Wah Kee Chinese Bakery in Glasgow City

Best bakery in Glasgow! Ignore Byres Road and Great Western Road. This has delicious cakes and pastries. I highly recommend the custard bun and lotus/red bean paste mochi. Choices for halal and vegetarian, I'm not sure about vegan. Nestled in Chinatown you can get a meal at the restaurant next door and come here for dessert! I don't think they have the same owners but just a suggestion. I usually go to purchase my pastries from there either for breakfast or for birthday parties. They also sell birthday cakes which you can pre-order. Made in classic 90s, 00s and current style. You can get cakes made with fruits or without. I have been going here since I was 6 years old, when the Mandarin/Cantonese School was held at Stow College instead of Kelvin Collage. It was a brilliant atmosphere after school on a Saturday. Nowadays there aren't as many people so if you are looking for privacy you can find it here. There is a fireplace where you can keep warm and the staff are not overly friendly. Truly the best bakery in Glasgow.

This little gem of a place is the best 👌. We went in to get a couple of items to have for after tea. As soon as I saw what they had on offer we just had to buy a whole load of different cakes and buns. What a choice they have. Everything looks amazing 👏. The staff were well attentive. The place was spotless. Will definitely be back for more. Need to try the restaurant as well.😋

The food is amazing and so cheap compared to other places! Do recommend for a day out!

Love this bakery. Great selection of baked goods. Favourite are their fish floss bun and egg tarts.

The spinach cake is just so soft n the creamed toppings are just so delicate. The cafe~late is just supreme. Very delicious. Very clean. Very hygienic. n the cosiness is cool. Great place where u can unwind. The, staff never pressure you to buy. N that is just amazing. Am going to go here again. N for any celebration I think I'll go for the full gateauxs.

Absolutely amazing been going since I was wee

Best cakes, always buy from here

amazing food, good priced, everything so fresh and tasty loved it

Nice Chinese/Hongkong-styled cakes and buns

If you've not been, your missing out

This bakery has fly tipped their industrial waste at Hamiltonhill Gardens, this is illegal and should be disposed of at the expense of the business, not at the courtesy of the taxpayer.

Fresh baked cakes and buns Hong Kong style, the custard tarts are freshly made on site.

Amazing birthday cake and so light and fresh would highly recommend 👌

We have been regular customers at Wah Kee bakery for many years, I HAVE ASKED the older lady several times whether the buns were vegetarian, she replied that it was!! and no animal product in it..I repeated the question 2 or 3 times and she confirmed it was vegetarian! recently we went there and were served by a younger lady, I asked her again to be on the safe side, she went inside and asked the chef and replied that the buns had pork fat!! (Lard) . This is just to warn that the older lady is dishonest and just want to make profit at all cost! Vegetarians, Vegans and Halal BEWARE!!

Nice selection on savoury products and cakes

蛋糕的种类挺丰富：叉烧酥，蛋挞，老婆饼还提供生日蛋糕，味道不错，我经常去，价格也算不贵。然而，他们的营业员可能会多算钱，因为零零整整也不知道是无意的还是有心的。还有，会给尤其是中国大陆的留学生直接拿盒子和袋子来收取10p，比如当你买四个蛋挞，二话不说直接拿盒子装再给你个袋子就是20p。日积月累积少成多，不是钱的问题而且做生意方法的问题，如果你不要袋子他们脸色马上就要难看了。而对于外国人都会询问是否需要袋子。

Memories of Hong Kong, bang for buck.

Best coconut roll I’ve tasted in UK

Brilliant little Chinese bakery with a good selection of delicious cakes, etc. Would definitely recommend it. Also, this place is cash only.

I’ve been coming here for at least 15 years, I can remember buying cakes from this little bakery ever since I was a child. This cafe is very comfy and nostalgic to me. The cakes are colourful and pretty, fresh and well priced. I always enjoyed them. Some other reviewers have complained that the designs and flavours aren’t cutting edge enough, but personally I much prefer these traditional Chinese cakes and pastries to all these fiddly new experimental flavours and designs that keep coming out at the moment, thats just my personal preference. If it isn’t broke don’t fix it! The banana mochi is tender and delicious and the strawberry cake is light as a feather. Usually when I come here, the vibe is very chilled out and relaxed. The decor transports me back to my childhood and makes me feel like I’m right back in early 2000s Hong Kong. It’s a charming quiet little cafe that feels very authentically Asian. It’s hard to describe exactly why it’s so nice to sit in here, but if you know, you know :)

I love this place, always busy with mostly Asian people.Cakes are delicious and staff are always so nice.

It was friendly welcome i caught them at busy time but it was well worth the visit i had mug of Kong Kong tea and I enjoyed wife's cake on the journey home I highly recommend going the section of cakes was good

Highly recommend! This is hands down the best bakery in Glasgow. Everything is made fresh daily and they use the freshest of ingredient. All the cakes and baked goods are delicious and definitely homemade. Prices are excellent and are inexpensive as the quality of goods are impeccable.

