Notes From Xi'an 西安随感

C’EST LA VIE BAKERY/CAFE- this is a bakery/cafe that sells a selection of freshly made European breads and pastries, for Xi’an that is a great new thing. This bakery certainly has a French flavor but actually has had its staff trained by an Austrian baker, flown in for the task. Good bread has got to be about freshness, taste and texture- this place succeeds on all counts. Being a fan of good breads and cheese, it is one of the few things I have missed in Xi’an- no longer, though a Fromagerie would still be good. They will also, for a relatively small extra cost, turn any of their breads into a sandwich, a French baguette included!  It has comfortable places to sit, sells good coffee, a selection of fresh drinks and also offers an array of fine looking chocolates and cakes. Happy Days continue here in Xi’an. (Address: 高薪区糜家桥小区向北20米高薪路23号)
