Description




Named after the Vietnamese phrase for "it's a leaf," the shop uses a golden ginkgo logo to represent its cross-cultural roots. While the bakery offers Western options like tiramisu, its standout treats are the Asian-flavored desserts and baked goods. The selection includes a signature coconut pandan sticky rice, seasonal tangerine jasmine tea, and various puffs. Sweetness is generally moderate, though savory items like the salted egg yolk pastries can have a very pronounced egg flavor.
