakeries such as BBQ Pork, Beef, Curry, Egg and Ham, and Coconut (I don't want to list them all). We usually come on the weekends, which is busy, but they constantly re-stock the supply of buns. We have purchased their cakes from time to time for special occasions, which are also good and fresh. The selection is typical for what you find in most Chinese bakeries. It is difficult to describe, but Chinese cakes are a bit different than the European and North American cakes as they are usually topped with fruit, tend to be less sweet, and the icing, although creamy, is also less sweet. This is not a bad thing, just a general difference in Chinese vs Western style cakes. The service is quick and efficient. Even when the place is busy, we are never waiting in like to pay for more than a few minutes. I highly recommend this bakery for good fresh Chinese buns, pastries, and cakes. Tip: This a cash only place.

Love almost all the baked goods especially the Chinese cupcakes they make on Saturday and Sunday. I'm a mini coconut bun lover and have to attest they make a pretty tasty mini coconut tray especially when it's nice and warm. The open until 5pm bit be forewarned that they are out of most baked goods by 1:30-2:00. We also love their fruit cake (birthday cake). Very fresh and not too sweet.

The only bad thing about this place is that they run out of stuff fast. It's a testament to how good everything is.

Ok why haven't I come here before! This is a tiny cake house in a plaza by the Erindale go station. We stopped here after having dinner. We went in 30 mins before closing so a lot of the stuff was already sold out. We picked up a few items that were there - coconut tart, mini custard bun, butter roll, chocolate mousse, mango mousse, sponge cake. They actually give you 13% off if you get 6 or more items. Every pastry we tried was simply amazing. The sponge cake was my favourite- it was so moist and fluffy and amazing. I would love to come back in the morning when there is a full stock and try more items!!

VEGAN OPTIONS - I don't remember seeing any I came here on a mission for coconut buns, and this place did NOT disappoint! They have individual buns. They have trays of buns. They have bags of buns. They have the buns! I got a mango bun that was more bun, less filling. The pineapple custard bun was ok. But the coconut buns that I came for - they were *satisfying*!!! The filling was a great texture and was spread evenly allll the way through! Sometimes coconut buns only have a small amount of filling right in the middle, but the buns here had filling in every bite from end to end. The woman working the counter gave me great tips for freezing and reheating. I wanted to try the Japanese cake that everyone raves about, but they only sell it as a whole cake, and it was too much for me to take at that time. I will try it next time I come back though. And I will definitely be back for the coconut buns again!

This review is for their Japanese cheesecake. We came in at 8:30 AM just as soon as the Japanese cheesecakes were ready and fresh. We ordered 3 cheesecakes. Each is only $7. The cheesecake is delicious and not too sweet. Not as sweet as Uncle Tetsu. It is very rich and really filling. If I am craving Uncle Tetsu's would definitely just go here instead. I recommend trying out their japanese cheesecakes. This is a much cheaper alternative and bonus: you can get as many as you want! Review 29 of 100

***This review is primarily for Akko's version of Japanese cheesecake, made popular by places like Uncle Tetsu/Love Me Sweet.*** I've gone here for decades, but less often in the recent years well, because...eating sweet breads ain't the best for my waistline. Once in a while though, for breakfast/snack, it's ok! Anyway, based on a recommendation of a friend/Yelp reviews, I found out that Akko makes Japanese cheesecakes as well. A coupla weeks ago, I tried Love Me Sweet's (Markham) version. And I have had a piece of Uncle Tetsu's cheesecake months ago. Honestly, there wasn't much difference between Tetsu's Vs. LMS ($11, no limit). Both were light, fluffy, slightly cheesy. Tetsu has at least 2 flavours, while LMS has a coupla too, but the day/time I visited, there was only Original left. I don't know how much Tetsu's is 'cause I refuse to stand in that crazyass line, then be limited as to the number of cakes I can buy. All marketing hype, methinks, similar to when they pull out that velvet rope, and have some intimidating security guard outside a club! Akko's version? Only $7, no line whatsoever, although if they sell out, you may hafta wait for the second batch (what happened to me), only 1 flavour, same light 'n fluffy texture, BUT less sugary/cheesy. I actually didn't taste any/much cheesy. So the version you prefer really depends on your palate. Honestly, I think this is more than a solid replacement if you can't, or like me, refuse to jump through hoops to experience Uncle Tetsu's! Bakery seems to be family-run, only Chinese ladies are always replenishing the buns with hot ones, so why not support local?

