Bakehouse Takes Hong Kong Higher with Its New Peak Bakery
Up at one of Hong Kong’s most iconic vantage points, something sweet is taking shape. Bakehouse, the beloved bakery that’s become part of the city’s dessert DNA, has just opened its eighth location atop The Peak. It’s not just another storefront this is where buttery layers, local flavour, and sweeping views converge, giving both locals and visitors a new reason to linger above the skyline.
Walk in and you immediately feel the lift, both literally and emotionally. The light streams in through wide windows, spilling over wooden tables and glass pastry cases filled with croissants, sourdough egg tarts, and twists of flaky dough dusted in sugar. The air hums with warm butter, fresh yeast, and the quiet promise of a morning or evening treat that hits just right. This isn’t just a bakery...it’s a pause above the bustle.
What gives this branch its own identity are two exclusive pastries you won’t find anywhere else. The Sun Kwai Heung Char Siu Turnover (HK$ 58) folds robust, charcoal-roasted char siu (from the legendary Sun Kwai Heung in Chai Wan) into Bakehouse’s signature flaky dough a smoky, savory bite wrapped in crisp layers. Then there’s the Mala Scallion Danish (HK$ 38) green onion meets Sichuan pepper in a buttery swirl, bristling with a tongue-tingling kick and glazed with soy for that perfect balance.
Of course, familiar favourites still have their place here. The sourdough egg tarts, chocolate-filled croissants, and buttery twists hold court alongside sandwiches and soups — a solid lineup for anyone seeking something light or satisfying. The menu is meant to flex with your mood: morning coffee with a danish, midday hunger with a sandwich, or an evening respite with something sweet as the sun dips.
Seating spills both indoors and out, letting you take in the vista of Victoria Harbour, the city’s jagged skyline, and the promise of night. It’s a clever move, the kitchen stays open until 10PM, giving the Peak tower a new life when the city lights flick on. There’s something poetic in eating a flaky char siu turnover high above the city it came from or tasting the bite of mala as the breeze carries the city’s hum below you. Bakehouse at The Peak isn’t just a new bakery, it’s a destination where flavour meets altitude, where the everyday becomes a moment, and where a pastry can feel like both a treat and a view.
