Let’s start with entering their store — you’ll see a variety of breads with different flavors. But the glass on their showcase was already foggy and unclear, which wasn’t very inviting for me. I bought hot pandesal, and this time it was actually hot. However, there have been many times when we bought from them and the pandesal wasn’t hot at all.
To Harina Family, if you truly care about your business, please do better. It shouldn’t just be about making sales — we, your loyal customers, trust you to give us the best quality products. So please, if it’s labeled hot pandesal, then make sure it’s actually hot, not cold. It feels like we’re being fooled.
Another concerning thing was their staff. The saleslady was very unapproachable, had a rude tone, and didn’t smile at all. Please train your staff — it feels like she’s working there against her will, and clearly not happy with what she’s doing.
Overall: I won’t be buying again from Harina Wilson Avenue. The staff isn’t friendly, and they’re selling stale or old products. The “hot” pandesal isn’t even hot most of the time.
To the owner of Harina, maybe it’s time to take a closer look at your business and your staff. I’m not telling other consumers not to buy here — I’m just sharing my personal review. There are a lot of Filipino bakeries around Toronto that are cleaner and have much friendlier staff.

I am very particular on what is being used as ingredients on what I eat. Here is my honest review and I even called the Wilson branch and talked to someone to tell the owner of what I discovered:
1. Malunggay Pandesal with CHEESE – more expensive than the plain pandesal. The cheese that this bakery uses is not the REAL CHEESE but the PHILADELPHIA CREAM CHEESE. You are charging your customers more money (and it is not that the plain pandesal is cheap coz it is not, and the taste is not a WOOOW pandesal because it is comparable with the ones bought from other Filipino bakeries). That is why I thought eating your malunggay pandesal was not something that was sooo delicious but more on the sweet side because apparently you are not using the real cheese but a processed one – Philadelphia cream cheese which is cheaper than the real cheeses.
2. Your hopia ube and hopia “baboy” could be improved a lot. It is packed but the taste is sub standard of what a hopia is supposed to be. The filling is so thick.
With the 2 items above, I don’t think I would like to spend my money on the other goodies you have. I hope you would improve on your products.
Also, with what I have discovered, I don’t mind driving from Durham Region to Baker’s Best Bakery at 4915 Steeles Ave. East, Unit 7.

I went there to buy a cassava cake as I had it before at a friends and it was so good. The one I got yesterday was super hard, even warming it up didn’t help. Packaged buns were stale but the hot buns in the back were great. Marlene they need to change their supplier. Wasn’t impressed at all

My mom & I went to Harina’s Bakery on a Tuesday evening, (June 10) to buy pandesal the lady who was serving named Mariz, or Maris (however you spell it) was serving us, and she dumped the plastic bag into the bag, after serving us, my mom asked for an extra plastic bag & she (Mariz) said it’s 50 cents. Mariz was so rude & she doesn’t know how to talk to customers, she shouldn’t work in customer service setting with that kind of attitude.

Ordered fresh pandesal, cheese bread, ube hopia, spanish bread, ube ensaymada and pan de coco. It was disappointing that the pandesal was not hot even though it came from the back of the bakery. All the breads tasted good except for the ube hopia and ube ensaymada that lacked any ube flavor.
Food is good, but very difficult to find parking.