I'd have to agree that this place is pricier than other Chinese bakeries in the GTA, but the straight-out-of-the-oven freshness of the pastries and buns make up for it. Be warned that it isn't a large bakery (selection is smaller than average), but what they do, they do decently. I've visited this place many times growing up, and they're always quite busy, especially on the weekends. My most recent visit was on a Saturday afternoon, and they had just restocked shelves of pastries that emptied out by lunchtime. I picked up a tray of warm coconut buns (soft and deliciously chewy) and a couple of large almond cookies ($1.00 each). They also have an assortment of other pastries that include chinese donuts, Japanese cheesecakes, egg tarts, fruit cakes, butter cookies, and a selection of buns. Overall, the selection is average, and presentation isn't the most organized, but whatever they do have is nice and fresh. Not a bad option for Chinese pastries and buns in Mississauga (close to Square One, and right beside Erindale GO station). There's ample parking, as it's located in a large plaza.

One of many Chinese bakeries in Mississauga, but perhaps the oldest one. Regulars flock here to get quality buns and cakes. It's consistently good and reliable. Only wished they were opened later and better stocked later.

It was better in the past. The cakes are lack of substance recently and the buns are not as good as before. The little cupcakes used to be my favourite, but they are not that attractive anymore. I was told that the bakery has changed hand and the baker is not the same as the original one. Maybe this is the reason. Will go there again to see if there is any improvement. Even not, the quality is not bad - at least the location is convenient.

BEWARE when you buy swiss rolls! Bought a coffee+vanilla swiss cake roll... Some issues I found: 1) the coffee section of the roll was so dense 2) the cake was definitely NOT fresh. *Also, the Napoleon cake roll was NOT fresh-tasting. Who knows how long that has been sitting there. It was dense + not crispy at all. They should have known better than to sell this cake roll. Dishonest. I think they should be transparent about when the cake was made by stamping on the ACTUAL date the cake was created on the box, otherwise no one would know how MANY DAYS the CAKE ROLL has been sitting there. Never will I go there again to buy cake rolls. Get them from TNT SUPERMARKET - 6 minute drive away.

We used to live in Mississauga & went to this bakery very often for their swiss rolls & their coconut buns. They were the best we have ever had. We now live on PEI & miss this bakery so much! Can't wait to do a road trip!

Picked a variety of baked goodies both savoury and sweet. As a quick little snack you cant go wrong with the hotdog bun, was decent, it hit the spot. We also picked up some egg tarts, pineapple buns and coconut peanut butter pastry. All were decent but not out of this world. Your average asian bakery, decently priced. We also ordered an assorted fruit birthday cake for my bfs sisters birthday. No issues, the cake was great and everyone enjoyed it. The family has ordered cakes from here before and have had good experiences.

The bakery food here is just off the hook. This place has been around for some time. They were doing Japanese cheese cake for a while now. Way before uncle tetsu came along. I actually prefer to get my japanese cheese cake fix here. No need to wait 2 hours and i prefer this one better. I also love their coconut riceballs with redbean inside! Food 5/5 Service 4/5 Convenience 5/5

The bakery is pretty typical to your average Asian bakery. Personally I have not really tried their breads, so I can't comment on anything in particular. I do, however, go for their freshly baked cheesecake - no it's not the creamy ones you get at restaurants... it's more like Japanese cheesecake or the pound cakes you bake at home. It has the appearance of a pound cake, feels light like angel food cake, spongy fluffy texture, and has that nice egg-y smell/taste to it. They usually have it baked for the afternoon - it's best to get it asap as on busy days they sell out of the cake and it tastes even more amazing when it's warm! Not too expensive either, around $7ish for an 8" size.

Not much of any baked goods left at 1:00pm on Monday. If they are closed at 5pm. how much available baked goods were actually made that day????

