Dropped by around noon on Sunday this past weekend. There was a line; you get in the same line whether you want to order in-person or you're there to pick up an online order. You cannot currently enter the store at all; they've set up a small window that you step up to. The staff is behind plexi-glass and they were wearing masks. Customers are also required to wear masks and they have markings on the sidewalk so that you maintain distance from others while standing in line.

Wanted to pick up dessert for a small dinner (about 5-6 people). I asked for the Salted Maple Custard Pie. The lady behind the counter was nice enough to bring it out to show me as I wanted to confirm the size before buying it. As it turned out, there was only one left so I went for it. Couldn't resist getting a tahini brown butter donut for myself - that was also the last one they had left.

The pie was delicious and everybody really liked it. It had a crisp, flaky crust that's a little bit like baklava, and the salty-sweet combination of the maple custard was wonderful. They sell it by the slice too. The donut is brioche filled with tahini brown butter custard and glazed with salted caramel ganache. I couldn't really taste the nutty richness of brown butter anywhere but it was still good-quality pastry.

Overall, this is a small gem of a bakery. A little pricey, but worth it for a treat once in a while.
