When you enter the store, you'll see their signature product, King Cream Pies, lined up on the counter.
It's an open kitchen, so you can see the pies being made and enjoy the live experience.

The pie crust is made with plenty of butter and caramelized on both sides, giving it a crispy texture that crumbles with just a light touch.The inside is filled with plenty of cream.
Another special touch is the "sealing chocolate" with the store's logo on top. It's so cute you'll almost feel bad eating it.
Although it is basically a take-out, there is a free space at the back of the store. It is a luxurious space where you can relax and unwind. (*) As of December 2024, the free space is not available.
