Good things come to those who queue, and here they come in the form of unrivalled pastries, from innovative cruffins to plain croissants often dubbed the world's best. In the centre of this warehouse space is a glass, climate-controlled cube where the magic happens. Book well in advance for the Lune Lab experience, an innovative three-course pastry flight ($65).

There's now a smaller shop in the city, opposite the Grand Hyatt.
