Inspired by the rustic spirit of the French countryside yet shaped by Asian and European flavor sensibilities, the bakery reflects the personal touch of owner David Kim Amado, who named the shop after the French word for bakery—boulangerie—and the number 22, which carries meaning close to his heart.
At the core of Boulangerie22’s baking philosophy lies a 140-year-old heirloom sourdough, a treasured starter that undergoes a meticulous 24-hour fermentation process. This slow and deliberate method produces dough with a moist, tender crumb, reduced gluten, and a balanced depth of flavor.
Stepping inside, visitors are immediately met with an inviting display of shaped cakes, each crafted with precise detailing and vibrant colors while the shelves are filled with an extensive variety of pastries and breads, each individually wrapped in UV-sterilized packaging to ensure sanitation and preserve freshness.
Beyond their charming appearance, the cakes speak to the bakery’s dedication to skilled craftsmanship and creativity.
