New York cheesecake, Strawberry shortcake, Napoleon
What Makes it Special: Old-school Bay Ridge bakery strength in classic cakes and cheesecake.
8.0

Portuguese egg tarts, Chinese-style buns, Swiss roll slice
What Makes it Special: Egg-tart-forward pastry case built for quick, repeatable pick-ups.
8.0
