The Ipoh Bakery

Cheap, Nostalgic yet delicious buns & pastries

Went there at around 9am. Bought randomly n we found that all items were super delicious! The puffs had delicate textures n airy even after eating 4 hours later..filling of sardines n curry chicken were perfect! The random buns were nice too..we also bought longan jelly for the kids..its not too sweet n refreshing. A must try in taiping 👍🏻

Bakeries and pastry shops are now a dime a dozen, with so many offering pastries from literally around the world. In Taiping, this long standing institution (established in 1918 says the packaging) still draws in droves of people to the shop, with offerings that have not changed in almost 100 years! Their cream roll is the one that Taiping residents would have sampled sometime in their childhood, and is still on sale today.

Along the busy Jalan Taming Sari sits Ipoh Bakery. You can't really miss it as there will always be one or two Indian bread vendors who are outside the shop also selling bread at all times. Parking is quite easy to obtain.

You may have thought from the size of the signboard that the shop encompasses both lots, however, it only takes one - the other being the bakery itself and also it's administrative offices. When I got there, there was a never ending parade of workers taking out trays and trays of freshly baked breads and pastries, some to be displayed in the shop, some to hand off to the bread vendors waiting outside.

The shop is quite modest in size, but packs in a lot of different offerings. Prices are cheap - and you can be assured of finding something interesting to satisfy your sweet tooth there. Also do try their Black Pepper Chicken Pie and their Roti Kelapa.

wonderful place, great bakery smells of fresh pastries and bread.
friendly service. good value. the tarts and cookies are fantastic. You must stop here when in taiping.

Tried the lesser common bread selections such as chicken onion, chicken curry toast & hokkaido cheese tart; sounds common but the tart shell is taller and happy to announce all are scrumptious. Their magnum rolls look tempting & was told it’s worth the buzz. Will try that next time.

Went there during covid. We have to queue for the protocol that only allow few people in which is very good. The smells of pastries from outside is sooo good. All the pastries that we try are good. The chicken pizza bread is my favourite for savory since it is loaded with toppings and taste very good. The chocolate cake with oreo is my fav dessert here, the sweetness is not overwhelming. The custard bread is sooo soft which i lovee so much. The egg tart is also marvelous. Thank you for making my tummy happy 😊

It's a stall placed outside, with all the ipoh bakery's products. It was very conventional but taste superb! Love their apricot walnut wholemeal loaf. Authentic! Keep up the good work! 🥰

The 5-star rating is for its chicken pie which is extremely tasty and the filling extremely generous (less than RM5). Can’t find this anywhere nowadays. The butter cake is moist and buttery. In fact, everything here is buttery! Am loving it! Keep it up for the next 100 years!

Recommended to try out the pandan cake and ondeh cake. Great price for its taste. And suggest it call up to make reservations before hand to avoid disappointment ☺

Friendly and warm place. Visit there couple of times.. multiracial workers and bake good cakes and patisseries. A place where you can feel at home..desserts are not too sweet, not too bland also. Just nice. Pricing? Its affordable. It might not be the cheapest but it is ok. Good food, good people and good place. It is cleaned and elegant also. Would recommend people to come and taste their desserts when they come to Taiping.

Oh and have i also mentioned? They also make beautiful and aesthetic cakes.

Good place to shop for daily fresh bread!

Authentic bakery in Taiping town. must visit. various pastries to choose from.

The pastries were DIVINE. A bite down memory lane. Flavours were spot on and delicious. A very rare gem indeed.

Their normal chicken pie and black pepper pie are nice. Likewise, their pandan layer cake also nice.

Nice cakes and pastries. Reasonable prices

Old but goldie. Softest bread you can find in the town with affordable price for breads and cakes. Cakes are delicious too

Taiping all time favourite!!

Try the 1.60rm chocoball...mmm and the butter cake which makes a delicious base to add your own icing and or fruits topping.

They have best kaya buns. It's really tasty. Their mayonise buns are luscious.

For me this is the best bakery in Taiping town.
The bread are soft and nice! The cake are well decorated!
