A wonderful and fun bakery in the heart of Chinatown. Love the design and vibes, but also the cookies and cake! Nothing super special other than a fun bakery in this area. Good prices and all. I think i wouldn't place it at any top favorite bakery of mine here in LA, but one i won't say no to either.
