Aroma Bakery Xíng Xiāng Lǎo Pù

A couple of days before driving back to NYC I searched online and found many peeps suggested Aroma’s pastries and seasonal moon cakes. Thus the day before the drive home I purchased their mini moon cakes, honey noodle cake (ma jai), and wife cake to sample taste as well as compare against other recommended bakeries before committing to loading up pastries for friends/family. I was pleasantly satisfied with the taste, texture, and quality of the moon cake as well as the honey noodle cake. It was also nice that these items were better than the other highly reviewed bakeries. Thus the next day we returned toAroma and with the friendly and helpful staff as well as the few parties of locals and tourists in the bakery that morning all buying Aroma’s fresh out of the oven curry beef puff pastry by the dozens. I made my decision to load up on Aroma moon cakes, honey noodle cakes, and curry beef puff pastry. Also picked up a couple of bbq pork puff pastry. On the road back home we tried the curry beef puff pastries and we were blown away no wonder people were buying them by the dozens! So epic tasty smooth filling and the layered flakiness is heaven in our mouths. Then tried the 2 BBQ pork puff pastries once we got home the next day which was just about as lovely a day later. Shame we didn’t pick up a dozen of these as well! Next time I visit TO this is a go to spot and will be even more aggressively buying by the dozens! Now the aroma is just a missed memory.

Highly doubt anyone in Canada's Markham/Richmond Hill area really need a review written by someone in New Jersey, USA about this place, but as a Cantonese living on the East Coast of the USA, coming up to Toronto is basically a cultural pilgrimage.A friend got wife-cake from this location and drove it back down to New Jersey on the same day. It was so fresh and had such a balance of flavor, we knew we would have to try it when we were in the area. It did not disappoint. All of their traditional Cantonese bakery offerings were top notch. It also helps that Martin Yan himself recommends this place!

I go here just for the wife cakes. Great quality and really tasty.

DELICIOUS pastries and excellent service. Can tell is is fresh because you have to wait a bit but it comes out hot.

So delicious!! The best wife husband cakes?also very good prices. Definitely recommend