Honestly, I felt compelled to write this review about reading Cameron F's review about the bakery. For the record, I've been in Glasgow for 10 years, and have been going to this bakery every other weekend. So I've been to this bakery over a hundred times. I have NEVER had any issues like Cameron F had. It sounds like he just stared at the staff member and expected to be served rather than approaching the counter? (The counter only has space for 1 customer, so if he was there, a customer behind him couldn't have been ushered forward). Maybe next time Cameron should walk towards the counter and pay for his food? I don't know, it's very strange reading what he wrote. Anyway, the bakery is lovely. The buns and cakes are authentic hong kong style (I've been to Hong Kong quite a lot). It is DELICIOUS and the buns are very affordable. Expect to pay about £1.50 for a BIG bun. The service is what you'd expect from a chinese old school outlet. Quick, to the point, accurate. I have never had miscalculations with my money, and the staff are always polite with me and acknowledge me, since I acknowledge them first. So the takeaway is this: Go there for amazing cheap buns. Be polite and acknowledge the staff member when you approach the counter. Pay and leave. It is that easy. I'm not sure what Cameron is on about. Also, I've been to the China Court Bakery - Wah Kee Bakery is way better. It's cheaper and the buns are bigger.

Always pop in here when I can to grab BBQ Pork buns or the triangle shaped ones. One of my favorite treats.

Delicious buns and milk tea. Would go again. Lovely staff that helped translate ingredients in the baking + a useful wee chart on the wall to show what has cream, gluten, etc I recommend the pineapple coconut bun or egg tarts for something sweet and the BBQ pork bun for a savoury snack. Tables to sit in an enjoy or take your treats to go and share with friends. No doubt the best Chinese bakery in Glasgow, friendly and easy to find something delicious to eat. Would definitely go again. FYI cash only

这家中国城蛋糕店年纪大一些那个女服务员，服务态度极其恶劣。她今天少找给我10p，我询问了一下为什么，她说是袋子钱，但我没要求袋子，所以退还钱的时候她没好气地说：“10p钱掉在地上都没人捡！！！”真没见过这么不要脸的人，擅自多收客人10p钱，还骂客人穷！只要这个老女人一天还在格拉斯哥的这家中国城蛋糕店，我就一天不会再去光顾。太让人恨啦…本来这家店的蛋糕已经非常old fashion，20年前的style啦……要不是另外一家蛋糕店不好停车，我怎么会去你家店，遇到这样更年期的服务员！！！真是倒胃口！店里不肯接受信用卡，只收现金是为了逃税+少找钱吗？所以给她怼了回去：有你这样说话？做生意的人？你怎么讲话的？你有多少10p，你掉多少，我捡多少！！我应该是怒吼了几分钟，谁叫她这么欠骂的，我这暴脾气，是忍不了的[呲牙]舒爽～～～↖(^ω^)↗建议大家去另一家China Court Bakery，在附近不远的地方。停车可以停在万福行。

This place has the most delicious cakes and pastries that I've ever had in my life. I enjoyed eating everything I bought, especially custard bun and Chinese cheesecake roll. What an amazing small shop. Thanks. 💜

Amazing Chinese baked goods, lots of options of cakes, buns and breads - savoury or sweet! I tried the baked charsiew bun, pineapple bun and custard bun. Affordable prices. They serve drinks as well. It’s cash only so a bit tricky. Very authentic!

Cash only. The baking here is in the old Chinese style. The tarts, BBQ pork pastry and BBQ pork buns are all delicious! I'll be a regular visitor!

💯 % satisfaction for my crave for Hong Kong style bakery , great quality, I could not find any egg tarts in Hong Kong of better than Wah Kee , I think Mr Chris Patten should try !

This place serves the most delicious cakes. But the service is very bad, most of the staff can't speak English. So it is difficult to understand them. In addition, they do not accept payments by card.

Delicious cakes! I even got my birthday cake from here. They only need 24 hours notice and v reasonably priced. :)

Been here on two separate visits now and both the exact same occurrence with the exact same staff member. Only went again because I felt it may have just been a one time thing and my overthinking. Entered the shop and queued to be served with someone being currently served in front and someone queueing BEHIND me. On both the occasions the lady with red hair served the customer in front of me conscientiously and then when I walk up to be served, I’m completely ignored and the customer BEHIND me is ushered forward and served BEFORE I DO. Both times I make eye contact and question the situation with complete silence as the reply. Even the customers behind me that are being ushered look at me puzzled?? What on damn earth is this service discrimination? I am a young, middle aged British born Chinese professional; well dressed and mannered, no visual aspects that could cause discomfort to some people that may not like tattoos, piercings etc. There is absolutely no reason whatsoever?? This place does not deserve any custom based on this completely unprofessional customer service level - TWICE, not once during a busy period or anything but twice during a time when there’s only a three customers in the store. Exact same situation with the exact same member of staff - disgusting. Better go to China Court Bakery up the road before you fall victim as her next choice.

I don't get to go in to Glasgow often, but when I do and I get up to Chinatown it's always going to be a good day! The strawberry roll cake is delicious, all the buns are delicious and mousse cakes. They used to do a chestnut roll cake which was my ultimate favourite thing - but honestly I've never had anything I don't like. The prices are so good, and everything looks stunning!

Theee Best Chinese Bakery en Escocia. Siempre hacemos tiempo para visitar esta maravillosa panadería. La comida está fuera de este mundo. Y el personal es absolutamente maravilloso. Lo recomendaría altamente.

A word of mouth for this unexpected treasure of bakery and pastries reminiscent of my childhood. The cakes are fresh, the pastries mouth-watering!! Highly recommend! but they don't take cards so bring cash!

Considering that there isn't that much competition from other Chinese bakeries it's a safe bet you will find something you will like here. Sure enough there is lots to buy. We came after lunch, possibly a bad time as a lot stock may have already been bought or sold out. Hopefully next time we can go a bit earlier.

We often buy buns and cakes here after visiting the nearby restaurant. Stand out for us are the absolutely delicious,feather light custard tarts. Great bakery
