"Walk into this East Village bakery and you’ll be hit by the smell of the curried beef and butter that’s used for some of the best savory baked goods in SD. Whether you’re grabbing snacks before work or planning on taking a seat in their café, the move is to always get their curry pan—crispy and flaky on the outside, and generously filled with soft bits of vegetables and meat mildly spiced by curry paste. And if you’re looking for something sweet, the macadamia pie is a sticky, sugary delight. Monday morning around 9am is the best time to swing by this neighborhood hotspot, when you’ll have a better chance of snagging street parking and avoiding the line that often wraps around the block." - sabrina medora
