Chinese Bakeries in Indiana
Living in Indiana, I've come across some great Chinese bakeries that remind me of home. I've been here for a few years now, and I’ve sampled quite a bit. Here are my personal favorites!
1. **Happy Bakery**
Located near Chinatown in Indianapolis, 1200 N. East St., Happy Bakery is famous for its cakes and mooncakes, with prices ranging from $10 to $25. It’s perfect for celebrations. Whenever I have a gathering, I always pre-order from them. You can't miss their matcha cake, which is sweet and delicious!
2. **Fu Rui Bakery**
In Fishers, Fu Rui Bakery has a warm atmosphere and a variety of dim sum. Their custard buns are a must-try at about $1.50 each—such a good deal! Every time I go, I can't help but buy a dozen to take home. They really are addictive!
Dessert Lovers' Paradise
Besides bread, I love exploring dessert shops in Indiana.
1. **Sweet Time**
In the Carmel area, this dessert shop's specialty is their red bean ice. At around $6 a bowl, its refreshing taste is especially popular in summer. The service is great too, and they always recommend new flavors for me to try.
2. **Chinese Desserts**
Located in Westfield, this shop features a range of traditional Chinese desserts like taro balls and coconut balls, priced between $3 and $5. Whenever I miss the tastes of my hometown, I swing by to satisfy my cravings.
