Bakery Everbest

Been here a number of times, and felt the urge to post something this time. It’s more of a comment of the overall feel of the mall and area.
It has an overall unsophisticated aura oozing around the air, but is definitely vibrant and culturally specific to Asians. As such, this bakery is right at home with its less fancy decorations, as one would come here for the quality of the food and couldn’t care less about the busted sign, and ³⁄₁₀ visual arrangements of trays and food.
Think with your stomach, take in the aroma with your nose, and rely less on your eyes and you’ll be happy you’ve indulged on some pretty good bakery.

This bakery has been here for years, I’ve literally been a customer for almost twenty years! I would give it a five star because the quality of bread is amazing, but recently when I came here, I felt super uncomfortable. One of the ladies who works here stood outside to watch and makes sure you don’t steal their bread, literally moving her entire head in every direction that you move. I don’t come here often for them to recognize me, but really? I’ve been a customer for over two decades. I guess it’s hard to blame them though, because a lot of people must have tried to steal from them.
Prices have gone up from the past. Back then, it was 6 buns for $ 3, now, it’s $ 4.20 for six buns. They also sell cakes, popcorn and other bakery items such as red bean cake, this banana sticky cake, wintermelon cake, egg tarts, etc.

I like this place mainly because they have chicken pot pies. Although their egg tarts aren’t as plump and fat like some other Chinese bakeries, they’re still pretty tasty. The only reason why I can’t give them a four or five-​star is because they lack other new menu items such as macarons or even adding Portuguese egg tarts or milk tarts into the mix. Their menu has been the same for years but sometimes I wish they would add new items so I wouldn’t have to venture out further just to attain the goods I crave every now and then. I too, am not sure about the actual cleanliness of the utensils at times but I only hope they care enough. Anyway, they are cheap and effective in terms of feeling full and satisfied while not breaking the bank and some of their cakes aren’t bad either. Their rolled mocha and vanilla cakes are just the perfect amount of sweet — nothing overbearing. They only accept cash.

If you don’t know where to look, just walk into Woodside Square and follow your nose.
Bakery Everbest is located at the front entrance of Woodside Square facing Finch Ave. The bakery itself is located on a tiny corner and is constantly churning out freshly baked Chinese goods. Much of the buns are stuffed with some Westernized items like Ham and cheese, Chicken, and tuna salad, but they weren’t bad.
The best part of the place is a special where you can get 6 buns of any kind for $ 3.60. (Though you only get a box for 8 buns…) There are a variety of various buns to pick from, which was nice. I tried out Curry Beef, Tuna, Sausage, Ham and Cheese, Bacon, and Egg and Cheese.
Every one of the buns had a nice sweet flavor but the fillings were pretty miniscule. The curry beef was a bit odd but I liked it. It was ground beef cooked with a dry curry, so it’s more of a paste and not a very runny curry. I always enjoy tuna salad so the Tuna Bun wasn’t bad either, but the filling was pretty small in portion size. The taste was done very well though. The sausage one is just a hot dog stuck in a warm bun. It’s a pretty thin hot dog stuffed into a warm sweet bun. The Ham and Cheese, as well as the Bacon, were pretty weak as there appeared to be no filling and just a random slice of ham/​bacon on the respective buns. the Egg and Cheese was pretty good as there is an egg patty with a slice of ham within the bun itself. Almost like a McMuffin but with a much warmer, sweeter bread.
Prices are wonderful and the variety of buns is great. They also have cakes and custards if you’re wondering where to look. I liked the place, but obviously you can get some similiar items elsewhere like T&T.

This is one of my favourite chinese bakeries. The price is really cheap $ 3.60 for 6 buns. Also the buns are pretty tasty and usually fresh. However I would agree that the wintermelon cake is dry and the egg tarts aren’t the best. The black bean pastry is hit or miss, sometime it is really good, othertimes it is dry and burnt tasting.

Everbest Bakery is located inside Woodside Square.
A Chinese bakery that sells mostly Chinese/​Western version of buns and pastries.
Convenient if you are shopping or running errands inside Woodside Square but definitely doesn’t worth a special trip.
— Winter melon (Wife) Cake is dry, the filling is hard and doesn’t have much flavour
— Egg Tart is a little better… but I think the custard a little too sugary
The one thing really makes this place a 2 star is how the cashier use a dirty yellowish looking towel to wipe off the plastic trays that we put our selection of baked goods on…
If I don’t see it then is ok… but…
