Dress code: Casual—everyday clothes are fine; this is a bakery pickup spot, not a sit-down café.
Noise level: Low to moderate—mostly counter ordering with brief conversations.
Weekend wait: 10–20 minutes during peak cake-pickup windows; longer if custom orders are being handled.
Weekday lunch: Usually no wait or under 5 minutes.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Yes—most cakes and buns are vegetarian-friendly.
Vegan options: Very limited—most items use dairy and eggs; not a reliable vegan stop.
Gluten-free options: No dedicated gluten-free options; cross-contamination likely.

Can I get a table without a reservation? This is primarily a takeout bakery; expect counter service rather than seated dining.
Is it kid-friendly? Yes—cakes, cream puffs, and fruit-forward options are popular with kids, though seating is minimal.
Best For
Better for: Custom celebration cakes and visually classic Asian bakery desserts with reliable execution.
Skip if: You want specialty diet-friendly baking or a café-style space to sit and linger.
