| - No, Tokyo Bakery doesn't have Japanese products. I know, the name is deceiving. It's a Chinese bakery by all definitions, and you can confidently speak Cantonese and English here.
Located next to a dance school, you will often find it occupied with the school's patrons. These families will enjoy a milk tea, coffee and/or baked good while waiting for their children's lesson to end. Sometimes, the parents will even treat their little ones to a snack here as a reward for finishing their dance lesson. The bakery seats around 6, so don't bet on eating in, but that pretty much describes most seating arrangements for Chinese bakeries.
You will find your usual assortment of Chinese pastries here. The caveat, however, is that the prices are on the higher end. Each pastry is well over a dollar, which is horrendous given that my Scarborough heart resonates with the idea of 50-90 cents being the average cost for a bun. Also, they don't label the different mini cakes they have on display, so you'll need to ask the lady at the front to describe every cake to you. She is fluent in English though, so there will not be a language barrier.
We got four different mini cakes and shared them. They were cheap at around 3 dollars per slice, but their quality was low. They were edible and somewhat flavourful, but you just couldn't shake off the feeling that low quality, cheap ingredients were used.
Given the higher price point, lower quality ingredients, and obscure location, I wouldn't recommend visiting Tokyo Bakery. There are bakeries with better prices and higher quality nearby.
