It's a funny thing to think about, that iBake and it's designer counter part are strategically situated at opposite ends of the Sheppard to Finch area of Yonge Street, and both about four blocks away from a respective subway station.
But I'll take more trips to iBake for providing the consumer with its conventional selection of baked goods that are already found at the Chinatown bakeries. And also in addition, there are about two dim-sum items and also some bean-filled pastries, and also a pastry that incases a filling of bbq pork, something that seems very hard to find at alot of Chinese places in Canada. You know, you go in, everything looks familiar so you don't have a hard time deciding what you want to get, just simple!
I had already wanted to check this place out when I came across on Yelp and did just that yesterday. I got six different items so far have not been disappointed with first two that I had for a mid-morning snack.
Yeah, some of prices on the smaller sized items do match with their value-for-size but if they're good then maybe I will be willing to pay that price.
The prices for more familiar buns and rolls are a bit higher than the price at Hong Island bakery but if I need to get something from here by taking a 5 minute subway ride then I'm fine with that.
I've going back soon to try out the more specialty products at iBake.
