Wild Life Bakery

Bakery$

Regularly mobbed by queues, this airy backstreet bakery covers all kinds of carb cravings. Kimchi and cheddar croissants erupt with crunchy rivers of cheese. Gently spiced morning buns are devoured by kids. Classic croissants, decadently frosted cakes, and Danishes topped with the season’s finest fruit fill the cabinet. Plus, there’s a full menu of sandwiches and toasties, and a retail section.

Good to know: Bread often sells out well before closing time, so go early.
