NOZOMI BAKERY 禾波制所 師大店

Hello everyone, I'm the little frog 🐸
Located at the corner of Shida Park, "Nozomi Bakery & Patisserie" is a bakery brand under the Yangxin Dining Group. There are currently two branches in Taipei: the flagship store in Shida and the Songjiang store.

The overall style of the shop is minimalist, without an overly large prominent sign, which makes it easy to miss. Outside the store, there are plants of varying heights, creating a naturally lush green ambiance. Inside, the space is clean and bright, paired with wooden bread display cabinets, giving it a fresh and tidy feel.

The store sells a variety of items including sandwiches, meal buns, Japanese bread, toast, Taiwanese bread, European bread, as well as room temperature or refrigerated pastries and custom cakes, with many options available.
There are several flavors of salt croissants, such as cheese, chocolate, pineapple, cheese, red bean, peanut, etc. There are even special flavors like cinnamon caramel salt croissant, wasabi salt croissant, hibiscus salt croissant, and peeled chili salt croissant.

⭐️ Salt Croissant $25
(Ingredients: Showa CDC French flour / homemade cultivated Leaven / New Zealand salted butter / salt flower from Chiayi Zhounan salt field)
The taste is slightly salty and slightly sweet, just right, not greasy, with a simple, unpretentious yet chewy texture.

⭐️ Cheese Salt Croissant $28
(Ingredients: Showa CDC French flour / Leaven / New Zealand salted butter / salt flower from Chiayi Zhounan salt field / Parmesan cheese powder)
Essentially, it is the original salt croissant, with Parmesan cheese powder sprinkled on top, adding richness and a cheesy flavor.

‼️ Conclusion:
I really enjoy the salt croissant series from Nozomi; I almost always buy the salt croissant when I visit. The outer layer of the salt croissant is slightly crispy, while the filling is soft yet chewy, allowing me to smell the fragrance of wheat while chewing. So, if I'm in the area, I almost always make a detour to get some.
