Unfortunately it’s not always easy to buy quality sourdough, focaccia or baps in the city, but there are a few diamonds in the rough, and this guide on where to buy bread in Hong Kong will change your carb life forever.
Where to buy bread in Hong Kong
#1 Proof
Proof is one of our fave places to buy bread in Hong Kong because it’s so damn fresh! We’re partial to their sourdough and baguettes (check their Facebook page for daily baking times) plus they make a great coffee too.

#2 The Cakery
While the name may suggest this company only makes cakes, in reality, The Cakery creates wonderful loaves of bread too. As per all of their products, expect a wide selection of vegan and gluten-free delights. The organic sourdough baguette is so good with chunks of good cheese on top. Mmm…
