Get the matcha cream puff (or the black sesame) and then admire the other cutest (and yummy) desserts that are in their display. Go earlier, though, because they run out later in the day. Drinks are good as well if you need a pick me up.

Excellence ambience and delicious street food. Thai street food beyond the normal Pad Thai - good for vegetarians but the meat and fish dishes are where they shine.
