Bakery Announces Permanent Closure on Sunday
The bakery published an official statement on social media titled a bittersweet end to our story,
according to the post. The statement thanked customers for supporting the business through various milestones. Since opening our doors in 2023, we have had the privilege of being part of so many special moments, birthdays, anniversaries, and celebrations,

East-Meets-West Dessert Concept Created by MasterChef Canada Winner
Christopher Siu, winner of Season 7 of MasterChef Canada, founded Daan Go to bridge eastern and western baking traditions. The name derives from the Cantonese word for cake. In an earlier interview with the Richmond News, Siu explained that his objective was to formulate recipes that balanced the sweetness levels of different cultural styles. He sought a product positioned between mass-market offerings that he found excessively sweet and traditional Chinese bakery items that he considered too light.
Expansion History and Future Operations in Ontario
The Richmond storefront opened in April 2023, while the Vancouver location followed later in August 2025. Despite the closure of both British Columbia branches, the enterprise maintains other storefronts, including four locations in the Toronto area. Daan Go was reached for comment on why the chain is ceasing business in B.C.
