华人创办面包房Opafe落户匹兹堡南区，抹茶可颂与肉松酥受追捧
一家融合欧式烘焙与亚洲风味的网红面包房Opafe日前落户匹兹堡南区，为南区商业街带来新的人气。这家面包房于10月22日在南区工厂区悉尼街2720号开业，创始人为欧泊集团创始人兼首席执行官安迪·钱。店内既供应传统牛角包与巧克力面包，也推出抹茶巧克力可颂、肉松酥等亚洲风味点心，以及造型逼真的水果甜点，凭借社交媒体上的高人气迅速走红。此外，店内还供应越南咖啡、新鲜水果茶与自制抹茶饮品。面包房每日上午7时至晚9时营业，开业不久便吸引大量顾客排队。Opafe所在的南区工厂区仍在开发之中，部分沿街店面尚空置，面包房的开业为悉尼街带来了更多客流，也让访客有机会认识南区的这一片区。匹兹堡华人餐饮近年来持续出新：松鼠山的中式餐馆以正宗川菜闻名，华人厨师魏朱入围詹姆斯·比尔德奖半决赛；市中心唐人街仅存的唐人街客栈由华裔演员温明娜家族经营数十年，成为匹兹堡华埠历史的活招牌。Opafe的创办人安迪·钱表示，希望把一次普通的咖啡停留变成一种体验，让顾客在面包香气中感受东西方风味的融合。业内人士认为，华人创业者在匹兹堡餐饮与烘焙领域的活跃表现，正为这座城市的多元美食版图增添新的亮色。

Chinese-Founded Bakery Opafe Lands in Pittsburgh's South Side, Drawing Crowds for Matcha Croissants and Pork Floss Pastries
Opafe, a bakery blending European baking with Asian flavors, has opened in Pittsburgh's South Side, bringing new energy to the neighborhood's commercial streets. The bakery opened on October 22 at 2720 Sidney Street in the South Side Works area; its founder is Andy Qian, founder and CEO of the Opal Group. Alongside traditional croissants and chocolate breads, the shop offers Asian-inspired items such as matcha chocolate croissants and pork floss pastries, as well as lifelike fruit-shaped desserts, and has quickly gone viral on social media. The shop also serves Vietnamese coffee, fresh fruit teas and house-made matcha drinks. Open daily from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m., it has drawn lines of customers soon after opening. The South Side Works area where Opafe sits is still developing, with some storefronts vacant; the bakery's opening has brought more foot traffic to Sidney Street and introduced visitors to this part of the South Side. Chinese food in Pittsburgh has kept evolving in recent years: Squirrel Hill's Chinese restaurants are known for authentic Sichuan cooking, Chinese chef Wei Zhu was a James Beard Award semifinalist, and the Chinatown Inn downtown, run for decades by the family of Chinese American actress Ming-Na Wen, is the last surviving landmark of Pittsburgh's Chinatown history. Founder Andy Qian says he hopes to turn an ordinary coffee stop into an experience, letting customers feel the fusion of Eastern and Western flavors amid the aroma of fresh baking. Industry observers say the energy of Chinese entrepreneurs in Pittsburgh's restaurant and bakery scene is adding new color to the city's diverse food map.
