Why locals love it: A two-sister bakery booth tucked at the Drury Street end of George's Street Arcade, scones and a flaky savage roll the locals pick up before any tourist finds the stall.
Tip: Counter only inside the Arcade; the savage roll and a tower scone are the daily picks. Closes 18:30 most days, 20:00 Thursday.
