Koko has a great selection of typical Chinese/Taiwanese/Hong Kong style pastries, both sweet and savory. You can even purchase packs of frozen buns in preparation for those long winters! There's a $5 minimum for card, which you shouldn't have too hard of a time doing if you get something for here and something for the road, or bring along a friend. So far, I've stuck mostly with the pastries/buns and everything has been pretty good except for this strange sweet and savory cake thing with pork sung, green onion, and custard... Not sure who made that up but it's not working too well. My friend is a big fan of their savory rice rolls, and one day I'll indulge in one of their too-pretty-to-eat desserts in the refrigerated case. I'm looking at you, mousses.
It seems like they keep baking throughout the day rather than finishing in the morning, so you'll frequently see trays of fresh bread sitting out on various tables. It's tempting, but try not to steal a nibble.
Their milktea drinks are hit or miss - some are really sweet and some seem to be heavily artificially-flavored. They have a pretty unique list of flavors - choose wisely! I've also tried the Hong Kong coffee, which is basically all the types of sugar and cream you could think of mixed with coffee, but surprisingly didn't keep me up until 2am.
Two bathrooms are located in the hallway beyond the door next to the buns. Nothing special to see here, just do your business and go enjoy your treats.
