In recent years, Mui Wo has seen the rise of trendy cafes and the sudden popularity of the Mochi King. However, there is actually a bakery that has been open for ten years on the island called Village Bakery. It is the only bakery in Mui Wo that specializes in handmade bread. Their Western-style bread and cakes are highly popular among the residents of Mui Wo, especially the expatriate community. It is common to see families coming to buy bread from the bakery.
The most popular item for visitors to eat must be egg tarts, especially made with puff pastry and a folding technique that creates multiple layers of tart crust. The folded layers are visible from the outside, giving the tart a delicate appearance. When you take a bite, it is crispy and fragrant, with the egg custard baked to a slightly burnt, sweet, and smooth texture.
The products of the sweet and crispy category include butterfly pastries, croissants, etc. All of them are handmade by the shop itself. Local residents mostly choose affordable bread, and there are also many flavors of sourdough bread, such as cranberry chocolate, whole wheat, multigrain, etc. The soft and ripe toast category also has different flavors like beetroot, and the most popular cake is New York cheesecake, available in various sizes.
The store has about 10 seats and offers basic drinks like coffee. It’s only a 3-minute walk from the pier, so why not have a cake while waiting for the boat?
