Phenomenal hidden gem bakery in Astoria. I’m glad it’s out of the way otherwise it’d have a massive line 😅. The croissant is 9/10: crispy, flaky, buttery, and slightly burnt. The pandan muffin was not too sweet (light) and had a crispy top with soft bottom and interior. Perfect muffin structure and exactly as sweet as you want it. Coffee was pretty standard, and so was the food. These bakers definitely know what they’re doing.
Holy COWWWW this is one of the best breakfast spots I’ve been too in a LONG time!! Wow. Everything was phenomenal, but my top recs are - cardamom morning bun - char siu breakfast sandwich - pineapple pork bun breakfast sandwich Grab a sourdough loaf on your way out! Coffee is also delicious
This is our favorite pastry/breakfast spot in Astoria. The pastries are always made very well, and I appreciate that the ones we’ve tried have not been tooth-achingly sweet. The breakfast sandwiches are great (and huge), but they also change their specials a lot so we generally get those. Everything we’ve had has been delicious and interesting. The cherry on top: they have good coffee. The only thing is that they get busy, and they only have enough space for a few tables, so we try to go as earl
