In May, we reported the bakery once again had huge queues outside. Eager foodies arrived 40 minutes before the venue opened. Every weekend since opening in 2023, huge queues have been spotted on the street with the owner having to implement measures with a limit of two of each pastries per person introduced in June last year. One woman shared her experience on TikTok after she endured the long queues. She said: "Everything was just so fresh and so good but I did enjoy the cardamom bun the best." The bakery has become a phenomenon on social media and has been branded the 'world's best bakery' with influencers hopping on the trend to see what the fuss is about.
