A new bakery offering on Asian desserts and beverages has opened in Stamford.
Shiro Desserts at 172 Bedford St. is the city”™s first Asian American bakery. It is owned and operated by Sabrina Yang, a business major at UConn, who offers a line-up of East Asian-inspired delicacies and drinks, including green tea cake (pictured here).
“A lot of our customers so far are young and trendy,” said Wang in a recent CTBites.com interview. “They want to come in and try things they”™ve seen online. We also get people who don”™t like their desserts to be overly sweet.”
Shiro Desserts had a soft opening on May 14 and a grand opening with Mayor Caroline Simmons officiating the ribbon cutting ceremony is planned for May 26.
