Maxims' Cakes

Delicious cake slices, savour items and other Asian style pastries. Quite busy but quick service.

Maxims Cakes Review on 25/7/2023 Despite being small, the shop is sells a good variety of Asian style cakes. The presentation looks good. My wife bought two and other pastries. I love flaky egg tart, but was very disappointed that the egg tart case was like the Portuguese egg tart, but the filling is Chinese style.

Been here for the wife cakes as long as I can remember. The bake goods are delicious. The wife cake is exceptional ... must try ... according to my wife. Makes her deliriously happy 😂

Cakes are great and service here is even better! Ordered delivery here tonight and one of the items I ordered was unavailable to staff called me to offer alternative and provided some egg tarts also. So kind!!

One of our favourite independent bakeries. Have always loved their freshly baked egg tarts, but lately I noticed their egg tarts have noticeably shrunk in size - shinkflation! While I empathise with the current economic situation, I'd prefer to pay more for a regular sized egg tart!

Ordered delivery of 4 chocolate logs and few other as extras to make $12 shipping fee worthwhile. Only 1 chocolate log arrived + extras I ordered. They offered refund of the 3, but not able to resend. So $12 shipping fee became super expensive due to no fault from me. Would prefer for them to resend the rest of the chocolate logs but apparently nope only refund of the 3 missing. Unhappy ☹️ Still waiting for the refund to be processed.

Something of an institution in Little Bourke Street, Maxims is an authentic Asian Bakery and I would consider more upmarket than say Bread Top. They have an excellent range of cakes, buns, tarts and so much more. There is an amazing range of large cakes and cheesecake style items in the fridge as soon as you walk in the door, so if you have a special event coming up, it would be worth giving them a try. Prices are generally reasonable and the taste superior to other places nearby. The staff are lovely and patient because frankly, I stood there just not knowing which delicious item to buy. I chose the egg tart and not disappointed. There is also a nice range of savoury items as well. Wheelchair friendly. Dietaries - just ask the staff. Eat in or takeaway.

Maxims Cake’s wide variety of treats and food is immaculate and is a must try for authentic Hong Kong cuisines. The egg tarts are very popular and taste especially great just out of the oven. I had had many positive experiences all the times that I have been with amazing buns, cakes and other popular treats such as wife cake and Swiss rolls. A must try for everyone with reasonably priced food. Next time you are in the CBD, or in Kingsway Glen, you have to check them out!!
