Some bakeries earned their spot on this guide by perfecting the simple stuff, like sourdough loaves and morning buns. But Hi Bake, a chain from China with its first U.S. shop in Beverly Hills, is the opposite. It’s all about extravagant pastries displayed like they’re in a Cartier case. Croissants have a shimmery, mirror-like finish, like the pistachio spiral lined with chopped nuts and piped with a light cream, or a danish that goes heavy on truffle oil. But the best treats are the blueberry egg tarts with wavy edges you’ll be tempted to peel apart like Post-Its.
