Tai Pan Bakery - Croydon

I go here all the time never seems to disappoint. A highlight of my day. I love going here and trying the wide variety of buns and cakes.

Chinese pastry treats are sometimes disgustingly good . If you are watching your weight do not enter (at your peril)some are western sweet some have different flavour ENJOY

Lots of delightful buns and cakes.The Moon Cake is very good.Prices are agreeable. Take away prices are different from eating in.

Having shopped in the Wing Yip centre for over 20 years this bakery has had the best yummiest buns on the planet, fantastic savoury and sweet fillings and just lovely and want you want. Excellent Chinese bakery

Was really looking forward to visiting this place and travel over an hour in journey time. My husband decided to go ahead and order to sit in with my daughter while I went to find a toilet as none provided on their bakery premises. have to go into the wing yip supermarket next door). I returned and ordered a bottled drink and 4 different buns to take away. I was getting ready to shop next door and wanting to get going. My husband decided to call me over to try one of the buns that he choose so I sat down next to him and tried a small piece of his bun. I then took a sip out of my bottle of drink due to dry mouth from a recent cold, then put the cap on and put it down. I then tended to my daughter who was sitting in her pushchair and did not want to eat. I then started to get ready to go seeing as she didn 't want any food that my husband had already purchased. The lady who had served me gave me an an evil dirty look making me feel very uncomfortable. The lady then started to shout at me in a horrible toned voice to say that I needed to pay to sit price. I told her that I was with my husband and daughter for a few minutes and my husband already paid. The lady continued to shout saying that eating in was a different price for takeaway. I couldn 't believe that taking a sip of drink from a bottle and trying a tiny piece of bun purchased from their own shop was eating in. My husband was so upset by this that he didn 't finish his tea and decided we should go due to the humiliating way she was shouting at me in front of other customers and my daughter. I feel that this was uncalled for seeing as between us, we spent enough money and truly feel that if she could have physically pushed me out, she would have. This place seem to be interested in making money and have little interest in customer care or experience. The lady was evidently snappy and taking a greedy approach for me taking a sip from my drink which is sad. Overall the experience was unwelcoming, unaccommodating and unfriendly. Prices are high. They need to define and write clearly what 'eating in ' is especially as they don 't provide toilet facilities on their own premises and charge to eat in!!!
