Rude staff, and their bread to expensive

Definitely tasty, the bakery here is excellent and has some dishes that other bakeries in the area do not. Typical Taiwanese bakeries, the sugar is a little lower so it tastes better and they have a pretty good bubble tea too. They do take credit card over $10. The taro buns and the moon pastries are excellent. They have a mochi pork floss bun that is excellent as well.

Probably the best bakery in Chinatown IMO. Their Pastel de natas are one of the best in the city.

I came across this bakery by chance and I really fell in love! Wide choice, everything looked appetizing. Everything we took was good, the quantities very generous and the prices really fair. The sellers are nice and let us look quietly, which I find very appreciable. I recommend !

Ive come here twice and enjoyed the baked goods. Not the cheapest in chinatown.
Cakes mostly seem taiwanese, they have some flavors like coffee or chocolate but nothing is too sweet. Coconut tarts were good and the buns were nice.

Don’t come here. Don’t give them your business. They don’t deserve to be in business. They’ll sell you rotten, moldy pastry, fermented fruit fillings, etc. This happened more than once, and I’m not the type of person who demands a refund, so I let it slide. Oh, and did I mention the attitude of the women working here? They are worse than the moldy pastry. I was a long-time customer of Taiwan Bakery, but after the final straw and awful patronizing encounter with them, I will never be back again.
You can find the same bread and pastry from six bakeries in close proximity. Taiwan Bakery doesn’t bake those items themselves; they all get them from the same supplier. So take your business to literally any other store and don’t buy anything from Taiwan bakery.

One of my favorite Asian bakeries. Everything is fresh and high quality. I indulge in their taro buns and their sponge cakes and cheesecakes are wonderful too. Light and airy and not to sweet!

This was my last stop in Chinatown and it was unplanned. On my way out, I realized I had forgotten to get an egg tart; something highly recommended! I stopped in here and was immediately greeted by two women who were very nice. I ended up getting a custard bun, BBQ Pork bun, pineapple moon cake, and an egg tart.Everything I've had so far has been so good! Definitely make this place a stop!

A Rancid Delight: A Cautionary Tale of Rotten Cake, and broken trust.Picture, if you will, the most promising of desserts, adorned with deceptive innocence, yet harboring a malevolent secret within its sugary facade. This abomination parades itself as a cake, but in reality, it is a harbinger of taste bud torment.Let me take you on a journey of bad pastry and worse customer service. It all started with my wife's birthday, she wanted a special cake; the ones you can only get in Chinatown, where there is nice soft cake with layers of fruit and not overly sweet icing. I went to Tai Wan bakery, bought an assortment of red bean and taro pastries and then spent $42 on a cake. We brought the cake home, put some candles in it, cut some pieces and handed them out to our guests and the birthday girl. The first bite, I thought maybe I had made a mistake, but alas, the taste persisted with the second (and last) bite— the taste was a symphony of decay, a cacophony of fermented fruit that danced upon the palate with all the grace of a drunken reveler stumbling in the dark.I struggle to comprehend how such a culinary atrocity could have come into existence. Was it the result of a malevolent baker's machinations, or merely the product of sheer incompetence? Alas, the answer remains elusive, lost amidst the wreckage of shattered expectations and broken dreams.To our disgust and embarrassment, the cake was bitter, inedible and even left some guests sick. I immediately put the cake away and threw away the slices we had already given out.The next morning I called the bakery and the owner/manager apologized and told me that yes, sometimes some of the fruit may go bad and said "come in, we will give you another cake/make it better."It took a few days before I could get back in and once again, I called before I drove in and once again verified that they would give me a refund, or another cake, I even brought the remainder of the cake so they could see for themselves. I arrived at the store and they informed me that they could not refund me or give me another cake since it was "half eaten". Was I supposed to ask all the guests to give me back their slices and then return them to the box? They offered me some other small pastries in exchange; I originally bought a $40 cake, I expected an edible cake, not a pastry abomination that tasted like rotting grapes, left me humiliated, and my guests sick to their stomachs. The only redeeming feature about the cake was that it looked nice, but for sure don't judge a book by its cover, or in this case, a cake by its frosting.There are lots of other options for bakeries in Chinatown, I encourage people to shop elsewhere.
Parking: lol @ parking in Boston Chinatown.
Wheelchair accessibility: There are a few steps to get in, for sure not wheelchair accessible.
