"Verdict: Start figuring out how you’re going to get in line by 7:30am. These Filipino pastries are worth it. We know this Filipino bakery in Lincoln Square is not a restaurant. But the hype is so overwhelming, it needs to be addressed. By the time Del Sur opens, there’s already a line down the block of pastry-hungry early risers waiting to get in. It’s been like this since opening day, where some people wait nearly two hours to get their hands on longanisa croissants from this pop-up-turned-brick-and-mortar. But we’ll gladly join the mob (we’ve lined up multiple times already) if it means leaving with a citrusy calamansi chamomile bun or anything involving Del Sur’s expert lamination skills." - adrian kane, veda kilaru, john ringor, nick allen
