But this review is about something bigger than dessert. The strawberry cheesecake here reminds me of my mom. It was her favorite, and it was one of the last desserts I got to share with her. Anytime she wanted a sweet treat, that's what she asked for. Ordering it now keeps me connected to her. This past July, on her 3rd birthday in heaven, I placed an order to celebrate her. The menu only had cherry cheesecake that day, so I wrote a note explaining what the strawberry meant to me. The staff didn't just make it happen, they sent an extra slice of strawberry cheesecake on top of it. That kind of thoughtfulness is rare. The people here have always been this kind. We love everyone who works there, and we're grateful for the small moments of care they've shown our family. Thank you for everything.

But I was lured by the display of pastries and I had the last minute change of mind. Got a custard bun and a small size milk tea, and paid a total of $2.2. What a friendly and insane price! The bun was warm and soft when I devoured at home, custard nicely melted inside. It wasn't overly sweet to my delight. Also a decent size for a breakfast. I look forward to trying seemingly everyone's-favorite bun and some savory menus. Sausage bun looked big and savory at less than $3. Am I in NYC? Also loved they had English menu along with Chinese everywhere. Sounds weird to praise, but you will see what I mean if you've been to the neighborhood. Anyway a no frills, very budget friendly Chinese bakery where you can get satisfactory breakfast goodies: sweet or savory.
