Description




Lelecha pairs its bakery selection with a focus on modern tea culture. The drink lineup features handcrafted loose-leaf teas, cheese foam fruit teas, and sweet Thai mango sticky rice yogurt. Alongside the main buns, the shop offers Basque cheese tarts, a balanced blueberry cream cheese bun, and the signature Dirty Bun. The pastries emphasize distinct textures; the matcha taro bun features a crispy, flaky crust packed with rich taro and milk cream, while the durian buns become soft and milky when reheated, surprisingly leaving no strong smell.
