Wonderful Patisserie

What Wonderful Patisserie is in Chinatown

Wonderful Patisserie is a Chinese bakery and snack shop at 45 Gerrard Street, in Soho's Chinatown. Visitors come for a counter of freshly baked buns, cakes and pastries alongside shelves of imported Asian snacks. It is a practical stop for anyone who wants an inexpensive bite while walking through the area, or a celebration cake to take away. The shop sits on the main pedestrianised stretch of Gerrard Street, among the restaurants and supermarkets that define the district.

The bakery trades daily and keeps long hours, typically from late morning until mid evening, which makes it useful both for an afternoon snack and for something later in the day. It accepts card payments.

What to buy at this Gerrard Street bakery

The range covers both baked goods and packaged items. On the baking side you will find Hong Kong style egg custard tarts and Portuguese style tarts, soft buns, Swiss rolls and a selection of Chinese style cakes and pastries. Seasonal items appear through the year, including ornamental Momoyama mooncakes around the mid autumn festival, plus bean-filled pastries such as red bean and mung bean varieties.

Alongside the bakery counter, Wonderful Patisserie stocks imported snacks and nibbles that are harder to find elsewhere, including Taiwanese jackfruit chips, bamboo charcoal peanuts and Hello Panda biscuits. The shop also takes orders for custom celebration cakes, which is worth knowing if you are nearby and planning ahead.

Visiting Wonderful Patisserie in Soho

The shop is easy to reach on foot. It is a short walk from Leicester Square station, and Piccadilly Circus is also close by. Because Gerrard Street is pedestrianised, you can browse the window displays without traffic, and the bakery makes a quick stop while exploring the rest of Chinatown. Prices are modest, which suits a casual visit or a grab-and-go snack rather than a sit-down meal.

The bakery suits visitors who want to try Chinese and wider East Asian baked goods in a single counter, and who appreciate the imported snacks on the same shelves. For anyone spending time in Soho's Chinatown, it is a straightforward and central place to pick up tarts, buns and cakes.
