"The longest-operating bakery in San Francisco’s Chinatown, Eastern Bakery has been around since 1924. The cash-only spot is a local favorite, especially for their signature coffee crunch cake: soft yellow sponge cake topped with toffee bits and mocha cream. During Mid-Autumn Festival (or any time of year, really), pick up a lotus-paste mooncake or three—while many bakeries import their mooncakes, Eastern makes them fresh in-house." - megan zhang, julia chen 1, patrick wong
