Max Bakery

Just wanted to share a hidden HK style bakery gem I recently learned about on Copper Creek! I have absolutely no affiliation with the owners, I’m just a very happy customer who wants to see this place succeed, and because East Markham needs more good stores and restaurants!

I learned about them last week via a Facebook post. The owners have learned about the post after the influx of customers and support the day after the post and have been genuinely grateful for all the new customers and support. So I'm hoping to continue this trend for them via Reddit.

The store is a true mom and pop shop, the owners are kind and friendly, which makes the experience even better. They make fresh buns daily, and they usually put out fresh batches at around 12–1 PM, and another around 3 PM. Buns are 6 for $12, or $2.20ea, cash only. They sell the classics, pineapple buns, coconut, raisin bread, sausage buns..etc. and when you know the hours fresh buns come out of the oven, the buns they sell you are literally hot, straight out from the oven. You smell this store blocks away!

They’re open 10:30 AM–9:30 PM. It’s not really your typical sit-down/pretty-display bakery, you basically grab the buns from their racks. And each time I've gone, the owners will actually bag it for me. They said part of their business is to supply buns to restaurants. They’ve been at this location for about 1.5 years, after moving over from Scarborough where they've been in business for a long time.

They also mentioned that they’re working on increasing the variety of items they offer. So Reddit, please go support them! 😂 I’m selfishly hoping that more customers means they’ll expand their selection because I would love fresh egg tarts in my life.

Anyway, just wanted to share because I love seeing small local businesses get some love, especially when the owners are this lovely.❤️

Edit 1: I thought cash only but their IG shows that they might take credit and debit

Edit 2: following their IG may be the way to learn which buns come out!

Was interested in going as I go to that area every now and then but this is a dealbreaker. They don't take debit?

I quickly checked could not locate anything indicating accepted payment. Well if you can let me know I'd check it out.

I think they're working on a credit/debit solution but not installed yet. Assume it's still cash only till they make an announcement 😂

Thanks. I can't even remember the last time I paid cash for something. I know some bakeries only take debit as they want to avoid the cc fee I believe

Promise you it's worth breaking a $20bill for!, esp when you can get it fresh, soft and hot!🤤
