Best bakery near Crumb in Beijing 2026?
Crumb's croissants are decent but I'd honestly walk ten minutes to Baudry instead, the canelés there are the real draw. If you do go, get the kouign-amann early, they sell out by eleven on weekends.
the kouign-amann at Baudry is good but honestly their plain baguette tradition is what keeps me going back, grab one before noon. also the little alley entrance off the side street is easy to walk past, look for the blue awning
Baguette tradition, 8am sharp.
that blue awning is basically the landmark, i still miss it half the time when i'm not paying attention. fyi they close mondays, learned that the hard way last week
Monday closures catch everyone out, and they also shut for most of August, so check the door sign before trekking over.
agreed on baudry but their canelé is better after 3pm when they do the second bake tbh
Their pain au chocolat beats the croissant, fight me
not wrong but the almond one at le grenier à pain on fuchengmen
yeah but baudry's croissant aux amandes is teh sleeper pick, hardly anyone mentions it
ten minutes is optimistic on a saturday, i'd budget twenty & go before the lunch rush
Sushi prices for foreigners in Beijing 2026
Same menu price, no foreigner tier.
Agreed on the menu, but the real gap is service charge and tea. Locals often skip the 10 percent gratuity line because it's not customary here, so your total lands maybe 40 to 60 yuan higher than the couple next to you.
menu price is the real price, service charge is where it adds up
yeah no two tier thing, but the 10 percent service charge hits everyone equally and some places add it without asking. fwiw the real foreigner tax is booking through a hotel concierge, they'll tack on 50 to 100. just call the shop direct.
Fair enough but watch the tea and seat charge, those get added on top and nobody warns you.
Hanami's omakase jumped to 680 last spring.
680 sounds right for the counter, that's the 12 piece set at the Sanlitun branch. Lunch is the smarter move, roughly 380 for a shorter course and the fish is the same that morning.
Went up again in January, 720 now.
that's the counter only, tatami room adds 100
720 after the spring bump, and they now add 10 percent on card but waive it for cash.
