  I love this place. Been to alot of chinese bakeries, this place is the best so far.. They have the best HK milk tea and  Pineapple buns. The coconut buns are filled generously. The buns are always fresh.

  Finally found an amazing Hong Kong Bakery that is right around the corner from where I am!
  
  At first glance, the store is dark and doesn't look like a bakery other than it being in the name. If you did not know what this place is, you would assume it would be an Italian restaurant. Once you walk through the doors, its like entering into another world. A world where older Cantonese people like to congregate.
  
  The parking at this location is small and plaza like. There are is limited parking but because the plaza is not busy, it is easy to get a parking spot.
  
  In the store itself, the left side of where the baked baos are, the middle back is the cashier and the right side is where you pickup kitchen orders. The dining area and is limited to roughly 20 people approximately.
  
  For the buns, they range from 1-3$ depending on what you purchased. They are a bit more expensive then what you may be use to but they are larger then other HK bakeries. There are many different buns from BBQ pork to curry buns to pineapple buns. If you purchase 6 buns, the order is tax free which is similar to other Chinese bakeries.
  
  At the cashier, you can purchased some lai cha. They have 4 sizes from S - XL. The cashier will make it for you and serve the lai cha to you! The lai cha is not to sugary and it is well balanced. If you're interested, you can purchased a combo of a drink and a butter pineapple bun. It looked like a big slab of butter between the pineapple bun but it is a reasonable price of $4.05

  I've been looking for a good Hong Kong style cha chaan teng (café) in the Mississauga area and I think this is the closest I've come so far.
  
  I love a fresh boh loh bao (pineapple bun) and a hot lai cha (milk tea). That's exactly what I ordered here and I was not disappointed! The pineapple bun had a sweet, crumbly, crunchy crust with a soft, fluffy inside.
  
  Hong Kong style milk tea is not as simple as tea and milk. It has its own unique taste and texture and they do a great job of it here! It has a good tea flavour, it's creamy and sweet but not too rich and overly sweet.
  
  The café itself is very casual and reminiscent of the one's in Hong Kong where the furniture and decor is chosen for practicality rather than design. The buns are a little more expensive than other HK style cafés but also a little bigger in size. I tried a curry bun as well and it had generous amount of filling.
  
  I'm definitely going to make this a regular stop for milk tea and buns!

  I have been here many times. Mostly on a Sat morning and still love their HK milk tea and their pineapple bun. Their pineapple bun is the best I've had so far in Toronto and in Mississauga. Their other buns are very good as well. I highly recommend then.

  Do you prefer breads & muffins over cupcakes & donuts? A nice brewed tea over the weak teabag fare? Then you have to check out this little spot in this unassuming neighbourhood plaza. I finally went myself after enjoying their pineapple buns via my brother who loves the place!
  
  I'm sometimes wary of Asian bakeries because a lot of their baked goods taste "eggy" and most are filled with creams, custards or pastes (not a fan). But the buns here are so well made - fluffy and soft but substantial enough to be a light breakfast or midday snack. Their pineapple buns are the signature. They don't really taste like pineapple, but are just sweet enough, SO soft inside, and with a lovely crisp streusel topping (best when fresh - it tends to flake off messily if you've bought them later in the day). I also tried their cinnamon roll (exactly how I like them - with just a touch of cinnamon sugar!) & walnut roll (also very nice) along with their hot Hong Kong milk tea (perfect, deep brew).
  
  The place has a small seating area to the right & there were a lot of people there enjoying tea & treats. The lady was walking around, talking to them - it really had a sweet, neighbourhood vibe.
  
  The one downside is that they only take cash, which is a small inconvenience for all the positives here.
