Bakehouse’s newly-opened Central branch means that Gregoire Michaud’s irresistible flaky pastries and sweet treats are more widely available than ever—here are five new items to try immediately
After two years since opening the original Wan Chai location, Gregoire Michaud is back with the second branch of his wildly popular bakery Bakehouse. The brand new Bakehouse Soho is a takeaway-only outlet where the pastry haven’s flaky treats and sourdough loaves are available to purchase all day. The new location on Staunton Street is hard to miss, being right beside the Mid-Levels escalator and neighbours Maison Libanaise.
Unlike the original, the new Bakehouse Soho has no seating, but is equipped with a functional kitchen where sandwiches are assembled to-order, together with a small kitchen set-up where pastries, breads, and coffees are prepared. The new location displays an abundance of freshly-baked goods, including croissants and their original sourdough egg tarts, both bestsellers at the Wan Chai location. Of course, there are a few exclusives and new launches here, too—so here are five new treats available at Michaud’s brand new bake shop, which officially opens at 7:00am on October 30, 2020.

Sausage Roll
Not to be mistaken for pigs-in-a-blanket, where sausages are wrapped in bready doughs, Bakehouse’s sausage rolls are properly prepared with an enticing golden pastry encasing a well-seasoned herb sausage. The pastry is ethereally light and, the most important of all, leaves little grease on the fingertips after enjoying them.
