[2025 Shanghai Restaurant] Travel Guide for PAIN CHAUD (Updated May)

Shanghai has a fair share of bakeries and Pain Chaud is one of the more popular amongst expats. I prefer the Xintiandi branch as it’s usually quieter. It’s located just beside Metro Line 1 and 14 on the lower basement floor. Cakes here are delicious although a little pricey. I took a cheesecake for 48RMB and hot chocolate for 30RMB. It’s a pleasant area to sit and relax as well. #tripblazers #foodie #urbanexplorer #cafe

#favouriteitinerary If you get tired of walking around Shanghai and want to find a cool place to enjoy afternoon tea, you might want to consider Pain Chaud, a popular bakery chain in the city. Located near Huaihai Road in Xintiandi, it is housed in a renovated old Shanghai Shikumen lane. Today, it has become a must-visit spot for both tourists and locals, especially young people. The place offers a wide variety of cakes, croissants, French handmade bread, and more. My friend and I had our afternoon tea at Pain Chaud, taking a break from our walk, enjoying some delicious desserts, and gaining more energy to continue our day in Shanghai. #deliciousfood #afternoontea #afternoonteatime #myitinerary #travel #shanghai #china

1️⃣A hidden forest cafe in the city As soon as you push the door open, you feel like you are in Alice in Wonderland. You never expected that there is such a beautiful and tranquil "paradise" in the city. Matcha grapefruit thousand layer cake🧁 Take a small sip with a small spoon and put it into your mouth. The aroma of the grapefruit penetrates into your heart and collides with the aroma of matcha tea, which is intoxicating.

Let the sweet taste express my longing for you. Sweet and cute strawberry cake. It is the strawberry season now, and this cake hits the hearts of girls directly. It is so cute and the cake is made delicately. 😋 Scoop out a small spoonful and put it into your mouth. The taste is not very sweet and has a slightly cool taste... It turns out to be vanilla mousse, no wonder it has such a delicate taste 👍 There is strawberry jam in it, and there is a hint of rose fragrance when you taste it slowly. The bottom layer is soft biscuits. It tastes crispy and delicious. French strawberry cream croissant, this is one you and I like very much🥐The filling is a cream made by mixing silky fresh cream and white cheese. It is not greasy at all when eaten with homemade strawberry jam. Very refreshing.
