Pi Shifu, you're really something else...

[Dr. Cheryl Willms]

Visiting Hangzhou, today I finally made a personal trip to "Master Pi Macaron"!

• Previously, I only got my macarons by asking friends for help; I had never actually been to the store myself.
• My Lord! The shop is packed with crowds! ‍️ It's absolutely jam-packed on all sides.
• However, I do have some complaints:
  • The line moved so slowly, it felt like I had been waiting forever, which was quite disheartening.
  • Also, for anyone planning to visit (note this!):
    • Definitely! Definitely! Get there early if you want to get your desired flavor!
    • I arrived around two o'clock in the afternoon, but many flavors that I wanted had already sold out! If you want more options, it would be best to go in the morning.
• Therefore, all versatile Hangzhou folks or those who have visited Hangzhou before,
  • Are there any other good macaron stores you could recommend to me? 🥺 Especially if you have any "hidden treasure" stores you'd love to share from your own personal collections!

I went to Pi Shifu both before the May Day holiday and again last week, arriving around 2 PM on both occasions. It wasn't crowded either time, which was a pleasant surprise. Plus, their selection was very complete. Honestly, when it comes to macarons in Hangzhou, I think Pi Shifu is as good as it gets.
