Best Legendary Bakery Shop in Bandung / Toko Roti Legendaris Terbaik di Bandung
1. Djie Seng
Djie Seng is one of the legendary bread brands that has been selling its products door to door using onthel (vintage) bicycles and motorbikes since the 1950s. It is now rare to find these sellers, but buyers can still buy this bread at the shop directly which is open for 24 hours. The shop must provide fresh bread because it is in the same place as the production house. So anyone who comes to the shop will definitely smell the aroma of hot bread straight from the grill complete with a nostalgic feeling!

2. Rasa Bakery & Cafe
Established in 1936, Rasa Bakery & Cafe was originally named Hazes, an owner and food entrepreneur from Malang who sold candy. Then the shop changed its concept of selling bread and changed ownership and name to Rasa Bakery & Cafe in the 1960s. The atmosphere of this cafe, which still maintains its old interior, is famous for its delicious ice cream taste. This cafe's menu also varies from bread, and typical European snacks, to Indonesian cuisine.

3. Roti Gempol
Gempol bread is one of the bakeries that has managed to survive because of the consistency of the recipe passed down from generation to generation. The mother's recipe in 1958 from Salatiga was brought to Bandung by her daughter, Lydia Usman, in the 80s with the concept of a home bakery. The whole wheat bread is one of the recipes that keeps customers coming back, and is delicious to be eaten directly baked with tea, coffee or hot milk.

Sumber Hidangan, or what was previously known as Het Snoephuis (sweet house), is a legendary bakery that has been around since 1929. To find this shop you need to be careful because there is no sign. As the name suggests, the Dutch-style bread and cakes served are mostly sweet bread with authentic recipes that are not easy to find elsewhere. The spacious place still maintains the authenticity of the building and decoration since it was built
