Omg!!!! I swear I had Butter & Crumble on my want to try list for YEARS!! And I finally got to try…read moretheir AMAZING beautiful gorgeous pastries yesterday!! I went around 12:15pm on a Saturday, and the line was short (comparatively) and moved quickly! Pro tip: keep up with their instagram stories because they occasionally post live updates about the line/supply! It only took around 15 minutes to reach the front. Another tip: decide what you're going to get & some back up options (in case they sell out of your first choice options) so you don't hold up the line deciding at the cashier! I think that is the main reason the line sometimes moves slow. Because tbh once you put in your order, it takes like 3 minutes for them to pack it up. I tried 3 pastries from the July menu: Skirt Steak Croissant, Madame Lorraine, and Peach & Sweet Corn Cruffin. I also wanted to try the Bruschetta Danish, but they were sold out of that one. I was definitely most excited about the Skirt Steak from the beginning, and it was indeed my favorite! The croissant was so flakey buttery crispy, it was actually perfection. I love the chipotle aioli and arugula pesto sauces. Wow one of the best pastries I've ever eaten. The madame lorraine was my second favorite. I'm biased though because I love salty a lot more than sweet. The pork was so tasty in this one, and I really liked the parmesan toppings. I don't even like runny egg yolks, but it worked so well with this pastry. The peach & sweet corn cruffin was a little too sweet for me but the peach and corn flavors worked sooo surprisingly well. I NEED to come back to try their other pastries wow. It is 100% worth the hype.

$32. Box of 4 pre-order. The pastries didn't deliver…read more The Strawberry Vanilla Danish had fresh strawberries that were more raw instead of cooked down, and the bottom of the pastry itself was underbaked (see photos). The Peach Corn Cruffin was even more disappointing, it was more like apple than peach, the fruit was still crisp and undercooked. Crisp peach? And the cream had a sour note that threw the whole pastry off. The Bruschetta Danish was the standout of the box. The Plum Vanilla Almond Twice-Baked Croissant oddly reminded me more of a PB&J than an almond-plum pastry. The pastries definitely photograph better than they eat. I really wanted to love this place, but I don't think the hype matches the experience. Are there good pastries here? Probably... um, sure. (?) But are those worth the wait and the reputation? Not in my opinion. Sometimes the emperor really has no clothes.

Wait Time: 10min on a weekend afternoon. I got lucky and saw it was open beginning of this year before crowds found out. Their hours are not accurate so just up to chance. Items Order: 9/10 Egg Tart $3.75 - larger than average egg tart. It comes piping hot and fresh. the shell is very buttery but holds well. custard is very hongkong style (eggy/milky vs the custardy Portuguese version). Sweetness level is about 50% so not that sweet. CASH ONLY

Absolutely yes! We…read morehave very high standards when it comes to pineapple buns. We frequent Hong Kong and miss the classic thick butter tucked into a warm flaky pineapple bun. This place does that and takes it up a notch! They have different flavored butter which was very interesting but it absolutely works! We got the sampler and we devoured all four. Also picked up 8 classics and they were all very good. The bun is light and airy but has a good buttered undertone. And about $2 each for the classic pineapple bun (not butter), they are cheaper than most standard bakeries these days. So good, highly recommend!

But my friend assured me that the line went by pretty quickly. I was just picking up some pastries, so I got one of the chili and cheddar scones and the chocolate rye tea bread. Both were really good. I actually think the chocolate rye tea bread was amazing. I wish I had gotten two of them. This spot was really busy on a Sunday afternoon, and I saw a bunch of people enjoying delicious treats. The lunch menu looked good as well. I would try this again if I were in the area.

And I do mean shine, by the butter stains on my napkin and coffee cup. That said, Tartine's double-baked croissants are great, and their handheld peach pie was dense and flaky. Turns out Tartine is actually more famous for large rustic bakes--like their benchmark sourdough country loaf, morning buns, and banana cream tarts--none of which I tried. On a scale from 1-15, I give them a Tartine.

The pizza today was superb! I got the daily special slice which changes. Today's was tomato basil,…read moreand it was very basil forward and over flowing with heirloom tomatoes which made it almost refreshing which sounds strange for pizza but it was so satisfying. With a crispy undercarriage and still somehow perfectly chewy melty, it had a great balance . I also got a chocolate chip cookie which was massive for the price, chewy and not too sweet. The service was quick but the out door seating was full today, which reflects the popularity of this quaint and highly popular location. Luckily it's a quick walk to the park and even through the extra distance, the pizza was still crispy and delicious.

I've always wanted to try this place since I see a line every time I walked by. There's a lot of foot and car traffic. It's definitely a busy area so expect to park in one of the nearby residential areas or be extremely and walk/bike/bus here! Upon stepping into the tiny shop, I was enveloped in the sweet smell of chocolate chip cookies. It was tempting to put that in my bag, but I stuck with my game plan. They do self serve for all the baked goods and drinks except the pizza and focaccia. You tell the cashier what you grabbed. There's self serve complimentary water on the side too. Got a pecan swirl, one of each square focaccia flavors, and a half pizza (hot). The pizza flavor of the day was triple mushroom with sesame ginger garlic vinaigrette and mozzarella. It was 10/10 delicious!! Do note that they don't heat up the focaccia. Personally, after tasting everything, I'd say the pizza is more worth it than the focaccia "pizzas". The pecan roll was quite addicting too. You can also skip the line if you want to order online on their website and schedule a pick up time, but my gift card didn't work so I just waited in line.

I've been here a few times and this time I remembered to take photos of the pastries before digging in! We tried the ube twice-baked croissant, ham and cheese croissant, curry potato bourek, and the spicy chicken pepper sausage croissant. Every pastry was perfectly flaky on the outside while staying soft and buttery on the inside. My favorites were the spicy chicken pepper sausage croissant and the ube twice-baked croissant. The savory pastries were packed with flavor, and the ube croissant struck the perfect balance of sweetness without being overpowering. I also love that they offer unique pastries you don't find at most bakeries. The café itself is small and cozy, and the staff were warm and friendly. It's usually packed, but we arrived at the perfect time and were able to grab everything we wanted before they sold out. We'll definitely be back to try more of their delicious pastries!
