Tai Pan Bakery
4.3 (1,247)bakery
A bustling Chinatown bakery loved for light, fluffy buns and a standout selection of flaky, cookie-crust, and Portuguese egg tarts.
Description




Beyond the signature tarts, the counters hold a wide variety of single-serving buns stuffed with roast pork, taro, or red bean, alongside Swiss roll slices and mochi. The baked goods are notably fresh and not overly sweet. However, securing your order means braving a hectic paper-order system that can get confusing and slow during peak hours. Because the indoor seating area is tiny, most visitors take their pastries to go.
