"Looking for Chinese baked good utopia? Garden Bakery, a tiny cash-only spot in Chinatown, is stocked with every kind imaginable. The pastry selection has a range. Sponge cakes puff up like hot air balloons, the egg tarts show off the flakiest crust, and the pineapple buns are usually still warm when somebody pulls one off a tray and hands it to you across the counter. Whether you’re stopping in for a small snack or filling a box to the brim, you’ll always find the sweet treat you’re craving. And unlike nearby Good Mong Kok, there’s never really a line." - julia chen 1, lani conway, ricky rodriguez, patrick wong
