This half of Minquan Road is a paradise for coffee roasters in Wuhan.

The highest cure of life lies in eating, and the highest cure of eating is dessert.

The long summer night is inexplicably sad. Nestled at home, Yuu Aoi's "Corner Foreign Fruit Shop" was turned out and painted again. When I watched Yoyo sauce bring out snacks decorated with blueberries, pinecones and raspberries, all the depression and fatigue in my heart were swept away.

I believe that everyone who loves baking is always full of sunshine in his life, and even the air must be sweet. Suddenly I want to learn a little baking, and I want to learn to make coffee by hand. It is said that baking is as deep as the sea, and wallets are passers-by from now on. If you want to learn baking, you must first buy all the equipment, which is an uneven desire.

But it is not without solutions. In Wuhan, if you want to buy cheap baking tools at one time, most experienced people will recommend a famous baking shopping street-Quan Min Road.

Quan Min Road is a bit long, but only the half near the river belongs to coffee and baking. No matter on weekdays or weekends, it is always full of traffic, people coming and going, interesting, lively and even a little messy. There must be someone who knows how to show you around slowly and look for it carefully.

Walking in from the end near the river, the right half of Quan Min Road mainly sells coffee supplies, while the left half belongs to baking materials. There are boutique stores and grocery stall wholesale stores, from raw materials, mold equipment, packaging cards, mechanical equipment, boilers and stoves.

If you observe patiently, you will find that this place is a place of crouching tiger. For example, this small shop specializes in designing customized uniforms for catering waiters, from western to Chinese, from a dozen to more than a hundred sets. It is said that many famous restaurants, such as Sunny Day, Kenji and Jin Hu, are customers of his family.

Most shops on Quan Min Road are business-oriented, so buying more will naturally be cheaper. If you buy small items such as wrapping paper, you might as well share them with a few friends or hoard them and use them slowly.

Don't rule out that you found that beautiful little teapot in the afternoon tea shop the day before yesterday, which is wholesale; Or a vintage glass bottle from the dessert shop I've admired for a long time. You can buy a pair for more than ten dollars. Don't be surprised, the shopkeeper may have found it here.

The biggest attraction here is the cake food packaging shop. Colorful decorative dolls, various shapes of pressed candy, cute little dolls and party crowns will make your girl's heart explode. But at this time, you must take care of your wallet. Beginners just need to buy some necessities.

First of all, raw materials, such as flour, butter and cheese, are available here, such as Jufeng's, but they need to be bought in boxes. There is not so much at home, and it is cheaper to buy them on Taobao. However, if you buy molds, you can come to Quan Min Road to find them. Variety, quality standards, more cost-effective than the Taobao shop in Ximalu and Nanhu.

Paper paste mouth, biscuit mould, toast box, baking tray, eggbeater ... can be bought in several one-stop food packaging shops. Prices vary, both domestic and imported, and it is enough for beginners to use Sanneng brand. Cake boxes and wrapping paper can be sold in small quantities here, and you can bring some if you like. The two stores also have their own packaging and printing plants, which are cheaper than online.

Large items such as ovens and coffee machines should be carefully selected. Don't buy anything too expensive and complicated. Many stores have hundreds to tens of thousands of rows. Just buy the popular version for home use, and it must be the right size and evenly heated. You can place an order in Taobao and then go to the store to get it. The price is basically worn.

The qualification of coffee shop here is later than baking, but it is a bit backward. Now, there are nearly 40 coffee shops here, and the categories are very complete. Here are two excellent products for you.

At the corner near the river, there is a Mediterranean-style blue window shop named Jinmeijia, which is said to be the first coffee shop on Quan Min Road. The storefront is small, two floors, very fashionable and tasteful, and every corner of the store is very elegant.

Illy, lavazza, Little Red and Little Red Riding Hood beans and special coffee cups are the main products in the store, and there are many collectibles that the boss has scoured from all over the world.

Don Quixote Coffee Experience Store has been here for 15 years. It sells its own roasted coffee beans, various styles of coffee machines, and some utensils for hand-brewing coffee, such as ear cups, siphon pots and gooseneck pots ... Many famous boutique coffee shops in Wuhan are bought here.

Interestingly, no matter whether you buy something or not, everyone who enters the store can drink a carefully prepared cup of coffee or drink for free. Boss Gao Feng said that they distribute more than 65,438+000 cups every day.

In fact, anyone who is engaged in coffee baking will definitely go to Quan Min Road when he comes to Wuhan. Each store has its own characteristics and highlights. It is a characteristic street formed completely spontaneously, so there are also problems such as lack of unified planning and management, narrow and tight storefront and extensive management.

However, this industry is young and full of vigor, and it is precisely because of this lovely shop that the old street is full of green vitality.

Gao Feng, the boss of Don Quixote, said that they are trying to apply for planning Quan Min Road as a municipal coffee cultural street. Whether it is successful or not, this short half street basically reflects the epitome of Wuhan's roasted coffee culture.
