For a different take, try the baked Portuguese egg tart with its lovely burnt sugar top."

Tbaar is in a shopping center at St. Vincent St., the same shopping center was China Gourmet resto and Oriental Market is located. The place is a bit small with limited seating, but it was not so hard to get seats since most customers come in here to order to-go drinks."

"Bloomsday sits like a welcoming pub overtaken by wine nerds, beer-bottle philosophers and cocktail alchemists. It’s a place where all the deep thinking on booze — its provenance, its footprint, its utility, its charm — comes to a sharp point, with Kelsey Bush and Zach Morris from Green Engine Coffee and notable wine guy Tim Kweeder putting together lists upon lists of faraway pét-nats, local ciders and smart cocktails for all hours of the night (and day). With its all-day cafe format, solid kitchen and Euro-mod space, it’s the perfect example of evolved drinking and thoughtful consumption — a place made for 2019, designed to be ready for whatever 2020 brings."
