damnlines hasn't pointed a lens at Tai Pan Bakery yet. The most-wanted lines get a camera first.
Tai Pan Bakery has 'consistently long lines,' per a Tripadvisor reviewer, driven by its reputation for the best pineapple buns (boluo bao) and egg custard tarts in the city, with trays selling out fast to keep everything fresh.
Because items move quickly, the line itself tends to move fast too, per the same review, and the bakery is a regular stop for Flushing tour groups, adding to the steady foot traffic on Main Street.
