Description

Tucked onto Baxter Street, the tiny shop bakes Hong Kong-style paper-wrapped sponge cakes with a texture that balances light fluffiness with a soft, custardy center. Options span Asian-inspired flavors like green pandan coconut with a pronounced, natural taste. The affordable menu pairs these baked treats with housemade drinks, including Vietnamese coffee with customizable sugar levels. With very limited seating inside, the space leans heavily toward takeout.
