Liliha Bakery and Coffee Shop |
 |
Take a number, smile at the lady, point to the coco puffs and the cinnamon twists and the chantilly cake, pick up your box and walk out smiling. It's a formula that's worked for 56 years at Liliha Bakery, founded by Koo Takakuwa and now run by the second generation. The line forms before daybreak six days a week, both for the service bakery and the 18-seat counter where you can eye the awesome butter mountain while you wait for your hotcakes or hamburger steak. Lively and nostalgic.
