Despite its name, Chill Bake is not in fact a place to purchase marijuana related products. You’ll be pleasantly misled to a quiet little cafe (emphasis on the little) that serves up picture perfect desserts (namely the Japanese-style cake rolls) paired with coffee and tea. It might not look like much, but that’s kind of the point. A popular aesthetic among the trendy crowd these days, aspiring to a simple life, minimal decor, a cozy escape from the city, a place for people to savor the little moments in life.

Chill Bake is situated in Yancheng District, a stone’s throw from the popular Pier2 pedestrian area, and right behind Sunny Hills, but on a remarkably quiet street. The entrance is nondescript, blending in with the residential buildings — you have to know what you’re looking for. Inside, a few tables fill up the largely unadorned space. A chalkboard menu lists out the day’s cakes, which often feature seasonal fruits and flavors. It’s quiet as everyone huddles around their desserts, sheltered from the hot sun as they post proof of their “afternoon tea” on the internet.
