A new bakery has recently opened a fifteen minute walk from our place or five minutes by bike. It is located next to the entrance of the new Merry Mart grocery store. They even have a website and the address is www.bjxqs.com.cn.
Our friend Mike introduced us to the owner Barry who gave us free cappuccinos, three different cake samples, and some cookies, an unexpected treat which were all very tasty. In conversation with Barry we found out he lived in Australia for seven years and opened the bakery on his return. They carry over thirty beautiful and different cakes in an assortment of sizes. They also sell many pastries, cookies, doughnuts and a type of eclair made with a doughnut-style pastry.
Barry told us both his parents taught at the Beijing university and he lived his entire youth on the university campus. The university has its own community on campus and Barry was not allowed to travel around Beijing by himself until he was fifteen years old.
My favourite - dessert!
So many choices!
