烘焙 (hōngbèi) means both baking and roasting, so a 烘焙咖啡館 can be a café that bakes or one that roasts its beans; read the rest of the sign for 麵包 (miànbāo, bread), 甜點 (tiándiǎn, desserts) or 手撕包 (shǒusībāo, pull-apart bread).

Wu Pao-chun (吳寶春), born in Neipu, Pingtung, in 1970, won the bread category at the 2010 Bakery Masters in Paris, and he is known for a rose-lychee bread made with millet wine, rose petals and dried lychees.1 His chain's flagship is in Kaohsiung, at Siwei 3rd Road 19 in Lingya, open daily 08:30–20:00.2

Local tip: To take Wu Pao-chun's bread on the train, his Zuoying HSR shop on the station's second floor opens 09:00–21:00.2

Where these cafés are: Museum of Fine Arts & Neiwei (3), Cianjin & Sinsing (2), Zuoying & Mingcheng Road (2), Hamasen & Sizihwan (1), Yancheng & Pier-2 (1).

Jiu Zhen Nan and the wedding-cake street

Jiu Zhen Nan (舊振南) traces itself to 1890, when the Li family began making confectionery in Tainan.3 In 1920 a baker known as 阿祥師 opened 振南餅舖 at Dagou Ding (大溝頂) in Yancheng, the company's first Kaohsiung shop. It moved to Xinxing Street in 1940, and in 1985 opened a flagship three storefronts wide on Zhongzheng Road, on the city's 喜餅 (xǐbǐng, wedding-cake) street.3

Its range includes pineapple cakes (鳳梨酥), mung-bean pastries (綠豆椪) and other 漢餅 (hànbǐng, Han-style pastries), and the company now has about 20 outlets around Taiwan.3 Its first department-store counter opened in 1996, at the Chongguang Department Store.3

The bakery-café chains

The bakery-café chain 85°C was founded by Wu Cheng-hsueh; its first shop opened in July 2004 in what is now New Taipei. The name is the temperature he considered best for serving coffee.4 Its signature sea-salt coffee is a sweetened iced americano under sea-salt whipped cream, and it has about 400 shops in Taiwan.4 It sells coffee, tea and cakes and grows through franchising.4
