When I’m feeling hungry and I need quick, affordable, and most importantly, delicious food, I immediately head to one of my favorite spots on the West Bank, Keefer Court Bakery & Cafe. I really like their pastry puffs. They are a cheap quick snack and they will heat it in the microwave for you. Try the red bean sesame ball! Yum! Keefer Court is an impressive shop serving up Hong Kong style food and baked goods. Vegan and Vegetarian options too!
