Chinese bakery

Came by to grab some buns for a shared lunch. We grabbed a few different ones and there were so many to choose from. All sound interesting and tasty. The one I was interested in was the egg yolk bun and the taro one.Both were slightly disappointing. The filling was very thin and lacked flavour. The bread was nice but without the nice filling, it's just bread.

I used to come here very often, i love this bakery.

Lovely customer service, cute store with yummy cakes and drinks. Milk tea was a bit sweet but overall everything was good. Will definitely come back many times.

I been there to buy a birthday cake for my hubby and was so friendly staff help me.She help to got the cake quicker than what is supposed to. I need urgently and she really help me out, so I don't need to wait for few hours to get the cake done.Price is a bit expensive then the regular small cake but I think it's worth it with the service and taste..Also they have so many kinds of buns or 'ready to go' bread for such a good price.Definitely will come by again..

Update 5/23 very amazing Asian cakes done perfectly with delicious cream!!The largest Chinese bakery I've been to, with a well presented and large variety of breads and goods that my eyes have ever laid upon. The place also smells sweet and carries that authentic Chinese bread smell (if u know,know). Slightly pricey for the portion but definitely a treat yourself moment. They have a wide range of items, all so beautiful and so many taro goodies to choose from!! Ahhh taro paradise.Got a salted matcha red bean, motley taro, taro q polo, taro Filipino (see a slight trend?), green tea choconut. Would love to try their moon cakes next time! And from staff recommendations the Boston milky and savory pork flake bun/roll (which I didn't get since I've had them before from other stores). Speaking of staff, they weresuper friendly and helpful!! I got an egg tart too (heard good things!). Total came to be 7 items for 27.20, not as bad as I thought, and with such unique items I'm happy to pay the price. Quality wise let's find out.The egg tart had the thickest crust I've ever had, and I kind of liked that, normally used to flaky crusts but I did enjoy the different texture of this. The egg filling was tastyand a good portion. Wasn't too sweet, too eggy or liquid-y. Best I've ever had though? Nah, these are still similar to ones I've had at other bakeries and at yum cha! 3/5 sinceit didn't quite live up to hype.Salted matcha red bean-a new product, has a faint matcha flavor with red bean swirled throughout. Not bad, but would like a bit more red bean to bring out the flavor.Soft bread, but does not quite melt in the mouth. Did enjoy the matcha essence paired with red bean though! 3/5Motley taro has a hard doughy swirl layer which was just soft bread, but a generous sweet taro filling which made up for the doughy bread. 3/5Taro q polo, similar to motley with the same bread taste and filling expect that it had an additional slightly crusted surface. It was slightly crusty but not so much that itbrought another interesting texture to the bread. Could've had potential though. Liked more than motley. 3.2/5Taro Filipino was described to me as a thicker bread, and they were not wrong. However he bread taste has a bit more of a slight hint of cheese (perhaps?) that made itdiffer slightly from the other soft breads. 3/5Green tea choconut bread was a bit staler compared to the others, but was made interesting by the green tea layer which was slightly crunchy. The redeeming featurewas the choconut filling which was very airy and moussey, sweet and enhanced the bread. 3.5/5Boston milky describes as slightly cheesecake-y, I didn't know what to expect as to me it looked like a denseboring sponge. Instead I was greeted with a soft bread and a well rationed creamy and sweet yet ever so slightly cheesy filling. Not bad but again, not wowed, it did havethe softest bread though. 3.5/5Would I go again? If I'm really craving Chinese bakery goods then yes, to try more of their items, but otherwise I would probably check out other just as large Chinese bakeries!

I ventured into Asian specialty patisserie, La Couronne in CBD, to peruse the various beautiful baked goods.Staff was very friendly and the shop layout was so beautiful so I ended up buying a durian cheese cake and coconut custard bun. All cakes and sweets are plastic wrapped for freshness and my purchases were lovely, delicate and delicious. If you like Asian gateaux or sweet slices and buns, this is your place!

I have only ever bought pies or sausage rolls and have always found them to be full of really nice flavours of pastry & fillings. Great selection of food to choose from overall. However due to their busy popularity they really need to find a bigger premises as access is very congested around lunchtime.Steve FranklinRotorua

Had the sweet lamb curry pie and creamymushroom, bacon and cheese pie. Absolutely delicious, generous with ingredients. There is quite a bit of pastry (which is delicious and not to greasy), so it can be quite filling.

I can see why these Pies are the best around, all the awards that this bakery have won speaks volumes of the passion that goes into baking every delicious pie.The amount of people that streamed in out and out of this establishment shows how much the public appreciates a good Pie.They cater to everybodies tastes, and they offer a wider range of hot meals and some real tasty looking deserts also.Will gladly recommend Patricks Pies to everybody.

Great selection of sweet and savory bread and pastries. Everything looks very cute and appetizing! Lots of variety to choose from. Today my choice was oreo bread and Boston cream bread. I am very excited to try.
