Tai Pan Bakery in Croydon

Awful experience. Avoid at all cost. Ordered 4 bubble tea which cost £14.50. 3 were strawberry and lychee and 1 was mango and strawberry. It was just water plus a strawberry/ mango powder with sugar a few pieces of ice which you can barely see. Not even cold. Not even mixed properly because you can still see the powder at the bottom. Staff attitude are very rude, difficult to understand a simple order.

Quite expensive now but the quality is better than it used to be, and as long as you go on a weekday the cakes and buns are probably better than you'll get in Chinatown. Weirdly the weekend bakers aren't as good. You can get yesterday's buns at a cheap price as well, they will bag them and sell them the next day.Don't expect English customer service i.e. fake smiles all the time. The ladies in here are not English - they will treat you the way an East Asian mum would! That is, ask what you want, take the money, end transaction. It's not unfriendly but it's not like they're trying to be besties either.I think they prefer mask wearing right now but not sure it's compulsory for service. The time people here are moaning about bein told to leave was during the pandemic and there was a huge sign on the door saying "two people at a time" so... Maybe read signs 😂

They've got most classic Chinese pastries you know of, have been getting food from here for years now. As per usual, very tasty, friendly staff, pretty cakes, and they also do bubble tea! But not like milky tea, the popping bubbles tea :p

Awful service! Ignored by the counter staff, dry products, over priced, avoid at all costs. However, if you revel in being ignored, spoken over and disrespected, come here.

Was an utter disappointment 10 years ago and has got worse today… cocktail buns (coconut buns) are terrible, dry bread, dry coconut filling, and at nearly 2 quid a pop?? Poor service, and the staff seem more concerned with saving 20p for a box by squeezing as many items into one box as possible when clearly a second box is required… especially given the extortionate price per item I think a box each would still keep the business in profit… AVOID AT ALL COSTS THE WORST EVER!!

Really disappointed with the buns. They are not cheap at £1.70 a piece but it is mostly dough and a thin layer of coconut. The red bean bun was worse. 2 tablespoon of red bean in a palm sized bun. I guess i should have read the reviews before getting :(

Terrible disgusting impolite customer service, especially the old counter lady was shouting to the couple let them out coz it’s only allow 2 persons in the shop at a time.Price raised but size gone smaller.☹️

I always visit when at Wing Yip, great array of Chinese style cakes, buns, custard tarts, char Sui etc.One slight criticism I would love to see more Fruit in the fruit buns!

One of the best Chinese bakeries. Everything is made on the day and always fresh. Authentic baked goods that have never disappointed. You can even get discounts, either multi-buy or simply because it's the end of the day. Occasionally leftovers from the previous day are available at half price too.Try the pork buns for lunch or afternoon snack, or coconut cream rolls as a sweet alternative. Lotus or red bean paste tray bakes are packed full of flavour, or you can try moon cakes.In the summer there is soy bean drink and fresh tofu as well. All at priced at £1-£2.
