Description
This 7th Avenue bakery draws a mix of opinions, but those who look past the inconsistent ratings find a reliable neighborhood spot. The kitchen turns out savory plates of short rib and lotus chicken alongside rapid baking services, even preparing cake orders in under five hours. While you might occasionally run into unavailable desserts or incorrect fillings, the counter service is friendly, and the menu extends to simple sandwiches.
