90s Dessert Shop Introduction
The first Canelé specialty store in Chiayi was founded in 2020 by a young man born in the 90s who loves making desserts. He chose the Canelé, known for its nickname "Angel's Bell," as the theme for his business. Although located in a quieter old house on Guangcai Street in Chiayi City, he invested in hiring the well-known design company Xiaofu to create an ambiance with elegant blue hues paired with dark wood tones and dreamy white curtains, encapsulating a vintage French charm. If you happen to walk down this street, you will be surprised to find a dessert shop that exclusively sells Canelés. Upon entering, you can feel the warm, sweet aroma of baking. As a Canelé specialty store, 909 Sweet Shop not only offers the classic Canelé but has also developed a variety of flavors with fillings, including matcha, coffee, apricot, cocoa, Earl Grey, Pu-erh tea, and Thai milk tea, and occasionally launches limited editions such as the Mini Canelé, which is more difficult to make but perfect for a single bite. Furthermore, they release a variety of limited gift boxes for different holidays. Due to the pandemic, currently, the pastry chef at 909 Sweet Shop operates solo, and dine-in is not available. If you have a preferred Canelé flavor, it is best to place a reservation in advance. Image source: Chiayi City Government Tourism and News Office | Photography: Margret
