What to order
Honey Butter Toast
This signature slice of Japanese shokupan features a crunchy, caramelized honey crust that snaps when you bite into it, revealing the "fluffiest soft inside." Critics describe it as "a creation of wizardry" that tastes like a heavenly sticky toffee pudding.
Miso Bacon Escargot
A standout example of the bakery's signature "East meets West" style, this savory, umami-packed pastry is a substantial and satisfying choice for those seeking something more than a light sweet.
Pineapple & Mango Danish
A "pretty unique offering" that features a tropical profile with a shining passion fruit glaze and notes of lime zest. It is exquisitely crafted with sturdy, crispy layers that hold a juicy, wet filling without any "soggy bottom."

Good to know
It's a highly popular, fast-moving takeout operation with minimal seating. Expect a queue during peak hours, and get there early before the cult-favourite Honey Butter Toast sells out.
