Finally made it to Beverly Canon Gardens with my besties for a highly anticipated visit to Hibake, the first overseas branch of this Chengdu-based bakery. It's affectionately called the "puppy bakery" because the owner loves rescuing stray dogs, and the logo is a cartoon of her own adopted dog!

🍰 Must-Try Bakes
We ordered several recommended items—almost all were hits:
💗 Signature Egg Tarts ($6.99 - $7.99)
· Matcha Egg Tart: Topped with a thick layer of matcha powder. The rich, eggy custard inside is balanced perfectly by the matcha, cutting through the sweetness.
· Blueberry Egg Tart: Features a giant blueberry on top and a blueberry jam filling inside. Very fruity.
· Dubai Chocolate Egg Tart: Has a smooth chocolate glaze on top, sprinkled with pistachio cookie crumbs. The filling is a unique pistachio flavor.
💜 Walnut Brioche ($6.99)
A soft,sweet bread topped with crispy walnut pieces. The specially whipped cream filling is the star—it tastes like ice cream when chilled and is sweet and creamy at room temperature.
🎃 Pumpkin Bun ($6.99)
· Finally, a fall treat for the Asian palate! This seasonal limited edition contains NO cinnamon!
· The soft, pumpkin-shaped bun is adorable. The dough has a subtle pumpkin flavor, and the filling is packed with real Kabocha squash chunks and cheese. It's wholesome, not too sweet, and totally reminds us of bakeries back home.
☕️ Coffee Pairings
· Pistachio Dirty Latte ($6.99): The pistachio paste includes actual nut pieces, paired with an iced latte. Rich and textured.
· Cloud Top ($5.99): Features a thick layer of sea salt cream cheese foam on top of slightly sweetened iced Americano. A perfect mix of salty and sweet.
· Classic Latte ($5.99): A solid, standard latte. The hot drink cups are adorable with their cartoon designs that you can color in yourself!
