After seeing this Asian-inspired bakery in Oakland trending all over Tiktok, I had to go see the hype for myself! I got a mixture of buns, croissants, and mochi muffins. I'm glad I got to support this local small bakery who took a twist on Asian inspired flavors! It's definitely worth the hype!

Bake Sum - Desserts Near Me - Oakland, California

5.7.2023 Sunday Morning I've been meaning to try this bakery for a while now, especially after Sunday Social. They have the same concept of serving Asian-forward pastries and I'm all for it :) They serve a variety of pastries, cookies, and drinks. We ordered: 1) Loco Moco Danish: I thought this one was good, but would have tasted even better if they heated it before giving it to us! No one likes cold savory food lol 2) Okonomiyaki: I personally like this one more than the Loco Moco, because although it was cold, it still tastes like an Okonomiyaki! BUT next time I will ask them to heat them up first 3) Matcha Strawberry Cruffin: I was hesitant to get one because I don't like Strawberry jam or Strawberry flavored things, but I've glad I did because the inside is matcha cream and REAL strawberry pieces and NOT jam! WOOO. I was a big fan of this one! 4) Mango Thai Tea Croissant: I wasn't sure how mango and thai tea would mix but it did! I also like the cookie crust they added to the top for texture 5) Viet Coffee Bun: I'm a sucker for roti buns and the flavor of the viet coffee was strong and the crunchy of the bun at the top is always my fav :) I can't wait to come back to try their other rotating flavors! read more

There was something truly magical and mystical about visiting this special bakery. Everything we tried and we tried many different things were beautiful in appearance and incredible in tastes, flavors and freshness. This was definitely one of our food highlight spots on a recent multi day trip to the Berkeley area. The folks working there were also lovely and very helpful. We really thought this place was wonderful and we've done more than our share of traveling. Even competes with my favorite bakerys in Lima Peru which is the ultimate complement. read more

My friends and I arrived around 11:30am on a Sunday to find a short line inside the store. Yes! We planned on getting 4 pastries, but gave in to temptations to getting 6. Here are my rankings: Savory: 1. Loco moco danish - the runny egg was delicious! I didn't get much meat, but the whole thing was bursting with flavor. 2. Croissubi - spam musubi and croissant mix?! How could I not like it? 3. Char siu bun (vegan) - not pictured, but had delicious flavor Sweet: 1. Strawberry kinako - the combo was sweet, light, and refreshing 2. Jasmine tea bun - an Asian take on a concha stuffed with jasmine cream. Lots of jasmine flavor and great texture thanks to the crunchy top 3. Cereal bun - good, but definitely the sweetest of the pastries we got read more

Bake Sum - Clockwise: strawberry kinako, jasmine tea bun, cereal bun (below blue jasmine tea bun), loco moco danish, croissubi - Desserts Near Me - Oakland, California

Summary: Perfect for those who find Western bakeries too sweet Details: * Asian-inspired pastries, flavored and seasoned for a more Asian palate * Cookies (at least the matcha sesame one) are more reminiscent of rice crackers than actual cookies, both in terms of the toasted rice flavor, and the fully crisp texture * Matchamisu (matcha tiramisu) cake is fantastic, with just the right balance of sweetness, further tempered by the slight bitterness of the cocoa and matcha powders * Lines can get crazy long, but you risk things selling out towards the end * Can pre-order online, but only in larger portions, and without as much variety read more

They're currently serving specialty pastries for Filipino American History month. They have a muffin filled with ube, jackfruit, and red beans, and ube sugar sprinkled on the outside. It's a real treat! The coffee and teas are good too. read more

A small mom and pop shop with lots of good Asian pastries. Each month there are a few different items depending on what month it is. You can only order to go and I recommend coming here early as there can be a line a little bit before the store opens. I ordered the croissants, Mochi muffins and a almond pastry. All the items very good but nothing special. The staff are friendly and it's a very clean environment. Would go back to try other items. There is only street parking. read more

Bake Sum - Desserts Near Me - Oakland, California

Bake Sum is worth the hype - and the line. We tried quite a few things, and the standouts were the vegan char siu bao and the ube milk bun. We liked the green onion croissant and the ube mochi bite as well, but I wouldn't make a repeat trip for those specifically. I most definitely would for the bao and the bun. We also tried the black sesame mochi bite and the ginger pull apart. Both were fine, but nothing to write home about. Bake Sum's hours are kind of a bummer. I've been meaning to go for several weeks, but finding time when they are open can be a challenge. However, it's definitely worth the effort. read more

