Hip Pun Xī Pí Miàn Bāo - Taipei

Sweet little bakery and caffe. their pineapple (an HK institution) are fluffy, crispy and delightful. I can't even find vegan pineapple beans in their birthplace, but they have them in this bakery amazing.

Big range, fully vegan, super tasty. At the time I visited there was a little stall on the front deck selling 'mushyaki ' balls which were also delicious. Went back after lunch and bought more for the next day 's breakfast

Loved the soft, fluffy, creamy salted butter beans. also their Taiwanese style croissant (not European style) crunch outside, soft inside, symmetrical shape.

The bakery offers a variety of breads, including options with sweet fillings like taro and mochi, as well as varieties topped with vegan cheese or meat. I always end up purchasing more than I can eat in one sitting. Additionally, there is a friendly cat that roams around the shop greeting customers.

I had heard about Hip Pun, a popular vegan bakery, for some time and finally had the opportunity to visit. While it is not directly located at the MRT station, it is just a short 10-minute walk away (bus stops are also nearby). They have a great variety of broths available and in the morning, there is a counter with discounted bread from the day before. I even purchased a lovely candle while I was there.
