📍Shilin District, Taipei City (near MRT Zhishan Station)
A refined little bakery in a Japanese style, perfect for creative souls 🥖🍞

This bread shop in Tienmu has been around on the map for a really long time! Finally went to check it out 😝

The conclusion is that I really, really like it. By the time I wrote this review, I've already ordered takeout four times and dined in once within a month 😆🫶🏻

I really love the aesthetic of this shop from the outside. It reminds me of a bakery I really liked in Fukuoka called Dacomecca, where the bread is displayed like works of art 🖼️ It has a lot of character.

The store's space is quite small, and you need to be aware that they only accommodate one group of customers at a time. If there are people inside, whether for dine-in, takeout, or if you have a reservation, you need to line up outside.

Most of the bread types are based on Japanese styles, but I also saw some European sourdough options.

I highly recommend dining in as there is no time limit, and the staff will help warm up the bread. The Sicilian is very refreshing and has a stronger coffee flavor.

✨ Yuzu Pepper Butter Roll ($50)
The item that I can't stop thinking about is this one!
The most famous item here is the Salt Flower Butter Roll, and the filling has a wonderful yuzu pepper flavor with a slightly sandy texture—it's not overly spicy, making for a perfect combination.

I also really enjoy other breads like the Pineapple Bun and Focaccia, but they are not very cheap, averaging between 30-80 NT dollars. However, they are all of such good quality that you can taste it right from the first bite.

Will I visit again: Yes!
