All the carb items both salty and sweet have always been good. on the last trip, I didn't get the egg tart as they looked a bit burnt. I haven't tried their meats yet, but will eventually get around to it.

I will generally ask them to not chop up the meat for me. It's convenient and they do it very quickly, but my boyfriend is not a fan of the shards of bone co-mingling with the meat. I will warn you that cutting it up at home will result in a HUGE mess because these birds are fatty, but it's worth it to me to carefully debone the meat. There's a bit of a language barrier but that doesn't stop me from asking for extra ginger scallion oil. Ask for it. They will give you one sauce. It's really good and we're not Chinese and they don't understand that we can't get enough of it. The soy sauce is also good. There is a bakery here but I've only ever gotten the meat. It is a typical Chinese cafe. Basic. No frills. Nothing fancy. The food just kind of speaks for itself. This is a To-go place. I think every time I've been here, there's been little or no wait.

Very comfortable, right smack in downtown, but average. The jasmine mango tea was delicious but the…read moredesserts were just OK. The selection was limited for a dessert establishment.

The sweetness was a bit on the stronger side, and I wish the black sesame had a deeper toasted flavor, but overall it still did the trick. A cozy, comforting bowl -- solid 4/5 for satisfying my HK dessert cravings.

First visit since COVID to this charming but cramped and aging shop with over-the-counter service,…read moreabout a dozen different muffins, and a single tiny table by the window. It's almost entirely takeout and on weekend mornings the line is as packed as a subway car during rush hour. The staff is efficient, courteous, and businesslike. I bought a box of muffins at opening and the whole box felt warm-- a great sign. -- Raspberry Chocolate Chip Muffin: I ate this in the shop shortly after opening, while it was still piping hot, with the raspberries nearly a liquid and the chips somewhat melty. Nice soft texture and good contrast of flavors. -- Blueberry Muffin: I broke off and sampled a piece a little later in the morning (okay, 15 minutes later). Still somewhat warm, with a sponginess leaning toward Play-Doh territory (not necessarily a bad thing), but overall good. Neither noticeably sugary nor noticeably buttery. Blueberries were closer to adequate than impressive. Good muffin but with no standout characteristic to hang your hat on. -- Cranberry Muffin: Probably the best of the bunch. The highest crown (though no overhang), with a crusty surface and a good amount of big cranberries on top. Decent understated flavor to the dough, almost biscuit-like. -- Chocolate Chip Muffin: Overloaded with chips on the top surface (I'd hesitate to call it a crown), with none below. Plain dough that's thankfully not overly sugared, but not particularly moist. These muffins aren't cheap. Once you factor in the tax and tip, it's close to $7 each, and we're not talking about particularly large muffins. If anything, they're small, with no overhang and no streusel. Nothing wrong with small (they're dense, so will still fill you up), but for the price it catches your attention, as does a "coffee house" with only one table. The muffins are a well-deserved 4 even without overhang and streusel, but the other aspects bring it to a 3. Best for local pick-up.

The charm is in its no-fuss interior with Sicilian accents, Italian sodas, and a few imported products that make you feel like you stumbled into a Sons of Italy gathering at the VFW in 1975. The name implies seafood, but that seems more of a nod to the Italian island than a specialty food. There were not a lot of pastry selections, but the cake slices that were there looked good and there was a limited, fresh menu including a lovely caprese panini we got To Go. This is not a hipster barista latte art remote work kind of place, but it is certainly a unique retro experience and obviously a neighborhood gem that has stood the test of time. Bene.

Cinnamon roll just ok, not over the top. 3 staff working the counter, service a little slower than I expected they were involved in their own conversations. A small clean white bakery gives it the feel of being a bit larger. The trash bag near the register w trash hanging out was not a good look while I ate my roll and coffee. . My friends liked what was left to choose from. A blueberry tart and cookies, a few patisserie 5.00 and up a piece. Worth going back.
