Sample photoA small shop
Worth the queue
The shop is small and gets busy, especially at lunchtime, so you may have to queue to pay. Customers tell us it's worth it for the egg tarts alone.
We're open every day from 11am until 9pm.

New to Asian baking
Lots of our customers grew up with these flavours; plenty are trying them for the first time. A few answers to get you started.
What should I try first?
Customers' favourites are the Portuguese egg tarts, red bean buns and pandan bread.
Is it busy?
It's a small shop and lunchtime is busiest, so there may be a short queue to pay.
Are your cakes very sweet?
Many of our cakes and slices are lighter and less sweet than a classic British cake. Ask us and we'll help you choose.
