Have been going here since u was 11!!!!! Love their bor lor baos and if you want a Chinese style birthday cake (all that fruity creamy goodness that all BBCs secretly loooovveee) this place is amazing!!! Am living their new refurbishment, the place looks so clean and much less cramp! If an award existed for consistent excellence in bread baking ... I reckon this place would have a good stab at winning it lol! Honestly 17 years eating baos at this place and I have never ever had even half a complaint. My mum is obsessed with their Swiss rolls.
The best pastries I've EVER eaten! I hope to visit on my next visit to London.
The ultimate goat of all the bakeries in Chinatown!
I have been buying and ordering my birthday cakes from here for 10 years now and they have not changed their recipe one bit. It still tastes the same and their fresh cream compares to no other bakery in Chinatown.
It is hands down the most delicious texture and filling in their cakes.. my favourite is the Cocktail bun, pork bun and the coconut cream bun!
A good selection of sweet & savoury pastry & buns. The bakery may be small but it has a many pastry & bun to satisfy one taste buds and curiosity. Ever friendly staff and competitive prices.
The shop itself does not say much until you go inside. It is a small shop that can get busy within minutes. There are quite a big variety of pastries that I have never seen before anywhere else. It took a bit of time to look at all of them and decide what to buy. You have to put your pastry onto a small plastic tray and take it to the cashier who puts them in paper bags. Only for take away there is no table inside or outside.
B9t of downside that Only cash unless you pay more than 10£. Everything I bought was very nice I liked them a lot so I will go back next time as well. I bought chicken curry bun, pork bun and coconut pastry kind of rolls sweet. I recommend to visit it. It is cheap as well.
Thank you so much for the beautiful cake, I was looked for every shops in Chinatown, you are the only one can make mango cake for my boy, he is extremely happy for this cake! He said this is the best cake every 👍
If there anything better than their fresh pork buns I don't know what it is. Whoever gave this less than 5 stars is mentally ill
Best chinese bakery! I get my celebration cakes here and they are delish! Each bun/cake is around £1.80-£2.30. Sad that prices have shot up massively, but for the occasional treat when im in Chinatown its okay!
Always delicious Asian pastries made fresh every day. You could definitely say it's the best bakery in Chinatown! The egg tarts and pork floss rolls are my fav but the egg tarts go superrr quick so if you want them go early! warning‼️: minimum card spend is £10
I first encountered the Golden Gate Cake Shop’s products in Tian Tian Market and I am obsessed. I’ve tried almost all the buns and now I usually go straight to Chinatown to buy the buns. My absolute favourite is the garlic and sweetcorn bun but none of the buns I’ve tried have disappointed. If you’re ever near Chinatown and want to buy some delicious buns, this is the place to go.
I found this place after my friend recommended it to me as she's been buying their cakes for years! I've so far had 2 full size cakes which were very reasonably priced for the detail, very tasty. We've also had a couple of slices of chocolate mousse cake, swiss rolls and the pork buns, all of which are fantastic and would highly recommend.
The cakes are packed up into a very sturdy box which has been a great help.
In my opinion the best bakery in china town. The buns are always full with fillings. Recipe has been the same for as long as I can remember.
Unfortunately they don't have card. CASH ONLY which in turns means less queues.
Awesome bakery with really good Chinese breads and cakes. The buns are so fluffy and light, even when heated up in the microwave the next day.
The cakes are also amazing! Very light and fluffy. Lots of fruit. Not too sweet. Very good pricing for the celebration cakes. They go by lbs. We ordered a 2lb cake for only £24. Loads of places charge at least £40+
The best bakery in Chinatown. For a long time I went to Chinatown Bakery because there is no minimum card spend but I realised Golden Gate tastes much better. I love the sausage bun and ham and spring onion bun in particular. Friendly service from the woman too.
It’s a small bakery compared other bakeries in Chinatown. I love their Coconut Roll.
My favourite go to place in Chinatown for bakery goods. Smaller and less crowded than the other Chinese bakeries on the main streets of Chinatown, but sells great varieties of Chinese pastries.
Cake amazing and fresh as always. Definitely favourite place 😊
A very small shop, crowded with two or three people, but it's my go to place in Chinatown for egg tarts (with flaky pastry) and pork buns (baked). I find the service the friendliest out of the other bakeries. However, because it's small, it doesn't have as wide a selection as the others.
This very small cake shop located in a less favourable location offers a big variety of delicious Chinese patisserie at noticeably cheaper price. Both egg tarts and coconut tarts are bigger than the ones of Chinatown Bakery. Lotus buns and a selection of pineapple buns are must-try. There is also fresh mango pudding. Definitely my go-to Chinese cake shop.
Been going here for decades. Always get a char siu bun (barbecue pork), price is still reasonable as the buns are filled to bust with delicious pork!
Self service with tongs onto trays and then cash at the till, simple but it works. The place hasn't changed since I first went in, and that's a good thing! Recommended for authentic Chinese sweet and savoury treats.
Decent Chinese bakery, it's quite small in there and can get quite busy.
