Great Taste Bakery
4.5 (52)bakery
A fast-paced Chinatown spot serving remarkably cheap traditional pastries, from coconut cream buns to classic egg tarts.
Description




Behind its visually run-down, hole-in-the-wall exterior, the bakery focuses on a wide, budget-friendly selection that extends to savory ham and egg buns, raisin bread, cream rolls, and Japanese cheesecake slices. The tight interior offers just three tables usually claimed by neighborhood seniors socializing. The staff prioritizes efficient, no-nonsense transactions, keeping the queue moving quickly with little patience for indecision.
