Great vegan option in Taipei! - Edit
Really enjoyed a slice of the homemade pesto pizza and carrot cake I tried from this bakery. Friendly staff and small but cozy environment - worth a visit!

Nice selection of baked goods, their lemon cake was nice.
Read moreLatte is at NT80 to NT100, it's really worth it considering the size!
*4yrs later update(Nov'2024), they are Hipizza now. Cinnamon buns, scones, biscuits and cakes are still available.
Nice spot to chill.

LOVE - Edit
I was luckily staying a short walk away from this place on my recent trip in Taipei so I went three times! I loved the earl grey and maple roll and the jasmine and blueberry roll. It’s perfect to pick something up to take with you and the staff were sooo lovely! They remembered my coffee order everytime!

Amazing Selection - Edit
I was in awe at all of the different vegan breads and desserts they had to offer. I ended up getting a few, and enjoyed them all, even though I only took two pictures. Some of the descriptions had the word vegan, and others did not, so I got confused if only some breads were vegan, but I confirmed with the person working there that everything they sell is vegan, so that is awesome! I would definitely consider coming by and having a piece or two (or more to go!), as many of these breads I have never seen before in the states. I will need to come back before I leave Taipei to try more of their selections!

Lovely Baked Goods - Edit
We visited this bakery many times during our stay in Taipei! Here are a few of the items we tried:
Read moreThe ham and garlic bun tasted exactly as it should - plenty of ham and garlic! We enjoyed this one.
The meat floss bun wasn't too exciting, unfortunately. The bread was good, but the small meat pieces tasted a little sweet and we would have preferred bigger chunks.
The earl grey and maple bun was sweet and delicious. The tea flavour was a little subtle, but pleasant.
The scones were the only item we tried that were not perfectly baked - the chocolate ones were a bit too crumbly for us. The cranberry scone had a better texture. Flavour-wise, everything was good!
We really loved this bakery and highly recommended it. It kept us well stocked up for breakfast and packed lunches on our trip, and even when we visited within the last hour before closing there was always still a decent selection.

Great selection of tasty breads and treats - Edit
We went to hip pun 3 times to get treats for the evening and breakfast the next day so we tried a lot of different things. All the breads were lovely and soft and kept well for the next day.
Read moreThe black pepper with tofu was the standout savoury. There was plenty of soft and moist tofu inside with lots of black pepper giving it a good bit of kick, the seasoning was excellent. The ham and rosemary snail was well flavoured and generous with ham. The maple mustard ham was tasty, it had a good amount of ham and cheese inside but there wasn't a lot of flavour from the cheese, the topping worked and it was nicely balanced. The sea salt butter bun was a bit disappointing, the salty butter was all concentrated in one spot, maybe this would have benefitted from being heated up so the butter would melt and spread more.
The egg yolk and taro bun was enjoyable, I'm not really sure what taro is but took a punt on it and the sweet taro worked well with the savoury flavour from the yolk. The cinnamon roll was good, it was big and generously filled. It's not the best I've had but it was good. The cranberry chocolate bread was big, it was filled with a chocolate spread and the cranberries added nice juicy pops of sweetness and sharpness. The chocolate cake bread was a piece of chocolate cake with a layer of chocolate bread baked around it. It was decadent and enjoyable. The chocolate filled bread was okay, the chocolate cream filling was smooth and rich but it wasn't very well distributed throughout making the narrow not very well filled part a bit dull.
The basque cheesecake was tasty, I enjoyed the slightly savoury element and different texture from the egg yolk sections (these egg yolks remind me of hard boiled yolks rather than runny ones). The salted caramel cake was tasty and sweet, I didn't notice much salt. There were 3 layers packed in there so it was a bit slippery and slidy as I tried to get my little fork into it. The chocolate brownie was tasty but was more cake than brownie with good chunks of nuts in there. The sesame cake wasn't quite sweet enough but the bake was good and the cream smooth. The french pudding tart had good pastry and a lovely smooth filling. The chocolate mousse was great, very decadent with a great texture and the chocolate flakes on top were a good addition.
Not everything was quite to our tastes but I recommend it to anyone who wants to try a good range of different breads.

Fabulous cinnamon roll - Edit
Had a delicious cinnamon roll. I went as soon as they opened. Just be aware they usually open later than you might expect for a bakery.

