"A mix of delicious pastries, quirky statues, and
whimsical park vibes"
On our way back from Mitra’s Ranch, we made a quick stop at the colorful and ever-popular Baker’s Hill—and let me tell you, this is not just a bakery anymore. If you love sweets and love taking photos even more, this place will make your day.
๐ก “It's like stepping into a mini theme park with pastries in your hand and Elvis in the background.”

- ๐ Statues of pop icons like Elvis Presley and Marilyn Monroe
