"All the usual suspects are present—from long black to flat white, mocha, cappuccino, latte, and hot chocolate—but remember you’re here for the sugar hit! Namely, Black Star Pastry's Insta-famous Strawberry Watermelon Cake, with fragrant layers of almond dacquoise (similar to meringue), rose-scented cream, watermelon, and strawberries, garnished with pistachios and dried rose petals. Other sweet delights include orange cake with Persian figs, lemon myrtle chiffon, and raspberry lychee. Pastries span buttery palmiers, custard flans, frangipane tarts, and macadamia brownies." - Sophie Davies