WOW! this place is so good. It gets busy in the morning so plan to wait in line! My favorite was the vegan pork bun and the loco moco! Definitely coming back to try the other goodies. read more

Been trying to come here since the grand opening but the lines are long and they don't move very fast. Luckily they started offering pre-orders at the Oakland site. I got a savory and sweet box and loved both. My favorites are the loco moco and halo halo bun. The bread is fresh and flaky and the flavors are spot on. For pre-orders you can just walk-in at the scheduled time and skip the line. I wish some of the other choices like chocolate banana croissant can be offered on the pre-orders too, hint hint. Deliciousness! read more

If you're looking for a yummy bakeshop with Asian inspired pastries, Bake Sum got you. They offer sweet and savory options with a rotating menu. My Yelp besties and I came on Sunday and we were lucky to find easy parking and no line. We decided to do a mini tasting of 3 pastries. * YUZU MERINGUE BUN A sugarcoated flaky bun with the texture of a croissant that was filled with a sweet and tart cream. It tasted more like a regular lemon cream than yuzu but nonetheless it was still delicious. The toasted meringue on the top was sticky and gooey as expected. * LOCO MOCO DANISH This was my least favorite of the 3 just because the other 2 were pretty amazing. I liked that they managed to add a whole egg on top of the danish and it had that runny yolk just like loco moco would. The gravy was savory and had some minced meat in it. Look at all the crispy, flaky layers on the danish! * OKONOMIYAKI DANISH This was my personal favorite. They knocked it out of the park with this one - perfectly emulated okonomiyaki in a danish form. It was savory because of the mushroom, cabbage, heaps of fishy bonito flakes, and drizzling of Japanese mayo and okonomiyaki sauce - total mouthgasm as my friend Leonard would say. Again, the danish had the beautiful layers of flakiness. The only thing is that I was expecting the danishes to be a little bigger. I found them to be smaller than other bakehouses yet the pricing was about the same. read more

Bake Sum - Loco Moco Danish, Yuzu Meringue Bun, Okonomiyaki Bun - Desserts Near Me - Oakland, California

Everything was pretty delicious. Parking was a little hard to find, but if I were in the area again I would definitely make a quick stop here for more cookies. The line wasn't bad at all on a Saturday morning. I liked that I was able to get in and out of there quickly. I wish they had a written menu posted or something so people in line can start thinking about their order. I didn't get to see all the menu items until I got to the register. Ube milk bun - my least favorite out of everything I ordered, but still decent. The bun would've tasted better if fresh maybe, but it was cold when I ate it, so the actual bun part ate a little stiff/dry. Loco moco pastry - I was expecting a heavier pastry with a burger patty in the middle. But no burger patty, just a gravy smear (?) with a pouched egg. I still really liked it though. I really liked the flaky crust with the yolky egg. It was yummy. Strawberry kinako bun - so good! At first I thought it had way too much filling, but it was exactly enough so that every bite was the perfect bite of bun and filling. The filling was very thick and creamy in texture, but light in flavor with a hint of strawberry and kinako. Really enjoyed this combo of flavors; definitely a fan. Black sesame snickerdoodle cookie - my favorite! The black sesame taste was strong and delicious. A little more on the crumbly side when you bite into it, but then it eats so chewy once you get the bite in. Makes me want to try all their other cookies. Would definitely go back for cookies and strawberry kinako bun! read more

Bake Sum - Ube milk bun. Strawberry kinako bun. Loco moco pastry. Black sesame snickerdoodle cookie. - Desserts Near Me - Oakland, California

Had the coconut ube cookie which was crispy and crunchy on the outside. Not a chewy cookie, which I prefer. The croissubi was a spam musubi in a croissant which was perfect for breakfast. Super crispy on the outside which was amazing. My 2nd favorite. The char siu bao was an elevated version of the original Chinese bun, with a more flavorful ground pork and with less of the fat. Very strong flavors. The Loco moco was alright. The beef needs more flavoring and just more of it to balance out with the pastry and egg. The poached egg was definitely good. Breakfast on a bun to-go But my favorite is definitely the okonomiyaki. Very crisp and the soy-based saltiness meshes really well with the pastry. read more

