Shout out to Saint Germain Bakery which still has one location serving customers at Aberdeen Centre in Richmond. You can also get their breads, pastries, cakes delivered to your home. A few months ago, I picked up a variety of goodies: Matcha Mochi Buns, Chocolate Buns, Strawberry Buns, Taro Pastries, LongJing Tea Pastries, and 2 Salted Yolk Pies. Each of the items came out to be just about $2.
Came here early when they just opened. The shelves were still bring filled but we get fresh bakery. They have reasonable selection and quite reasonable in taste. Prices are average, not cheap for some items.
Best molten cheese tart moist and not too heavy in the inside. Tried the 酥皮 egg tart and Portuguese egg tart but its okay, cant compare to the molten cheese tart.
My brother got a cake for my dad's birthday yesterday. It was a sponge fruit cake, very classic Chinese style cake.
This particular one was covered in white chocolate and was very delicious. We didn't expect that there was blueberries and grapefruit inside too. I highly recommend this cake. Absolutely delicious.
Pineapple buns all the way!. My go-to place for Chinese bakery items! This place smells so yummy!! They are pretty consistent for some standby items like pineapple buns, egg tarts, sponge cake and the sweet buns. Most items are around $1 each. I love their pineapple buns - great texture, moist with a great topping! The sponge cake here is quite dense and buttery - I liked it but it tasted a little different than the other sponge cakes I've had. The egg tarts are delicious when they are fresh, unfortunately they didn't taste that great a day after a flight home to Winnipeg. :-( I like the specials like 6 small pineapple buns for $2.80.
They open at 10 am but many of the items don't roll out until a bit past 11 am. Staff are fast and efficient because it's quite busy here so don't think too long about what you want to pick behind the counter. LOL.
Located on the main level of Aberdeen Mall so you get free parking while you pick up the goodies!
Amazing aroma. You will be drawn towards this bakery by its irresistable aroma but rest assured, your tastebuds will not be disappointed. Even a slice of their plain bread is wonderful. I recommend the croissants.
Your typical neighbourhood HK style bakery. The items here are all generic, but taste pretty standard for what you'd expect.

The crust is perfectly melt in your mouth with a delicious egg tart filling. The filling is not too sweet and has a very smooth texture. I was lucky these are fresh and still warm!

I love almost all French pastries especially macarons. I frequently treat myself to these cute, tiny, sweet cookies. To get my macaron fix I frequently get them at Saint Germain Bakery, which might sound a bit strange since they are Chinese bakery. Surprisingly this place makes a decent macaron and for a decent price! For $11 you can get a pack of 12 or 1 for $1.05. These prices being very reasonable when compared to other places in Vancouver like Thierry where a macaron can cost $2.50 each. Mind you that these don’t come in as nice as a box as Thierry.
After watching too much Gossip Girl, I decided I really need to try macaroons. Blair Waldorf loves her macaroons. Thus, I bought a box from Saint Germain Bakery at Aberdeen Centre. $11/box of 12, or $1.05/1. After eating a couple, sharing with my mom, then I realized I haven't snapped a picture yet! It is a bit sweet, but I love eating sweets so it didn't matter. I really liked the lemon one! Zesty and sweet, I'm a sucker for citrus-y desserts. Pistachio (green) was really good too! Didn't expect it since I'm not too sure how pistachio flavoured anything tastes like. Not a fan of the chocolate one, as I never really liked chocolate flavoured desserts, for some odd reason. (The chocolate one is not the in the picture since me and my friend ate them before hand. ) It was the sweetest one, but it had a weird sweet aftertaste. I gave the coffee ones to my mom and her coworker, and they both enjoyed it. I probably have to buy a single coffee flavoured one next time so I know how it tastes l
We always stop at Saint Germain Bakery when at Aberdeen Centre and it never disappoints. I love the red bean paste buns, which are not very sweet and absolute magic in the mouth. My kiddos love the coconut creme buns and the mochi as well.
Black forest cake is the best I have ever had. There are real cherry sauce in side And it’s super delicious!
This is an upscale bakery founded by Thomas Fung. There are a few locations in Metro Vancouver as well as in Greater Toronto Area. During the pandemic the business offers disposable gloves and hand sanitizer to its customers. There are plenty of parking at Aberdeen Centre but during weekend or Chinese New Year is a different story on parking. Overall, the cakes, pastries, and baked goods quality are very good but comes at a price. In my opinion, the prices are tend to be higher. As for baked goods size wise it’s about average except for their black cherry cheesecake which is a lot smaller. I wish the size is a bit larger for the same price.
Friendly staff, good pastries. Very convenient if you need a gift and you happen to be in the area. They have some cute cakes. My mother loves coming here. They have a 10% off card.
Good quality Asian style cakes here. Had the chestnut cake. Very rich and nutty. Worth trying but not something to be eaten frequently... More like a once in a while thing.
The staff are attentive and very nice even if you don't speak Chinese & have some miscommunication. Plus you can use debit/credit card. Their cake is tasty and other baked desserts such as banana bread, blueberry bread and egg tarts are so reasonable & huge :)
