Joy Luck House

If you’re looking for something sweet, Joy Luck House is a great stop on your Chinatown crawl. And while the small shop serves breakfast, the desserts here really shine. There’s a silver counter out back where a small but mighty selection of pastries are encased in glass display. Depending on the time of day, they serve egg tarts and moon cakes that are warm, fluffy, and just the right balance of light and sweet. The shop also serves a selection of teas including a homemade ice tea and taro boba, which you can sit down and enjoy or slurp on your way back to the train.
