Amazing bread and pastry. My only gripe is the staff, sometimes they seem lazy to do their job. But I still come here because their product is very good.

I just enjoyed another delightful box of mini pastries. The cheesecake is consistently smooth and creamy. I've been indulging in their treats since the 1980s!
