“We visited Ones Cafe and Bakery on a Saturday around midday to try some of their popular pastries, and everything in the display looked straight out of a Paris bakery. The selection is super unique and beautifully made. The croissants were incredibly flaky and tasted extremely fresh. My boyfriend got the fresh tart (kind of similar to an egg tart), and I got the cinnamon monkey bread. They heated everything up for us, and we shared the salted egg cream latte — absolutely phenomenal. As Asians would say: not too sweet, perfect texture, and very balanced. We actually loved it so much that we brought a friend back the very next morning. This time we ordered more fresh tarts and tried the orange pineapple kouign-amann, which ended up being my favorite pastry overall. The tarts tasted even better earlier in the morning, probably because they were extra fresh right out of the oven. For drinks, we got the salted cream latte again and also tried the ube latte. We added espresso to the ube drink since it normally doesn’t come with coffee. It still tasted a little mild for our preference, so next time we’d probably try a different specialty drink instead. Overall, this place completely lived up to the hype for us. Amazing pastries, thoughtful flavors, and such a cozy weekend treat spot. We honestly can’t wait to come back again (probably every weekend at this rate).”
