Baking Story — Restaurant in Mexico City

Mediocre, slow, and impersonal service with decent Korean dessert options. Upon entering the café, the atmosphere felt a bit odd as there wasn’t anyone around until I walked further into the bakery area. I was met with stares and didn’t feel particularly welcome.

The large size shaved ice is good for sharing (between 2-3 people depending on how much you can eat).

Particularly love the addition of...
