A trend setting bakery. The Zagat's review for this spot sums it up: “Even when compared with Paris standards”, this “charming” Lower Pacific patisserie/cafe is an “awe-inspiring” showcase for baker Belinda Leong’s “world-class” “array” of “decadent pastries” (the “buttery” “kouign amann reigns supreme”); the space sports an “appealing” “European feel”, and while “the line can be daunting”, “dessert addicts” “pretty much can't go wrong.”
