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

The Food here was great I bought a couple of pastries cause I got a gift card from family. Only thing is that their service is garbage! I had repeat myself so many times while getting service, theres also one lady that just kept giving me attitude.

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.

Come here for pastries. Coconut cream bun was ok. Wife likes coconut swirl. I like curry beef turnover and bun. Plum cake good too. Chicken bun and turnover too mushy
