Our Top Pick
Lost Larson Bakery
Scandi-style pastries and cakes with meticulous lamination and balance.
Notable Picks
8.5
A Scandinavian-leaning pastry counter where laminated dough and clean, not-too-sweet finishes are the main event. The move is to go bun-and-croissant first, then add one showpiece cake slice if you’re building a proper pastry run.
Must-Try Dishes:
Swedish princess cake, Cardamom bun, Ham and cheese croissant
What makes it special: Scandi-style pastries and cakes with meticulous lamination and balance.
8.4
An all-day bakery-cafe that locals treat like a neighborhood clubhouse: breakfast plates up front, then cakes, cookies, and cupcakes for the take-home win. It’s strongest when you pair one savory anchor with a slice or scone, so the meal feels like a full spread without over-ordering.
Must-Try Dishes:
Katie Cakes (signature slice), Brioche French toast, Hot chocolate
What makes it special: All-day bakery-cafe where dessert is as important as breakfast.
8.3
A pie-and-quiche café that’s built for reliable comfort: big slices, sturdy crusts, and a rotating lineup that rewards showing up hungry. It shines when you pick one signature slice and keep the rest simple—don’t scatter your order across too many desserts.
Must-Try Dishes:
Key lime pie, Polka dot cheesecake, Quiche (daily selection)
What makes it special: Old-school pie shop energy with serious slice variety and consistency.
8.1
A French bakery-café that wins on croissant fundamentals and day-to-day reliability—built for quick counterside decisions, not lingering theatrics. Treat it like a tight order: one laminated pastry, one baguette or sandwich item, and you’re set.
Must-Try Dishes:
Pain au chocolat, Almond croissant, Ham and cheese croissant
What makes it special: French pastry fundamentals done daily with a café-friendly setup.
#5
Sweet Moon
8.0
A dessert-forward café with a pastry-case feel—cakes and baked sweets that lean visually striking and best enjoyed as a mix-and-match table spread. It’s at its best as a “two desserts, one drink” stop rather than a full meal commitment.
Must-Try Dishes:
Honey cake, Napoleon cake, Meringue (signature dessert)
What makes it special: Dessert-case café built around photogenic slices and pastry variety.
Worthy Picks
7.9
A classic Argyle Street Chinese bakery where the case is the menu: buns, tarts, and sponge cakes that prioritize freshness and value over polish. The best move is to buy a small mixed box—one savory bun, one egg tart, one sweet bread—so you get range without overload.
Must-Try Dishes:
BBQ pork buns (char siu bao), Portuguese egg tarts, Pineapple bun
What makes it special: Old-school Chinese bakery buns and tarts in a grab-and-go format.
