This giant bakery-cafe is a beacon for sweet tooths. Ogle through floor-to-ceiling windows at croissants being filled with almond frangipane and tangy blueberry jam as you ponder your selection. The orange-poppyseed escargot is so zesty it’s like bathing in citrus, while cracking through the chocolate glaze of a peanut butter cup cruffin to reveal its oozing salty-sweet centre almost feels illegal.

Good to know: Nab a pack of pre-made croissants or pain au chocolat to bake at home and impress your friends.
