I really enjoyed my brief visit to St.Honore Pastries. I'd originally planned to go to one of the newer spots but I've been here many times and knew they wouldn't disappoint me. I wish the rest of the city was like Chinatown that place is always jumping it feels like NYC. 

Service 4.5/5
The counter lady was all business but the two people in front of me were elderly and I thought she could have been a little gentler with their cake box. I'd a feeling there was an actual cake inside and the man commented to me that "this is a peaceful place," right before she slammed his cake box on the counter. Now he epitomized customer loyalty but I could see (though he didn't say it) he didn't feel appreciated by the counter lady. A loyal customer is special and should be treated accordingly. 

Ambiance 3/5
I've been here before it's not peaceful. But I enjoyed the people watching. There are usually senior citizens sitting together watching the news in Chinese with a cup of coffee or tea it's lovely to see them. And even better b/c the scent of coffee wafting through the cafe/bakery smelled divine. I didn't order it though b/c I'm a habitual insomniac so no caffeine for me after 2pm.

Food
Egg tart 3/5
Though it was delicious it was way too sweet for me and i love sweets. The tart crust was perfect but the egg custard was too sweet. I won't order it again although it was very creamy and otherwise cooked perfectly.

Rainbow cake 5/5
Not too sweet - it was perfect and just the right amount of frosting. The sponge cake was moist and had the right texture. I basically have the pallet of a little kid so if i see rainbow sprinkles i say yes please.

My check came to $2 so I highly recommend you make a visit and try different items b/c at those prices you can afford to take some risks !
