Interesting Pastries in Kaohsiung?

Wondering if anybody has any recommendations in Kaohsiung for bakeries/pastry shops with interesting or particularly delicious foodstuffs.

In particular, I am looking for things on the sweeter and more unique side - for example, not a fan of simple breads/buns, but Donutes just recently was selling “creme brulee bread” which was a crusty bread in a bowl shape filled with creme brulee that was quite good; besides that kind of thing (being sweeter and more unique), those small-sizes pastries they often display in the windows are right up my alley. Not a bit fan of “traditional” stuff you can get in the west like basically the entire assortment of cake slices that 85C sells.

I mainly know about the main chain places that appear in Google maps or are prominent in department store basements:

  • Pasadena
  • DONQ
  • Donutes (my favorite so far, by far - so many interesting things)
  • Auma
  • Mini One (albeit highly specialized)
  • Master Fang
  • Mr. Mark (not much there for my tastes)
  • It’s David (pared down version of Donutes)
  • 85C
  • Butter a Lee

I’d love to know if there are any chains here that I missed - and maybe more importantly, independently owned bakeries that sell interesting, delicious, and/or unique pastries in the Kaohsiung area?

Those sticky buns look rreeeeeaaaaallly good!

Facebook says they’re only open one day a week, Google says only W-F

They have a mobile stall they set up in front of the closed Carrefour across from the University hospital. Call them, they speak English.

L’atelier de pain is great. Good European-style breads and pastries. https://goo.gl/maps/BEoh8CoFQ4gKAyPE7

Hmm, thanks for the recommendation! I saw it on Maps but would have skipped it because the pictures weren’t too interesting. Back on the table now!
