Baking Workers expands upon the homey feeling of the decor with their bread selections and in-house roasted coffees. Chocolate croissants (RMB10), grape scones (RMB9) and multiple bread loaves (all RMB25) lie languidly inside large glass cases, waiting to be plucked and consumed by the expat brunch crowd. Pair the pastries with a smooth, strong cappuccino (RMB28) or order from the large selection of imported coffee from Indonesia, Kenya and Columbia.
For an entree, try the pumpkin salad (RMB42), an excellent dish showcasing the fall harvest. Besides grilled pumpkin, it contains corn, chicken breast, feta cheese and honey mustard dressing. Though sweet, the salad also mixes onions and tomatoes for a partly savory flavor that has a distinctive autumnal vibrancy.
Feeling experimental? Order the fettuccine with avocado and chicken (RMB38). Even though the chicken tends to the overcooked, the avocado adds a layer of fresh smoothness to the already decadent cream sauce.
For the frugal, all-day breakfast specials range from RMB29-39, while an entree, salad and drink set costs only RMB49.
The baking workers themselves can be hard to flag down (maybe too much baking?), but are extremely helpful once they notice a customer in need or discomfort. During our visit, when a man started smoking immediately outside the entrance, one server walked over and gently, just as my grandma would, escorted him off the premises.
