Maria's Bakery Inn

I loved how this bakery reminded me of when I was a kid and would have cardboard boxes full of cakes (which they make here). I ordered a mango mochi - which was a disappointment because it was mango custard (no whole mango inside at all). The durian bun was something I was looking forward to; however, it was more a slice of butter/cream than durian inside a pineapple bun, for $7.20, I expected more. The peanut mochi was okay. The most disappointing was the wife cake - I purchased this and didn’t eat it until the day after - it had already started MOULDING on the base! See photos. I’m sorry I couldn’t be more positive about this review but I was very dissapointed.

Old style Hongkong bakery’s. I love coctail buns, Luncheon Buns, Pineapple buns. Really recommended especially their buns are yummy. and affordable. They also sell Durian flavors!

Delicious surprise in Burwood. Amazing sweet buns and a highly recommended pit stop

The tastiest beef curry bun and coconut bread. The buns are so juicy and soft. The ladies are nice even if they’re not proficient in English. They’ve been baking there for 30 years and it shows in their workmanship and their relationships with locals. Prices are reasonable.

100 per cent recommend! This is an OG Asian bakery that you should visit if you live local or are ever in the area. They also do event catering. I ordered a classic chocolate cake for our wedding reception dinner to serve approx. 130 guests. I had left it to the last minute so placed the order a week ahead, was given advice by the owner/manager Maggie about flavour, size etc., and was very happy with the quality, look, taste and price. It was a hit with all the guests! I also bought their famous pineapple buns while I was there and they did not disappoint.

Walking down the street and was surprised by traditional classic bakery shop. The bread has a classic Cantonese style and is noticeably bigger compared to others. The staff possibly the boss herself, was very friendly and took the time to introduce some of their delicious buns. Worth checking out for those who enjoy traditional baked.

I moved to Burwood almost a year ago. I have been here quite a few times and enjoy the buns, the pineapple coconut hybrid bun is a nice touch. The coffee bun is great. However - the service from the woman is inconsistent. Most times she will charge you correctly. Sometimes she will round up, sometimes she will charge you for a plastic bag (I don't often get a plastic bag). I should stand up better for myself but am a bit awkward. But it shouldn't be up to me to monitor her behaviour. Sometimes I get the feeling the service is slightly better if I converse in Cantonese. If you want to raise the prices just raise the price. Don't stuff your customers around with what is supposed to be the easiest part of the process. What a shame.
