"The longanisa croissant and turon danish at this takeout-only Filipino bakery in Lincoln Square deserve an Art Institute exhibition. They’re pastry marvels with immaculate honeycomb structures and ASMR-ready flaky layers. But Del Sur’s pastry prowess doesn’t stop at lamination—other creations like ube oatmeal cream pies and bay-leaf-infused adobo brownies are equally delicious. Just know that a visit requires showing up way before their 8am opening, or expecting a long line." - veda kilaru, john ringor
