Green Tea Cake (top)

Royal Bakery
Although the front window features a wizened monstrosity that might just be Miss Havisham's wedding cake, the rest of Royal Bakery's glass cases are filled with fresh and attractive Korean-style breads, tarts, and cakes. The green tea cake is a delicate sandwich of sponge and whipped-cream frosting with a mild but appreciable bitterness--ideal (green) tea party fare. For breakfast treats, there's a range of soft, yeasty buns buns filled with velvety jam made from beans of every available hue.
