Patisserie Gateau

Patisserie Gâteau. The name would make one think that it was a French patisserie that specialized in cakes. Not so.
This is an Asian bakery… Chinese to be exact. They also have another location in first Markham Place which I have not been to yet.
In this tiny space they sell Chinese bakery goods which is severely lacking in the North York area that has many Asian restaurants, bubble tea shops, noodle houses, phở places, and the such but hardly any bakeries.
Their prices are higher than those in Chinatown, (ie. Curry Beef bun $ 1.20), but they are much more generous with the filling, taste is good but not as flavourful as those I’ve had growing up. The bun itself is like an egg bun, and is good.
Service is self serve on trays using tongs. I’d like to see paper on those trays for sanitary reasons, and would also like to see them clean the tongs after each customer. Loss of a star for not having this.
This place is closer than a trip to Chinatown, but more expensive. Good for a fix but I am still looking for a bakery that will have better pricing and a decent amount of flavourful filling.
