布穀鳥果子工坊

Located on Songde Road in Taipei, "Cuckoo Bird Pastry Workshop" is a bakery with a strong classical style. The shop's design is unique, with wooden decor and retro lighting that give a cozy small-town dessert shop vibe as soon as you step in. The space is not large but is very stylish, making it the kind of place where you can't help but take a second glance as you walk by, and once inside, you feel like you want to leave with a whole bag of bread and pastries.

This time, I bought the "Lattice Egg Tart."
This one truly astonished me. The crust features a delicate layered structure, with a crisp outer layer and a slightly soft inner layer, creating a clear texture distinction. The filling is rich in egg flavor, smooth and creamy, with just the right amount of sweetness—definitely not overpowering. It's a highly refined egg tart, and I should have bought a few more of them.

The "Chocolate Cookie" also performed well; it’s not overly sweet and carries a slightly bitter-sweet chocolate aroma. The cookie itself is solid yet not hard, topped with chocolate chips that add a crispy texture. It’s a perfect snack to pair with black coffee or unsweetened tea.

As for the "Tokyo Cheese," it’s a bakery item I personally highly recommend. Even when not baked, the bread is soft, delicate, and very fresh. The cheese filling is rich and aromatic without being too salty. Baking or air-frying enhances the crispness of the outer layer and elevates the aroma, making it increasingly tempting with each bite. It’s a savory bread that makes you want to repurchase.

In summary, "Cuckoo Bird Pastry Workshop" is a rare find in Taipei, combining quality and affordability in a small, charming bakery. Whether you are a dessert enthusiast, a bread lover, or simply looking for an afternoon snack, you can find satisfying choices here. Considering the surrounding prices, this place is genuinely sincere and is a local baking treasure worth visiting again and again!
