The croissant stuffed with Thai tea custard and mango puree probably tells you everything about what Bake Sum is doing: Cantonese bakery traditions running headlong into pan-Asian flavors via laminated dough. The okonomiyaki danish keeps its bonito flakes and smoky fishiness intact. The New York Times flagged their croissubi in 2024. Counter service, a few sidewalk tables, and a line worth joining on a Grand Lake morning.

Okonomiyaki danish
“Take the okonomiyaki danish ($5.25), which sacrifices a few elements of the traditional Japanese pancake in favor of flaky layers of laminated dough.”
San Francisco Chronicle -
