Kin-Kin Bakery & Bubble Tea

We LOVE Asian bakeries and were quite happy to have stumbled upon Kin-​Kin whilst in the Atrium.
Pros:
— Lots of options for buns: custard, beef curry, pulled pork, almond, etc. All the buns we tried were huge, soft, fresh, and utterly delicious.
— A microwave is available if you like your buns warm.
— Excellent prices — whether you want 1 bun or 9, the price is right. No tax on larger orders!
— Lots of tempting desserts available, though we didn’t end up trying any. Maybe next time.
— Clean, tidy displays.
Cons:
— None.
I can see how this could be a dangerous place if you live or work in the area — we pretty much lost our self-​control after the first bite! Can’t wait to return!

Literally came here every day in the summer when I was working at Bay/​Dundas. My breakfast for four months was a custard bun with milk tea.

Kin-​Kin Bakery is a handy bakery. It is clean and not overcrowded. They are not expensive at all and they have comfortable seats outside the shop. Coffee is not bad by considering the price. I like their Japanese cheese cake. They have good size sandwich for lunch.

A hidden gem in downtown Toronto! Good quality huge buns in a variety of styles and 6 for $ 7 with no tax required. My favorite is the chocolate bun. I used to travel further to Chinatown, but no more. I come here instead, which is a lot more convenient for me.

Have been coming here for a year or so. Good place, solid and consistent quality. Prices are a bit more expensive than my usual choices in Chinatown but this is a convenient location. Dan tat was good, flaky pastry and custard not too sweet (which I like), raisin twists and coconut twists are good. They have steamed bau (several varieties), I chose the vegetarian one which was average. This is a good option in terms of convenience of location, and the buns as well as the dan tat which I have had, are good. They have a lot of other items which I have not yet tried.

It was delicious,
The bubble tea was awesome and I picked out a selection of delicious buns
(5 for 4.50) night special.
I had a little bit of trouble finding it just using my GPS on my phone but eventually thought to check out inside the mall.
It turned out to be downstairs.
Perfect snack before taking the greyhound.

I came here on Saturday on the way to the greyhound station and I saw the breakfast special.2 buns and a Hong Kong style Tea or Coffee for…3 dollars with no tax!
I had to try it because I’ve passed by this place one gajillion times, and I’ve never had the time to stop here.
I looked through the selection of buns, and there was a lot to choose from.
I settled on the Ham and Corn Salad bun and the Hot Dog and Cheese bun, with the HK Tea.
The hot dog bun was great, a little sweet, but still good. I could’ve used some ketchup with it though.
The Ham and Corn Salad bun was great, but left a huge mess everywhere. I’m pretty sure I left a small pile of corn around me at the Greyhound Station.
The hong-​kong style tea was awesome. just how my mom used to make it! I wish I had put some sugar in though.
I loved this place! I’ll definitely stop by again when I’m on my way to wherever :)

The good: great deals (the prices are great). Some of the buns are SO good. A lot of the dessert buns are really good. Some of the savoury ones are good too, but some are really disappointing — the salty veggie bun was almost inedible. My faves include the flaky egg tart, custard bun, BBQ pork bun, ham and cheese bun, and for some reason the chopped up hot dog bun really hits the spot.
They take Interac, don’t charge you tax and give you a plastic bag for free.

I was taking a short cut through the Atrium at Bay when I stumbled upon this little bakery. My mom used to buy me sesame balls (filled with bean curd) all the time when I was living at home. I was so excited when I came in here, and they had some. I was even more excited when it was just over a buck, and still warm! It was very good, and obviously freshly made.
I went another time near the end of the day and unfortunately they were out of the sesame balls, so I browsed around and opted for the coconut pineapple bun. It was soft and delicious, but not too sweet. Again, you could tell that it was made fresh, and the perfect size for an afternoon snack.
I’ve gone at lunch time, and they have quite the variety of food. Some savoury meals and some sweet. You could make a great lunch out eating there, and get a lot for your money. I can’t remember what the bun special is. I think it’s 5 buns for 6 bucks or something so you could get a few savoury and a few sweet and bam you got a nice little lunch!
A great little bakery with delicious, fresh made snacks at a really cheap price!

The moment I heard mandarin being spoken after I ordered milk tea was the moment I felt real terror.
My fears were not off the mark.
