Blink and you might miss this patisserie-cafe specialising in small-batch bakes and sought-after filter coffees. The counter holds a bounty of caneles, madeleines and financiers, while cakes subtly reflect the owners’ Korean roots. Don’t miss the Mont Blanc featuring chestnut “noodles” piped around cream and candied chestnuts. Not up for a $20 Geisha coffee? The $5 batch brew is excellent.

Best for: People-watching from the window with a coffee and sweet treat.
