I have tried a few of thier breads, but mostly I get the whole grain oat bread.It is really excellent, the texture is quite soft and yet full bodied. Clearly there is some nice oil or fat used in the bread but it is in not way too much. The outer crust is really perfect. I think this in generally waht a whole grain bread should be. (juat my opinion, of course!)Beware, its truly a fresh bread, and doesn't stay soft more then a day or 2 more.I hear some people in HK complain of lack of nice full t

Beware, its truly a fresh bread, and doesn't stay soft more then a day or 2 more.
I hear some people in HK complain of lack of nice full textured bread, so please go there and see what you like!
I have also tried some things I didnt like so much. One was the sourdough, a bit tough and not in a good way. I know sourdough has a particular texture and taste, but this one didnt really hit it in my opinion.
I also tried the 9 grain bread, which wasn't really to my taste. A bit too....uh... I want to say, too grainy or something, but anyway its still nice, just not really my fav.
They also sell little cakes with odd names, which I cannot remember, but they have one which is a chocolately little ring type cake, its really very nice in a way thats not over sweet and still really flavorful.
Those small ones and odd smaller breads seem overpriced to me. The loafs are around $40 something, and worth the price. I have not sat in there to eat but they have a few tables and I never seen it full. I think they are on the major slope, which probably keep foot traffic down a bit, and seems like they serve the restaurant industry.
I went near closing hour a few times, and they gave me some fair sized cut offs of other breads for free!!!!! So had free trying.
The one lady served me many time. she is a little plump, (sorry, just describe her) and her service is VERY GOOD!!!!!! She did a nice job, thank you to her. A rare experience with above the call of duty service.
I cant go too often cos bread is too naughty for my diet, and you have to try a little hit and miss to see what you like. But for westerneres and anyone who wants to experience what i think is a good artisan type bakery, give it a try. Anyway, you'll burn a few calories walking up the slope.
One down side is, i went after exercise and had used octopus card before, thsi time the machine was broken! Not sure fixed yet or not.
And if they are out of what you're after, its kind of disappointing, its kind of small place after all.....
