德福甜点(裕华东路店)

This long-established dessert shop is very relaxing. The afternoon sun shines in at an angle, filling the air with the warm aroma of butter and powdered sugar. I especially love their homemade pastries; you can see the handmade touch in every single one, the flaky crust crumbling at the slightest touch. I also picked out four or five kinds of ready-made cookies, packed them in a paper bag to take home, and they'll go perfectly with some black tea.

They have a really wide variety of cookies; there are seven or eight different flavors of cookie alone. The ladyfingers are especially delicate; my daughter said they look like little works of art. If you go, you can buy a few different kinds to try. Remember to go early; they smell best when they're fresh out of the oven around four or five in the afternoon.

This shop is amazing! It's so clean as soon as you walk in, and there are so many kinds of pastries, it's dazzling! The matcha mille-feuille was so delicious! The prices are also super reasonable, I'll definitely come back to buy it again!
