90 Dessert Shop Introduction
The first canelé specialty store in Chiayi was founded in 2020 by a young man in his 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 area on Guangcai Street in Chiayi City, he invested in hiring a well-known design company, Little Fortune, to create an elegant space featuring a combination of soothing blue and dark wood tones, accented with dreamy white drapes that reflect a vintage French aesthetic. If you happen to stroll down this street, you will be surprised to find a dessert shop entirely dedicated to canelés. As you enter, you'll be enveloped by the warm, sweet aroma of freshly baked goods. As a canelé specialty shop, 90's Desserts offers not only the classic canelé but also has developed a variety of flavors containing fillings, including matcha, coffee, apricot, cocoa, Earl Grey, pu-erh tea, and Thai milk tea. Occasionally, they also release limited-edition items, such as the Mini canelé, which requires a more complex preparation but is perfect for a single bite. They also launch mixed-flavor gift boxes for various holidays. Due to the pandemic, the pastry chef at 90's Desserts is currently working alone, and dining in is not available. If you have a preferred flavor of canelé, it's best to make a reservation in advance. Image source: Chiayi City Government Tourism News Office | Photography: Margot