Très bon... - Edit
Excellentes viennoiseries vegan. Alors bien sûr il ne faut pas s'attendre à y trouver des viennoiseries françaises avec la pâte feuilletée qui nous caractérise. C'est plutôt quelque choses de similaire aux pains au lait mais encore plus moelleux et fondant en bouche et les portions sont généreuses et super bien garnies. Ils font également une glace que je n'ai pas pensé à prendre en photo mais qui était très bonne, ainsi qu'une crème flan caramel. Question viennoiseries, le compromis est vraiment très bien et cette boutique vaut vraiment le détour. Mon seul regret, et c'est la pâtissière qui parle, c'est que la pâte de base est la même pour toutes et qu'il n'y ait pas de choix avec pâte feuilletée. Le flan été un peu compact aussi mais après c'est une question de goût, d'autres aime quand c'est plus crémeux. J'ai également pris leur Kombucha mangue-passion, bien que j'ai l'habitude d'en consommer en France et malheureusement il avait un p'tit goût vinaigre, je pense qu'il a dû trop fermenter, dommage. Toujours est-il que c'est la 3eme fois que je viens à Taipei et donc "x" fois que je me dois d'aller dans cette boulangerie lors de mes séjours ici. Alors si vous avez l'occasion d'aller à Taipei, n'hésitez pas, allez-y les yeux fermés.

It's okay - Edit
It is always nice to catch a vegan bakery, especially here in Taiwan since most of the bread in supermarkets contains eggs/milk. There is a huge abundance of choices here so I took some time to make my decision. Eventually I went with the sweet cream bread (they also have a large variety of savory bread items, the sweet cream bread was 50TWD). The day after I came back and tried a chocolate cake bread (70TWD) It does the job of fixing that sweet craving but I wish the bread tasted a little bit more fresh. In a way it felt like I just bought a sweet bread from the supermarket. The cream was not as creamy as I would have liked and the chocolate bread was nice but could have been better.
Read moreIt could also be that this is just the way the Taiwanese like their bread. I did not like the fact that everything was packed in plastic, this made it feel even more like a supermarket option. I think if you crave some bread after a long time this is a good option, but it is not a wonderworld.

Lovely bakery with interesting flavors! - Edit
A good spot to visit for some light fluffy buns; both savory and sweet! Most items are individually packaged and about 60twd, so pretty easy to grab a bunch of rolls for the day if you’re going on a hike or something!

Yummy vegan bakery - Edit
I used to come here a few times a week when I lived in Taipei. I lived just a 20 minute walk from this place which was dangerous. Their bread is so darn good. I came by and picked up a few things of bread to take on my flight. On the outside the bread looks like nothing special but there was a yummy filling in some of the bread that I got which took each bite to the next level. I forgot how good this place was. Wish I bought more to take home! Darn! Until next time!

Vegan bakery - Edit
This vegan bakery, surprisingly, lacks a proper coffee machine, choosing instead to focus on a milk teas and other beverages.
Read moreI liked their black sesame cake as it wasn’t too sweet. The matcha scone and cinnamon roll however were both too dry.

It was heaven for a vegan like me! The fact that we don’t need to check whether a bread or pastry contains milk, egg, or butter is less of a hassle for me. They already did it for us.

The chocolate cake in a chocolate bun was tasty and not to sweet. The black sesame bun was good too, a bit sweet (don't know if it's supposed to be sweet or savory).

A plethora of bready options, but too much plastic! - Edit
There's a ridiculous range of baked goods to choose from, with many unique flavors too. Everything we bought was super light and fluffy, but the stand out for me was the lemon cake encased in a cherry bun -- so creative and tasty!
Read moreThe only thing I really don't like is that every single product is wrapped in plastic (unless I'm wrong and it's all biodegradable plant-made packaging). There has to be a better way.

Cute little bakery with a ton of options. Even the savory things are sweet. Almost all buns are the brioche kind worh different flavors and fillings. Park nearby. Soymilk drinks made with unsweetened homestyle milk with strong bean flavor.

Vegan bakery near Songjiang Nanjing - Edit
Great bakery offering a variety of baked goods, desserts and drinks to go, all vegan. Since it's quite close to the Songjiang Nanjing MRT station, it's convenient to get to. Only side note, all the baked goods are really quite sweet, even the salty ones, but that's bread in Taiwan for you, just not my personal preference.

Delicious! - Edit
We got there right before closing and just grabbed a bunch of stuff that they had left. Everything was so good. My wife's aunt (who has lived in Taipei for decades) said their pineapple cake was the best she's ever had! I will definitely go back the next time I'm in Taipei. If you're vegan, this is a must visit.

Sicilian lemon coffee is amazing here. The cinnamon roll and custard bun are my favourites, the hot dog was too sweet for me. Has a small seating area outside too.

Cool place all vegan - Edit
I wasn’t a fan of the sweet soft breads (tried 3 different ones) but it just isn’t my things I guess. I’ve heard the cinnamon rolls are amazing so I would come back to try those