I was really excited and satisfied with my experience visiting Bake Sum's storefront in Oakland's Grand Lake area. This is their first retail storefront, as I understand it Bake Sum had been around for over a year doing catering, pop-up's at farmer's markets/festivals, and distributing at different coffee shops. I've had Bake Sum's baked good several times before, and their owner/founder Joyce Tang previously had another business "La Chinoiserie" which among other places used to be distributed at the San Francisco Boba Guys. There has been some buzz about this place from word-a-mouth, and currently they only have limited times where their retail space is open but I hope that increases as they build up capital and staffing capacity. At this visit today to Bake Sum, the line was half way down the block before they even opened. Luckily my brother and his girlfriend got their first so we didn't end up being in the back of the line. Everything in the display looked really awesome so it was tempting not to ORDER everything, but I got a bunch of things to share. Bake Sum specializes in combining Asian flavors with different modern baking techniques. This trip I really enjoyed their: - cookies (matcha, black sesame snickerdoodle, and taro flavors) - halo halo fun (Ube, filipino jelly and beans) - chocolate banana croissant - their vegan char siu bao - the loco moco bun (which had a runny egg in it) - Croissubi - Has spam in it. - Gochujang Sourdough And one of the highlights was probably the matchamisu (tiramisu cap with matcha greentea flavors in it), we got a couple slices and it was so good I didn't get a chance to take a picture. My brother ordered two large boxes worth of stuff, but felt we got a lot for our money's worth. Everything we had was flavorful and not too heavy. This stuff is perfect for sharing... like DIM SUM, so I'd suggest eating it with a group so you can cut them up so you'll have room to try a little bit of everything. Whereas before Bake Sum was operating out of shared commercial kitchen space, I'm really glad they have their own storefront/homebase which Joyce opened in the middle of the COVID pandemic which helps her and her staff share their passions with Oakland and the Greater Bay Area. Check them out! read more

Super long line for the grand opening, and understandably so! Bake Sum is a cute new bakery in the Oakland Grand Ave area with yummy baked treats to offer. There are 2 little tables out front if you would like to enjoy your food there, otherwise inside is mainly where all the work is. The aesthetic is a cute pink theme with some plants and all their products on display. The staff are very friendly and helpful. All of their treats were unique and yummy so here are the highlights: -Okonomiyaki Danish- delicious savory bun, if you love japanese food flavors this is the bun for you; inside has some sliced mushrooms as well -Halo Halo Croissant- very sweet, definitely a dessert type of pastry -Lilikoi and Toasted Sesame Mochi Bites- loved the dense, chewy texture; lilikoi was not a strong flavor but the black sesame was -Cereal Bun- so colorful, the topping was very crunchy and representative of cereal; nice and creamy filling -Pineapple Bun- surprisingly good creamy pineapple filling, top was not as crunchy as the cereal bun but still a good texture -Strawberry Ginger Matcha Latte- also a surprisingly good choice; fresh ginger was used yet the flavor was light enough to match the strawberry and matcha tones Matchamisu- can't go wrong with tiramisus; light and creamy cake I love this new addition to baked goods scene. I can't wait to go back to try more pastries and well as to see what new items they come out with! If you're not near oakland area they also do pick up orders in SF locations, just check their Instagram or website. read more

The line had 4 customers. The cashier/coffee server can only do one thing at a time. So the wait was long just to buy one pastry. The pastry, like a tall morning bun, was good though. But they only take credit/debit cards and I prefer to pay cash for all my meals. read more

They had pink bistro chairs out front on the street to sit at, and I knew that a place with pink chairs has to be cute and yummy. I was right. Matcha was bomb, cookie thing was bomb, and they had cute stuff on the inside. I will be returning. read more

Let see. I saw some interesting pastry here that I wanted to try. Hm the cookies ($3 each) were on the hard, crunchy side. Flavor was sweet mild matcha, and sugary black sesame. Wasn't very exciting. The ham croissant ($5) w the caramelized crisp cheese was not bad. The Jasmine milk tea ($5) came in small size, tasted very water down, not enough jasmine flavor, and was light on sweet. Whelp sometime you have to try new things to find out if you like them or not :). read more

