Every pastry is made from scratch each morning. When the day's supply is gone, the doors close — a guarantee that every customer receives only the freshest product.
Silky, lightly sweetened egg custard in a buttery, flaky crust. San Francisco's most sought-after single pastry — worth every minute spent in line on Grant Avenue.

A few beloved classics that keep San Franciscans — and visitors from around the world — returning time and again.

Beyond the famous tarts, the counter offers wife cakes, cocktail buns, pineapple buns, almond cookies, and a rotating selection of Cantonese baked goods rooted in Hong Kong tradition.
