Sweet Treats Escapes
A Chinese bakery-and-drinks stop that’s built for quick hits: soft buns, classic pastries, and grab-and-go momentum near the station area. It shines when you pick one savory bun and one sweet pastry, then round it out with milk tea instead of turning it into a full bakery haul.
Must-Try Dishes:
Roast pork bun, Egg tart, Milk tea
What makes it special: Classic Chinese bakery buns and tarts built for fast, repeatable stops.
8.1
A sourdough-anchored Mexican bakery where donuts show up alongside pan dulce and laminated pastries, so the smartest move is to order like a bakery regular: one sweet, one bread, one coffee. The donut lane works best when you treat it as a daily special—grab what’s fresh, then move on.
Must-Try Dishes:
Seasonal donut, Concha, Mexican chocolate croissant
What makes it special: Mexican bakery classics plus a rotating donut-and-pastry lane built around sourdough craft.
