Maxim's Bakery Metrotown Metropolis

Love this place, everything made very easy to understand. Lots of selection and thr buns are top notch

Bad attitude from server.

Their cake are amazing but the problem is that they only take cash . No credit cards or debit cards cards . Some of the cakes are over priced but definitely taste good

cash only,and the server had an extremely bad attitude

The server had an extremely, extremely bad attitude—I’ve never encountered such terrible service before. Since I don’t come here often, I simply asked how to pay, and she very rudely replied “cash only” with a lot of impatience. I just wanted to confirm and asked if debit card was accepted, and she rolled her eyes, rudely and loudly shouting “cash only.”

I told her that if card is not accepted, she could just say yes or no—instead of being so disrespectful. When I handed her the cash, she rolled her eyes again and even held it up to the light to check if it was counterfeit. I’ve never seen such rude behavior. When giving back the change, she even cursed at me in Cantonese.

I’ll never come back to this disgusting bakery. Everyone, avoid this place.

(Also, the cream in their cream bun is clearly non-dairy vegetable cream—it tastes terrible.)

Finally a place that does traditional Hong Kong cream horns and Napoleon with no sponge filling.

They only accept cash which is ridiculous. They sold me stale cake. It tasted like it’s been sitting there for a couple of days. It was really bad. I had to throw it away because I couldn’t stomach it

Delicious desserts, be it pastries, muffins, tarts or what have you. Everything's freshly baked and it's laid out so that it's easy to find what you're looking for without too much difficulty.

This is truly my favorite bakery in Vancouver. They have a wide variety of products and the prices are really cheap. It's a little disappointing that they only accept cash, but I go often to enjoy the friendliness of the staff and the delicious bread.

Parking: It is convenient to park near Metrotown T&T and walk.

Kid-friendliness: Infants are allowed, but the bakery is a bit narrow to push a stroller!

The food here is good. Maxim has built a good reputation however, their service is terrible. The girls behind the counter are not friendly, helpful or welcoming. We always try to give people the benefit of the doubt but I've been there a few times and each time, their service sucks. I guess they know that people will always go there so it doesn't matter to them. If you aren't picky about service and just want baked goods, then give it a try. If you want more of an experience then I'd skip them.
