I'm glad to see they have a brick & mortar now and the space is well-designed and the kitchen area overlooking the pastry display, there's some seating which was nice to see (I was expecting none), and the staff was so friendly! It was a Thursday around 10am and thankfully there was no line and they were still fully stocked. We got a bunch of pastries that I came in wanting to try and others that just caught my eye. Everything was honestly fantastic. If you're not looking to spend ~$40 on pastries, then the standouts I would get were the Passionfruit Matcha Danish, Ube Donut, and Strawberry Calamansi Shortcake in that order. The Passionfruit Matcha Danish was a perfect pastry (and I don't ever say that). The passionfruit cream actually tasted like passionfruit, the fact that they use Kettl matcha shows they take quality seriously, and the white chocolate ganache mixed with the matcha powder made for such a creamy, delicious, and earthy bite. The fried brioche on the Strawberry Calamansi Shortcake was so pillowy and fresh and I loved the white chocolate chantilly. The Ube Donut was honestly quite dense but what I liked about it was that it was filled to the brim with ube pastry cream! And this cream tasted unlike any other ube cream I've had; it had some texture (not fully creamy), great ube flavor, and balanced sweetness. I found the ube glaze on the outside to be too sticky and slightly weird but the ube brioche & pastry cream helped me quickly look past that. Both drinks we got were also beautifully crafted, the flavors were spot on, and the layers were distinct. They looked better than they tasted but honestly, I'm comparing it to the incredible pastries so it's a high bar. I wish they had more savory (non-pork) pastry options. All in all, a great first visit here and I'd definitely come back!

She would have given it 5/5 but for me it was alright. I had better pandan cake and it felt like they used too much of the concentrate instead of fresh pandan leaves. You can taste the artificial pandan which I don't like. I would given it 3/5. Overall the presentation of the cakes is what drew me to come back. I would like to try the fruit cake next time.

Soft, fluffy ube chiffon, rolled clean like it trained for this, packed with ube whipped cream. Zero cracks. Zero mercy. Then came the mochi donuts.

Didn't stop there because I have no self-control: Berry marble cheesecake -- straight-up irresistible. Mille-feuille (Napoleon) -- aka "a thousand layers of don't ask questions." Flaky, buttery, rich... this was the victory lap dessert. Coffee? Top tier. Staff? Attentive, locked in, took care of business. Came for donuts. Left emotionally satisfied. Real men eat dessert.

That quickly went in the list of places I had to go to. I'm so glad I did. I went on a Sunday around 10:30am. There was definitely a crowd but it was minimal and organized chaos in a way. I did get the chocolate cake and original glazed with a sugar rise and a few donut holes. Everything was great. I could taste a little oil from being fried, but that's just my preference. Some people are ok with that. But let's talk about that sugar rise donut! Sugar rise was my favorite! When I bite into any donut covered in granulated sugar it better coat my lips like my chapstick. That sugar just sat on my lips as if it was just meant to be there. The staff were amazing. They were working hard getting orders taken and putting orders out. The interior was quaint and clean. Bottled water for $1 is a major win in my book! So thank you for that. Seating is limited. It's tiny in there. Great spot! Hit them up!

It's colossally big and very, very easy to chew on without needing something hot and wet like coffee or tea. But I do think it would be better with a drink. What I've also noticed is that they really prioritize the decorations on the donuts, and I think that also brings out their peak service. I was served during the Governors Ball where there were a lot of people and a lot of vendors. They handled their service very well. I couldn't tell you the exact location of the place because it was a vendor, but I assume it's probably somewhere I would conveniently go to. I definitely wanna go to the Brooklyn location.
