Yes there's a wait but what awaits you inside is the absolute best that any bakery, anywhere, any time of day has to offer. In particular, if they have the fresh berry tart, you're in luck!!

Great BBQ, I like their pork chop and lamb cheek curry. Mai Tai is originated here so don't forget to give it a try! Come during sunset time and sit by the window
