Apoli Itabakery AP意大利料理面包坊 is a popular Italian-style bakery in Shanghai, famously known as the “Harry Potter Bakery” because of its magical, medieval-inspired interior décor.
With a few locations across Shanghai, its flagship store is situated just steps from the iconic Wukang Mansion (武康大樓). It features the same rustic atmosphere with stone walls and warm lighting, consistent with the rest of their locations.
Thanks to its magical vibe, it’s gained significant popularity on social media. It’s a hotspot for influencers and bread lovers alike. Expect modest queues, especially on weekends.
The beloved bakery offers both savory and sweet options. Their Truffle Ham & Cheese Crispy Roll and Chef’s Signature Sea Urchin Mentaiko Bread are among their best-sellers for savory bites. For sweet treats, the Pistachio Chocolate Cream Bread is praised for its crispy-to-soft texture, while the Blueberry Butter Condensed Milk Bread is one of their most popular sweet snacks among their over-hundred rotating items.
We decided to grab a few of these for tomorrow's breakfast.
But once we spotted a small dine-in area besides the shop, someone changed his mind!
He decided to munch on his nama donut immediately.
Underneath the fluffy and slightly chewy donut (almost like those from I'm donut?), there was a generous supply of vanilla custard cream.
I had mine as breakfast the next morning. It was incredibly soft, fluffy, and melt-in-your-mouth. And it looked exactly like my favorite nama donuts from Japan — Wow! 😉😉