This place is just steps from my school. Decided to give it a try one day as I was craving carbs, and I couldn't be happier for doing so! The hotdog buns are off the chain! I got them warm and fresh, and they taste as good as they smell and look! Looks like I'll be going here every day on my break now!

Great bakery!! Coconut buns here are the best. Been getting birthday cakes here since I was a kid. The downside, they're closed on Tuesdays and their inventory of baked goods disappears quick. After 6pm there's usually hardly anything left. So come early if you can.

Probably the best Chinese bakery in Mississauga! I remember coming to get freshly baked coconut buns with my mom when I was young and till this day, they are still tasty and the same as before. Come on the weekends for the yummy raisin buns and remember to try their fresh mango cake in the summer. I really enjoy their chestnut cake and this is one of the few bakeries that have chestnut buns. They also other buns and items that you don't often see, walnut bun and small egg tarts. I really love this bakery since everything is sooo fresh and the quality is still the same and consistent. Definitely recommend this to those who haven't tried this Sauga gem!!

The reasoning behind my 1 star for this bakery is because they refused to serve me. I came in to order a hot milk tea since it was a cold day for walking and I heard they have good milk tea, but because I was a lone customer and only wanted to purchase one milk tea they said they couldn't make it. How low can you be? Serious? You wouldn't make one milk tea just because I didn't want to order a bucket load? Never in my life have I been refused service because of pure laziness.

I went here for the Japanese cheesecake based on previous reviews. I was not disappointed! The cheesecake was moist and delicious. I paid $7.50 for the cheesecake so the price has gone up a bit since the previous reviews. They had many other desserts as well including coconut and egg tarts and a variety of buns. I haven't tried the other desserts yet but I will be sure to do so the next time I'm here. A gem of a find!

Their Japanese Cheesecake is the real deal!! For $7 for a whole cake it can't be beat. So airy and filling at the same time, not too sweet and not too cheesy either!

I was craving Chinese hot dogs buns, so I went and got some here.. and now I hate my life. But I love me some Chinese hot dog buns! They have a good variety of Chinese pastries that are baked fresh every day. The coconut buns, red bean buns, and ham & cheese buns are among my favourite and they're reasonably priced. Cash only.

Japanese cheese cake, mango mouse cake, cocnut buns, almond cookies. This place it so underrated! My family and I go here to get out birthday cakes cause they make them so well (especially the mango mouse cake). Their Japanese cheese cake is really so good! It's light and fluffy and not too much cheese! Kind glad not a lot of people know about it, cause then other wise it will turn into an Uncle Tetsu with a long line outside! I love this place, its a hidden jem asian bakery.

The whole year around I used to get make Birthday cakes from here only. Light and yummy we always had fun and felt happy Akko cakes.

This is one of only a few good Chinese bakeries in Mississauga. On a Saturday morning the place is pretty busy. Get your fresh baking early or you may face an empty shelf! My favourites are the coconut buns, crispy flakey egg tarts, the filled cake rolls, and the Japanese cheese cake. Give it a try and pick up your groceries at the No Frills next door while you're at it or have a delicious bowl of wonton soup for lunch from Wonton Chai in the same plaza!

This bakery has a very nice boss; she is kind and respects her works and every customer with care. The breads, cakes, cookies and everything are fresh made. The cheese are delightful. The prices are reasonable and adorable.

Definitely one of the best Chinese bakeries in Mississauga (Oriental Bakery comes close as second). Their pastries and cakes are fine. Had their tiramisu cake as my birthday cake for two occasions. Highly recommend it! Not too sweet but it still hits the spot!

Excellent Japanese cheesecakes in Mississauga for $6.50 only!! No need to line up for Uncle Tetsu

Best Chinese bakery! Best part is the coconut buns that sell out daily by noon. Cost wise, everything is great pricing. Very nice to see that it's about quality of the bakery goods then just a name that's saturated like most Chinese bakeries. Highly recommended!

A little bit pricey compared to other locations in Mississauga however, well worth the money. Great bbq pork buns, fruit cakes, Egg tarts. Not a great selection if you dont come in early and they do cash only so make sure you've got the money!

small shop. cheese cake is super, you jave to order in advance. other buns are so so.
