Now, I’ve been digging around, and honestly, finding genuinely *good* western-style bread in Guangzhou can be a bit of a mission. It’s not like popping down to the corner bakery in Paris, ya know? But don’t despair! There’s hope.
First off, I keep seeing Perma Bakery popping up. They seem to be doing the whole sourdough/baguette thing pretty seriously. They even have hashtags like #organic and #boulangerie. That kinda screams they know what they’re doing, right? Plus, they’re in Guangzhou, according to that post, which is a pretty good start. I saw something about them being in K11 Guangzhou too, which if you’ve ever been, is a pretty swanky place, so it *should* be decent.
Then, I randomly stumbled across a forum post where someone was asking for bread recommendations, specifically in Tianhe district. If that’s your hood, you might get some leads there. Though, the post itself didn’t actually *give* any specific recommendations, which is, like, the opposite of helpful, but hey, at least you know you’re not alone in your quest!
Oh, and there’s also supposedly a place called Backstube. Some dude on Tripadvisor calls it the “Best bakery in GZ”. I mean, take Tripadvisor reviews with a grain of salt, obvs, but it’s worth checking out, right? The thing is, I haven’t personally tried it. So, take it with a pinch of salt, eh?
Look, I’m not gonna lie, I’m kinda just throwing stuff at the wall here. There’s also some random stuff about “Baking Oven Manufacturers” and “Dough Mixer Suppliers” which, while interesting, doesn’t exactly help us find a good baguette. I’m guessing that’s just some SEO-y kinda stuff that got mixed in with the rest.
