Kien Giang Bakery (also known as KG Bakery) is tucked away from the street; walking inside, you might wonder if the sparsely stocked bakery is on its last legs. But it's not—it's doing just fine, thank you very much—and you'd be wise to stop in for one of two things: a custom cake or banh mi. The made-to-order cakes are elaborate, whimsical and decadent, while the banh mi sandwiches include a traditional, French, Californian and vegetarian variation. A small price bump upgrades your sandwich into a combo meal with chips and a drink—and you'd be wise to take it.
