I work by one, this one is not usually my normal stop when buying cakes for the family birthdays! But with that said I had a call to get my Grandma's birthday cake on a Sunday and this was along the way. On a Sunday afternoon when I did not call for any bookings of a particular cake I came in and had a few selections of non-marked up cakes, the staff here was very friendly and pointed out all the cakes that were not bought up for what I needed, and asked me how many people were going to eat. During this time I also had to use the washroom, and this one does have one!
So during my running with nature I had to get the key, and while rushing over I noticed many pictures with HK celebrities, usually while they were in town during their very own concerts, so Anna's is probably one of the bigger sponsors. I also noticed you can sit around here, order drinks, have pastries, not just your take an go location. This place is where the stuff is produced and trucked out to their other stores.. the main base as they say! My family is a huge fan of their stuff, especially their cakes for birthdays.
I love the fact they always give you the choice, if you pre-order, to either go for regular cream, or the more flavourful fattening butter cream, and with multiple selections that have made Chinese parties famous with their cakes. If you are not in for the big celebration, but need to bring some small pastries, this is also considered the best of the Chinese bakeries in the Lower Mainland, stuff like flaky Napoleans, egg tarts (not my favorite here), assorted sweet and savoury buns, puddings and cheesecakes just to name a few. The place cost a bit more than the competition, but they also know they are better than the competition.
I enjoyed this location, and if I ever actually wanted to sit around a place eating their pastries, I know I can do it right here!
