"Baking on the Dining Table" is a cozy little shop that I discovered recently near my rented apartment. Located in a quiet residential area, it may not be eye-catching, but it attracts quite a number of office workers nearby who specifically come during their lunch breaks to purchase. The shop space is not large; the display case can accommodate around four to five customers at a time, and you can see the oven in operation and the preparation area from the entrance. The environment is clean and tidy, which is reassuring.

The shop offers a wide variety of items and allows for pre-orders via Facebook, which is a great convenience for bread lovers who are afraid of missing out on popular items. The biggest charm of this shop is the "homely feeling" it creates—simple yet warm flavors that always bring a sense of comfort with every bite.

Cinnamon Cookies
As a cinnamon enthusiast, these soft cookies are truly one of my favorites I've had recently: the exterior has a slightly fragrant crispness, while the inside is moist and soft. The aroma of cinnamon is rich but not overpowering, with a moderate sweetness (or one might say, not sweet at all, which I absolutely love) along with a hint of caramel. The layers are rich, and each bite feels like a warm embrace on a winter day—gentle and healing.

Tomato Cheese Focaccia is also impressive.
I enjoyed it as breakfast the next morning; it was crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, delivering an excellent texture. The focaccia boasts a strong olive oil aroma, and the combination of tomato and cheese is simple yet perfect, intertwining sweet, sour, and savory flavors. It's neither overwhelming nor leaves you wanting more; the portion is actually quite generous, but it was so delicious that I had no opportunity to stop—I finished it in no time.

In summary, "Baking on the Dining Table" is a dedicated little shop that puts heart into its baking. Each creation carries warmth, making it perfect for waking up early on a nice day and picking out some bread to enjoy slowly at home. Such a daily routine is truly blissful.

Located on Hulin Road, "Baking on the Table" is a low-key yet surprising little shop that specializes in baking and desserts. The store is small, but cozy and warm in its decor, and the name has a poetic touch, as if you've truly walked into a home dining table with a story.

"Cinnamon Roll" is the signature item in the shop. Its appearance is simple, yet it has an enticing aroma. The cinnamon flavor is rich but not overwhelming, with a soft texture that remains moist. Each bite emits just the right balance of sweetness and fragrance, making it impossible to stop at just one.

"Baked Donut/Cinnamon" leans towards a more traditional flavor profile, being soft both inside and out. The cinnamon flavor is not too strong, making it suitable for customers who are somewhat reserved about cinnamon but still want to try something new.

"Baked Donut/Low-Sugar Bean Powder" has an extremely low sweetness, allowing for guilt-free enjoyment. The bean powder has a delicate and natural aroma that blends perfectly with the fragrant dough of the donut, making it an ideal snack for those who do not have a sweet tooth and prioritize health.

Overall, "Baking on the Table" is a great shop that stands out in the dessert scene. Whether it’s the careful control of sweetness, choice of ingredients, or the various uses of cinnamon, the attention to detail from the owner is evident. If you're looking for comforting yet not overly sweet baked goods on Hulin Road, this place is definitely worth a visit.
