The main star is the cheap cream buns, available in four different flavours including margarine and chocolate. These buns make for a perfect snack option for gatherings and events! But remember, they are only available on Tuesdays and Fridays, from 9am till they’re sold out. To secure your buns, it’s better to arrive early as they do draw quite a crowd.
