It’s often said that Shanghai’s baking scene is full of hidden gems. You might just take a casual stroll downstairs and stumble upon a highly recommended, super-popular hidden treasure shop. Here, you can witness the incredible diversity of bread. One such example is BUNA & PÂTE, a community bakery that has been a sensation for a long time. The shop became famous across Shanghai for its vinyl-record-shaped croissants, which sold like hotcakes—up to 600 to 700 pieces in a single day.
Apart from the vinyl-record-shaped croissants, the bakery offers over 10 major categories and more than 70 choices, each one a standout. Some items sell out before closing time. There are even comments like, “You can consider buying bread from them as a regular expense” and “Friends from out of town can even bring their suitcases to indulge.”
Every day, they sell six to seven flavors: the exotic pineapple-rum chocolate, the sophisticated Valrhona dark chocolate, and the tangy and refreshing raspberry white chocolate, among others. All these have been recommended by pastry and baking experts from all over.
According to the owner, the vinyl-record-shaped croissants are also a hidden hit on online shopping platforms. If you don’t want to go out, you can still order them via food delivery.
A paradise for chocolate lovers, this is a rich and irresistible explosion of flavor, crafted from premium chocolate. A perfect score contender, it remains the top-selling item in the store even after a year.
