Seed Bakery 麵包籽 文興店

Located on Wenxing Road in Zhubei, Hsinchu County, "Bread Seed" is a highly popular bakery that attracts a continuous stream of customers, whether on weekdays or weekends. This time, we sampled several signature and popular items, and the overall performance was quite satisfactory, especially in the handling of crispiness and rich layers.

Sea Salt Butter Roll
One of the star products, its exterior has a slightly crispy texture, while the inside is soft and elastic. The rich butter aroma is indulgent yet not overwhelming, and the sprinkle of salty sea salt adds layers to the overall flavor. This light yet substantial texture makes it a classic taste that one would want to revisit regularly. 🥐

Crispy Egg Tart
The outer skin is distinctly layered and ultra-crisp; biting into it reveals a clear crispiness. The filling has a rich egg flavor, smooth texture, and is perfectly sweetened, making it easy for even those who usually don’t enjoy sweets to accept. This egg tart excels in its details!

Crispy Cream Puff
With a crispy exterior and a soft interior, it captures hearts effortlessly. The shell is thin and crunchy but not overly dry, complemented by the smooth custard filling that is moderately sweet without being cloying. The generous filling bursts upon a bite, providing both visual satisfaction and a delightful experience of "real ingredients."

Truffle Potato Focaccia
The base is a solid focaccia bread that has a bit of chew but is not dry or hard; the top is covered with thin slices of potato and baked cheese, and the rich truffle aroma is intoxicating. Upon tasting, the fragrance fills the mouth, making it an excellent savory choice to pair with a cup of black coffee.

Although Bread Seed often requires queuing, the products in the shop display a high standard in terms of ingredients, baking techniques, and flavor levels. With a mix of sweet and savory items, whether you are a butter lover, cheese enthusiast, or an egg and dairy vegetarian, you will surely find a flavor you like.