I was looking forward to the baked goodies at Bake Sum, because I love the fact that they have Asian-inspired pastries. I came here on a weekday before 11:00am and there was no line. I ordered the Okonomiyaki Danish & Croissubi. I preferred the Croissubi as I'm a fan of spam. I was going to a holiday gathering later that evening, so I also bought cookies to share- 2 Black Sesame Snickerdoodle, 2 Cocobae (coconut ube), 2 Hojicha Double Chocolate, & 2 Matchahuhu. I'm glad I ordered before my friends, because after I ordered my 8 cookies, they ran out of two flavors. Even though they are quite large, I thought they were pricy- 4 for $13. When I tried them later, I was very disappointed! They were hard and crunchy. Even though I consider this visit to be mostly a fail, I do want to come back to try their other pastries. read more

Cheers for helping Oakland make a comeback on the local food scene! The pastries are fresh and new - not just in taste, but innovation as well. I hope Oakland continues to support hot new concepts like this one. I love it when I go into a new place and have to ask, "Hmm that looks good - what's in it?" BB read more

Came here 3 times in a span of a few weeks because we liked everything we got so much. First visit was slightly before noon on a Monday. They had sold out of their milk buns but still had a decent selection of items. Second visit was late in the afternoon on a rainy day and it was 10 minutes before closing, so I basically bought most of their case and then the perfect working gifted me the few items I hadn't bought yet, which was super nice. Third visit was in the morning on a rainy day and their case was basically completely full. Favorite items: - any of the mochi bites, but especially the ube one. At $1.75/per it's a steal! Great texture and flavor. - Okonomiyaki Danish $5.25 - just absolutely delicious, great texture, AND it holds up well if you don't eat it on the same day - Chocolate Banana Croissant $6 - I'm not a person who liked banana flavored things, but this is real banana with chocolate and like... a banana puree cream that is just out of this world. It's so decadent and well balanced, without being too sweet, and absolutely no artificial flavors. - Cheesy Garlic Pull-Apart $5.00 - crunchy flaky texture! Garlicky! Savory! Fun to eat! Hard to share! You gotta try this. The caramelized garlic cloves inside were heavenly. - Ginger Pull Apart $5 - same concept as the above, but with ginger, and it *actually* tastes like ginger Other things we tried - Croissubi $5.50 - fun concept, but execution was just okay to me; spam is a little too salty to be well balanced by croissant. I felt like there needed to be more chew and starch to it. - Black Sesame Snickerdoodle $3.75 - Loco Moco Danish (I forget how much this costs) - fun concept and perfectly executed poached egg with a runny yolk, but the flavors were otherwise a little muted. Overall, the staff were super friendly, the baked goodies are delicious, prices are fair, and street parking in the surrounding area isn't bad. read more

I tried three pastries: the chocolate banana croissant, pineapple milk bun, and red bean bun. The chocolate banana croissant was just okay--I'd recommend the chocolate banana almond croissant at B Patisserie in San Francisco instead; theirs is absolutely unforgettable, even months later. However, the pineapple milk bun and red bean bun were amazing. The texture of the buns was soft and the creamy fillings were delicious. read more

I've only tried a few things from here but they were delicious! I tried a few of their croissant based pastries with interesting Asian twists! I think their menu rotates because I tried one thing on Friday and the following Saturday they had entirely different things (at least by the time I got there)! The one I ate most recently was a sesame and green onion croissant roll which was crispy on the outside and buttery soft deliciousness on the inside. I also had a black sesame snickerdoodle which was crisp and a little crunchy on the outside but had a nice chew on the inside. It is a required taste however, my gringo bf was not a fan of the cookie but I enjoyed it! read more

I'm so... WOW. Love love this place. When the bf and I got here on a Sunday morning, there was just one couple ahead of us in line. So honestly a pretty quick wait. So quick that I hadn't begun to think of what to order yet, forcing me to spontaneously order the Black Sesame Cruffin w/ Kumquat. But wow I'm so glad I did because holy shit it was SO good! Actually god-tier. The inside of it is filled with this delicious sesame cream/paste and ugh it went so well with the croissant texture. My bf got the pineapple milk bun and croissubi. He mentioned that the croissubi was a little too salty for his taste though. When I went back later that day to grab a Hello Kitty Baggu bag they were selling there, I had a brief convo w one of the workers there and she was super nice hehe :') Damn I can't stop thinking about that Cruffin... Definitely recommend checking out this place! Be prepared to take a bit of time finding street parking though :(( it was p darn hard to find, so we had to walk pretty far :( OTHER THAN THAT, I absolutely CANNOT wait to come back!!!! read more

