French pastry craft plus a baguette program that sells out for a reason.

A French bakery-café built on precise viennoiserie and composed desserts, with a strong baguette-sandwich program that turns it into an easy breakfast-or-lunch engine.

Must-Try Dishes:
Almond croissant, Paris-Brest, Tuna baguette sandwich
What makes it special: French pastry craft plus a baguette program that sells out for a reason.

Ham & cheese croissant, Egg sandwich (breakfast), Homemade chocolate chip cookie
What makes it special: Neighborhood bakery-café comfort with strong pastries and repeatable lunch options.
Worthy Picks
7.9
An Italian-leaning bakery-café that’s strongest when you treat it like a coffee-and-dessert stop with a few well-made baked goods rather than a long hang. The lineup rewards a focused order—one cream-filled pastry and one signature dessert—so you don’t dilute the best bites.
Must-Try Dishes:
Tiramisu, Crema croissant, Fresh-baked baguette
What makes it special: Italian-style pastries anchored by a strong tiramisu and crema bakes.
#4
Bake Culture
7.8
A modern Asian bakery stop built for fast decisions and immediate gratification—grab a tray, pick a mix of soft buns and crisp pastries, and you’re done. It’s best when you order for contrast: one custard item, one savory bun, and one crunchy pastry to balance the box.
Must-Try Dishes:
Egg tart, Taro salted-egg bun, Croissant chips
What makes it special: Wide Asian-bakery variety that rewards mixing sweet, savory, and crisp.
7.6
A newer-style bakery-and-tea stop where the appeal is playful, not-too-sweet pastries that pair well with a drink order. Treat it like a targeted pickup: choose one tart, one savory-sweet bun, and keep the rest minimal so the textures stay distinct.
Must-Try Dishes:
Matcha tiramisu tart, Coffee tiramisu tart, Meat floss cake
What makes it special: Modern tart-and-bun lineup that stays light and not overly sweet.
