Le Ruban Pâtisserie — Restaurant in Da'an District

Never ever disappoints when it comes to cakes and sweet pastries! Every season, they roll out new flavors that always keep me coming back for more. And every time I try something new, it’s a hand-on-chest, jaw-dropping moment—seriously, so good! This patisserie truly makes some of the best cakes in Taipei, hands down. Not only do they taste amazing, but they also look absolutely stunning.

Pre-ordering is pretty easy, though during festive seasons, the queues can get a bit long. Even so, it’s never been a bad experience for me—it’s well worth the wait! Everything in their chilled display case, from cakes, cheesecakes, roll cakes, and mille-feuille to puddings, is just wow. I’ve never bought anything that felt just okay—EVERY single piece has been a delight.

On the other hand, I once tried their genmaicha soft serve and wasn’t a huge fan. It was a bit too sweet with a watery texture. As for their cookies, I’ve tried a few, and while they weren’t bad, they just weren’t my thing. It’s just a personal preference.

But let’s talk about the Salted Egg Yolk Red Bean Pastry—OH MY GWAD. Mind-Blown. The texture was insanely well thought out, from the crispy exterior to the perfectly balanced filling. You can tell they use top-quality ingredients, and the flavors were just spot-on. Honestly, the best I’ve ever had—absolutely incredible. I really want to share it with my love ones.💖

As for the service, the staff in-store can feel a little stiff, maybe because it’s always busy. They’re not the friendliest, but when I once left a comment, they responded quickly and said they’d improve. On my latest visit, they did seem much warmer—so I really appreciate that. Not only do they make fantastic pastries, but they genuinely care about their customers. They even provide free water in front of the door, which is such a thoughtful touch.

Just a heads-up—this isn’t really a place to sit and eat. They have a small standing table and a couple of outdoor seats for a quick bite, but it’s more of a takeaway spot. So, best to grab your goodies and enjoy...

Cakes are okay but the service and operation are purely stupid. They tried to remodel and changed the wait line couple times but have not solved the main issue. The store is quite small and you have to get in line for literally everything- good luck on getting the cake you want after getting through a long line. I witnessed couple ppl and experienced myself waiting for a long time and cakes ended up sold out. That said, you have no choice but waiting in line to find out what’s left when it’s your turn. Somehow it’s hard for they to use an iPad to take orders for customers in line to figure out demand lol. Employees look like they have no idea what’s going on (feel quite bad for ppl dining inside for no service at all). Operation is slow and employees just look okay and used to customers getting mad or lost at bad ops or service lol personally think there are many similar stores in the area with...

Worst Services A nice cake shop spoiled by bad manner staff and only suited for Take Away only. Just went there with my family (4 of us) yesterday to have a tea. By the time we walked in, all tables are occupied and the girl at counter said we have to wait for at least an hour. And we can sit outside ( 2 tables serving 8 peoples) where we didn't need to wait. So we queued up to buy the cakes (5 cakes) and the same girl remind her colleagues to charge us 10% service charges. While we sat and going to enjoy the cakes. The girl told us to move to next tables as there are clients needed the table. We refused and said we would finished very soon. But she insisted and at last they only changed our chairs to serve the other clients (5 girls). Since the weather is very hot yesterday, it is no good to eat (especially cakes) outside as they...