I popped into Bakesum while strolling Grand Ave mid-day Sunday. I was expecting long lines but was surprised that there were only a few patrons. Inside, it was a cute shop that also had a section of books and gifts for sale from various authors/artists. Really neat! I didn't get a chance to look at the menu fully and was surprised to see a blend of well-known and unique desserts. Their version of the pineapple bun looked so cute and tasted yummy with the custard inside. I gifted the rest of the desserts to my family but am interested in trying the other baked goods next time! read more

Come and get your Asian-inspired baked goods and pastries fast! They only open until 2 PM and run out of goods fairly quickly. I don't think you can go wrong with any of their options - so it's definitely up to your preferences. Their menu changes every so often, and so should you to try all that they have to offer. ..... HALO HALO BUN: 4/5 definitely intriguing and pretty, I personally love Halo Halo dessert and felt like this pastry really embodies that. It's filled with Ube cream and the mixture of jello and red bean that comes with the actual dessert. I think there could be a better ratio of bread to filling CHEESY JALAPENO CROISSANT: 5/5 if you take this home - would recommend microwaving for like 10 seconds or so to warm it up and take advantage of that cheesy-ness. The inside has a thick savory cream-cheese-like cheese filling with jalapenos mixed in. if you love cheese - you'll love this, but forewarning it definitely packs a kick in spice read more

I finally got a chance to try some pastries from Bake Sum and I'm so glad I did!! I usually prefer sweet pasties over savory ones but I like how the savory pastries here are japanese/hawaiian style pastries. I got the loco moco danish, okonomiyaki danish, croissubi and the apple yuzu tart. I didn't eat my pasties right away and read that they suggest you to warm it up for 5 mins before eating to enjoy the pastries but I was so lazy and ate them cold. Although the pastries were still cold they were so freaking delicious!!! My favorite one was probably the loco moco, the egg on top was perfection. I was looking to their other sweet pastries like something with ube but that might've been seasonal. I'd definitely come back again to try the seasonal items. read more

I liked the options here and they were fast at getting the box of goodies together and out the door even though they had an ongoing line of people. I was disappointed however with the cookies because they tasted dry and not fresh. All three were pretty crumbly/hard. Was hoping for more of a fresh baked taste. The pineapple bun and banana chocolate croissant were pretty good. I got my fix outta my system but not sure I'd go out of my way to come back. read more

3.5 stars. Pretty desserts to look at, but overall taste was just okay. Average $5-6 per pastry. My favorites were the Ube coconut cookie and the pineapple bun filled with lemon custard. Both desserts pair well with hot tea and/or black coffee. It seemed like the majority of the stuff we tried were overcooked. The cookies were hard -- almost broke my tooth biting into it. Skip the char siu bun. read more

I made my way back to try their savory pastry! There were two types today - okonomiyaki or loco moco. I had to try the loco moco cuz I miss Hawaii so much! Now did I think they could pack a loco moco into a super tiny danish, no, but they did. Small amounts of beef with perfect flavored gravy. The danish crust itself was crispy - I did bring it back home to reheat for 15 minutes. It did not ruin the egg. Phew. The poached egg was perfect. I skipped lunch today and this was the perfect snack to with my latte from across the street, Red Bay Coffee. I'm definitely going to try the other savory pastry next week. read more

I'd followed Bake Sum on social media for ages before finally getting an opportunity to come by and try the goods in person! While I think the long anticipation unfortunately elevated my expectations a little bit too high, Bake Sum is still a lovely and unique patisserie. It seemed like new items were coming fresh out of the oven in batches while we waited. There are lots of ultra-flaky options (such as the crossubi and loco moco danish). The ginger pull-apart was a bit crunchier than I expected. My favorites were the cookies with unique flavors, such as black sesame and ube coconut. Service was friendly and although there isn't seating in the store, my friend and I were able to enjoy the sun and our baked goods on the bench right outside. read more

