Gloucester Bakery

It used to be one of the best HK style bakery, but when I visited the store a few days ago (haven’t been there for 12 years since I moved), it’s such a disappointment. The store looks different, their coconut buns don’t even have the slightest bit of butter or coconut favour; the preserved egg with lotus cake 皮蛋酥 is awful, the egg is so chewy, it feels like rubber. Not worth a penny. Highly don’t recommend the new store. It should have its own name instead of taking over a well-known bakery name.

Ordered a fresh mango cake for a birthday and it was amazing! Everyone loved it! Buns are always fresh and a great deal! If you buy 6 there’s no tax and it’s cash only.

I’ve been getting my HK buns and pastries here since I was a kid, and it’s always been a staple breakfast or snack in my household! The buns and pastries are not necessarily extraordinary, but they’re consistently good, fresh, and one of the most affordable. My favourites are the coconut pineapple buns, plain pineapple buns, and coconut tarts (which are p a c k e d with coconut so they’re actually very hefty and filling). Overall, it’s a lovely bakery that reminds me of classic HK bakeries, and the owner (?) always welcomes us warmly.

We really love this bakery. Everything that comes out from the oven is delicious. The bbq pork buns are a must. The door was nice and chilly and the feeling is just enough. You might want to eat too. On Fridays they have rice pastries filled with peanuts or red bean. They also serve Hong Kong style tea. Ask for a double double you won’t regret it.

Update: they renovated and it looks great.

I have never bought or seen a cake with so much cream and so little sponge cake inside. It was the smallest cake they had and I paid $18 for it. Very overpriced for chocolate flavoured whipped cream!
