Mashion Bakery

You could argue that this isn’t the best bakery in Toronto, but at this price point, you definitely won’t find anything better in the city. They offer a wide variety of baked goods, most of which are around two dollars each. If you happen to be passing by, I highly recommend stepping in for a look. Just remember to bring some cash—there’s a $1 fee for using debit.

I went in just to get a taro egg yolk moon cake. Surprisingly it was not too sweet ( which I love!!! ) I am health conscious and don’t like anything too sweet. It was fresh and the size of the moon cake is reasonable for the price. I will definitely try other items next time. Highly recommended!

All price are include tax. Rice dumpling is full of filling and sugar level at average. 麥香麵麭坊 Tuesday open now.

my favorite bakery ever, staff members are all so sweet. i always leave there with 2 gigantic bags of pineapple buns and pastries for less than $30, and they’re all chefs kiss. i love to see them busy and i’ll continue to support them for all the awesome work they do!

Mashion has been my absolute favorite Chinese buns restaurant in the entire city for years. they have a lot of variety, the buns are cooked fresh daily, and the service is always very kind. I've been going here for over 5 years and won't stop anytime soon. they're an affordable, delicious, local hidden gem. can't recommend Mashion enough!!

Compared to the 3 other Chinese bakeries in Chinatown I’ve tried, this one is BY FAR the best. Really tasty breads, cheap prices; I’ve gotten two full bags worth of goods here and it’s still under $20. LOVE the pork bbq so I highly recommend either the pork bbq baked buns or steamed buns. The hotdog buns are good too. My boyfriend also loves the sticky rice. If you come in early, the products will still be warm and freshly baked. Worth the visit!

I love going to Asian bakeries since they're usually far less pricey than their European counterpart. By far, Mashion Bakery is one of the best Chinese style bakery in downtown Toronto. Once you step into the store you will find buns of all kind, baked or steamed, and various cakes stacked with cream and fruits and decorated with frosting. They're individually wrapped and it's a self-serve model where you take a tray and a pair of tongs and select whatever you like. One takeaway is to visit this bakery in the morning for best results. I find that the baked goods especially the buns and egg custard tarts are at their peak while still warm plus there's not a lot of choices left when you come in the afternoon or nearer to closing time. My top 3 go-to favourites here are the Cheese Beef Hotdog Bun, Pineapple Red Bean Bun, and Baked BBQ Pork Bun. Although a lot pricier compared to regular buns, the cheese beef hotdog bun is soft and tender and the quality of the beef hotdog is not bad at all. The pineapple red bean bun although a bit sweeter for my liking (due to the red bean filling) has a good ratio of filling to bread. I liked to get the baked version of the bbq pork bun rather than the steamed one because the bread is better. Prices are reasonable and definitely one of the best cheap eats in Toronto.

I've visited Mashion Bakery for over a decade and although prices have gone up with inflation and packaging measures since the COVID-19 pandemic, it is still rather affordable and lower priced than other places. Cash is preferred.
