Arome Bakery (Chinese: 東海堂) is a Hong Kong–based Japanese-style chain bakery. It operates over 50 shops in Hong Kong. It was founded in 1985 by Ching-Po Yu (于鏡波) and his daughter Man-Ying Yu (于文瑛), who are also the founders of Hong Kong Construction, the Hong Kong branch of Kumagai Gumi.[1] Arome was acquired by Maxim's Catering, which is owned by Dairy Farm International Holdings in 2008.[2]

Arome Bakery has been targeted by a campaign claiming they use animal cruelty in their supply chain across Asia [3] This campaign claims Arome Bakery and all Maxim's Group restaurants use eggs from battery cages that are banned by the European Union Council Directive 1999/74/EC.[4]
