Exceptional Crepe Cakes: Our crepe cakes are a true highlight and a popular choice among our customers. As one customer raved, "Finally got to cross off a long-standing bucket list item: crepe cake—and I’m so glad I did it here." The delicate layers and perfect creaminess, especially our ube flavor, are often praised: "I tried the ube flavor, and it was everything I hoped it would be. Beautiful layers of delicate crepes with just the right amount of cream in between, and that earthy-sweet ube flavor that’s both unique and comforting. It’s a dessert that feels light, but still delivers that luxurious, melt-in-your-mouth richness." We also make sure to inform our customers about thawing instructions for optimal enjoyment: "Just a heads-up for first-timers: the crepe cakes are sold frozen, so you need to give them time to thaw.

May 23 · Hima RAmazing Chinese pastry. So good. Got a curry beef bun and matcha fluff. Not too sweet, savoury curry and matcha bitterness, all tastes just on spot in both buns. That add 50C on a payment with card under 10$, but okay, some other bakeries don’t let you even let you pay under 10. Recommendation!
February 07 · Mariia VladymyrovaCute little bakery with some great treats. We had the Ube Crepe Cake (so so good) and a honey cake. Very enjoyable and would go back!
May 24 · Nicola ComleyThe Matcha mango cream, custard bun was divine! It was so great with the Boba in it and perfectly creamy with the right flavors, the only critique would be if there was a little bit more Matcha flavor!!! we also had the brown sugar boba one which we also really liked, but not as much! We thought the flavors in the mango one were a bit better! We also had Ube cheesecake, which was just right, I think sticking to the buns is best because the ube cheesecake didn’t really have much flavor! Very reasonable price for how big the custard buns are!!!