Bake Sum - November 2022 menu selection - Desserts Near Me - Oakland, California

I've come back 2 more times since my first review of the Bake Sum box and this place continues to consistently have unique flavors and amazing pastries. I haven't had anything I don't like yet! To be honest, I sign up for their mailing list and get excited every week just to read what they're going to be offering. If you're nervous to try a whole box, I would recommend showing up early when they're open (Fri/Sat) and just ordering a la carte. They have so many more options than just what are in the box. I really like how creative they are in adding new flavors or coming up with new pastries, but this also means you should definitely order something you're interested in on the menu because it might not be available next time you go! Some additional treats I've had since last time include: Black sesame cruffin with kumquat jam: the black sesame flavor was unreal. I loved this and how they paired it with the kumquat. You can see the layers in the cruffin too...I think cruffins are my new favorite type of pastry. Thai tea mango croissant: Bake Sum is able to get the perfect flakiness on croissants -- it's amazing! I'm not sure this was one of my favorite flavors but I enjoyed how unique it was. I had to take a good amount of bites before experiencing the flavor full on. Cookies: I've tried black sesame, hojicha, and cocobae (coconut ube). They were all spot on with flavors and I enjoyed them all. The cocobae was a bit on the sweeter side compared to the others. I personally really enjoy the texture (crispier on the sides and middle is much softer). Btw the cookies are huge! read more

Bake Sum has been on my radar for some time now but only this weekend was I able to finally find time to stop by. I stopped by around 15 minutes after Bake Sum opened and there was already a pretty lengthly line ahead of me. The line moves VERY slowly. When I finally entered the building, it became immediately clear why things were so slow: there was only one person filling pastries into the boxes, one person at the cashier, one person making drinks, and two people working the kitchen. The main bottleneck was at the cashier, where people were asking the cashier what their favorite pastries were, followed by the person who had to fill the pastry boxes. Grabbing pastries off the rack to put into the box took little to no time, but for whatever reason, this same person was also responsible for having to assemble the cumbersome pink dim sum. This task should be done long before the store opens in my opinion. The pastries themselves are priced at a premium, at $4-$6 a piece which is comparable to other San Francisco bakeshops. All together, my wife and I picked up 5 different pastries, as it was far too difficult to choose just one each. Okonomiyaki Danish - $5.25 Loco Moco Danish - $6.00 Croissubi - $5.25 Cheesy Garlic Pull-Apart - $5.00 Jasmine Bun - $5.00 My favorite of the bunch was definitely the okonomiyaki danish. The flavor tasted exactly like an okonomiyaki -- with a strong mushroom presence, but with the additional crunch of the puff pastry. The loco moco danish was my wife's favorite. Like the okonomiyaki pastry, the loco moco tasted just like it's full-meal counterpart, especially with the hearty gravy. Do note, the runny egg on the loco moco danish it is very messy to eat. Don't attempt to eat this one in your car like I did, or you risk the soft-boiled egg oozing everywhere. Another highlight was the cheesy garlic pull-apart bread, which had whole gloves of roasted garlic. Overall, I was very impressed with how light and flakey the puff pastry was across the pastries. On-par, if not better than Arsicault Bakery in the City. I would certainly stop by again to try out some of their other pastry offerings. To avoid lines, I'd recommend getting in line 5-15 minutes before the store even opens. read more

The perfect time to visit is on a Thursday morning just after opening. I had my pick of fancy pastries - I got more than I needed but they are so good! I'm vegetarian but my husband loved the croisubi (spam misubi croissant) though he wished it had a little more spam. I thought the aloo matar danish was so unique and well balanced - the yogurt on top nailed Indian flavors and balance. The cheesy garlic pull apart was initially a little less flavorful but the middle roasted garlic chunks are totally worth it! Will definitely be coming back to try more pastries read more

I've been back multiple times, so good. Do yourself a favor and come in the month of November because they have 2 of the best items right now, the aloo danish and yuzu meringue bun. If you love citrus (especially lemons) yuzu has a slightly floral sweeter lemon flavor in this bun and it's so good. The aloo danish is my favorite because it's a bit herby and flavorful. Make sure if you have your heart set on a particular item you go earlier on the weekend, or if you can make it in the week you'll have your full pick even midday. read more

You must get the chocolate banana croissant! I don't even like banana flavored anything and we were fighting over this croissant! We went around 9:30am on a Sunday and there wasn't a line. It was a bit limited of a selection, and then refilled the case as we were leaving (just motivation to visit them again!). Everything was great, but the chocolate banana croissant is what we will go back for! read more

You gotta get yourself Sum! Totally messed up my diet this weekend lol but it was worth it. I got here a bit before 10am and there was still a decent selection left. Very friendly service and received some great recommendations. The loco moco danish was unreal. Rich, buttery and super flaky. The egg yolk mixed with the minced meat hits the spot. The cheesy jalapeno crossiant was also a winner. I didn't want to go crazy in one visit, so will try the cookies and mochi bites next time :D read more
