The Mille-feuille at Guangtai Men is seriously delicious!

Popular Bakery at Shenzhen MixC Luohu: European‑Style Desserts & Photo‑Friendly Atmosphere

Cheryl Kong | 2026-09-05

Can you believe there’s a super popular bakery at MixC Plaza in Luohu? One that always seems to have people lining up and taking photos?

Every time I walked past, I wondered why so many people were queuing and snapping pictures. To be honest, I even found it a little funny. 😅

So today, when the crowd wasn’t too crazy, I finally decided to give it a try. I grabbed a dessert and sat down right in front of the shop to see what all the hype was about.

📍 Practical Information

  • Name of the Bakery: Butterful & Creamorous (黄油与面包)

  • Location: Entire Building S162, Building B, MixC Phase II, Luohu District, Shenzhen

  • Nearest Metro Station:

    • Grand Theater Station (Line 1), Exit F — about 700 meters on foot

    • Ludancun Station (Line 9), Exit C — about 300 meters on foot

  • Price: ¥45 per person

  • Opening Hours: 12:00–22:00

🌸 Environment

To be fair, the environment is beautiful. The bakery has a European-style architectural design, with a charming outdoor seating area that is perfect for taking photos and checking in.

I especially recommend visiting in the evening. Once the lights come on, the whole place takes on a romantic and dreamy atmosphere.

The interior is equally eye-catching, with a high ceiling and elegant chandeliers that give the space a luxurious feel. The shelves are filled with beautifully presented breads and pastries. 🍰

However, there is one downside: the indoor space is quite narrow. You can basically walk through the entire shop in one loop, and when it's crowded, it can feel a little cramped.

You also need to make your choices fairly quickly. If there are people waiting behind you, you may feel a little guilty standing there for too long while deciding what to buy.

🛎 Service

Unfortunately, the service was probably the weakest part of my experience.

Just as some other customers have mentioned, I didn't find the checkout experience particularly friendly. When it was time to pay, the staff member simply pointed upward with a finger and gestured for customers to come over to the counter. Maybe it was just a busy moment, but the gesture felt a little abrupt and impersonal to me.

🥖 Food

I ordered the strawberry raspberry tart 🍓, and it tasted pretty good.

The cream was smooth and silky, and it paired nicely with the crisp tart crust and berries.

However, the creaminess can become a little heavy after a few bites. I would recommend having it with a drink, or even better, sharing it with someone instead of eating the whole thing by yourself.

📚Overall Experience

The biggest attraction is definitely the atmosphere rather than the food itself. The European-style architecture, beautiful lighting, and outdoor seating make it a very photogenic spot, especially in the evening.

The dessert I tried was good, but it didn't leave me thinking, "Wow, I finally understand why everyone is lining up." 😅

If you're mainly looking for a beautiful place to take photos, enjoy a dessert, and experience one of the more popular bakeries around MixC, I think it's worth checking out.

🧑‍⚖️Final verdict:

Service ⭐⭐⭐
