What people say, in short
Hani's draws enthusiastic pastry and dessert recommendations, including cookies, carrot cake and a rice-crispy treat. One frequent visitor reports consistently enjoying it, and another particularly likes a corn-blackberry croissant. It is not universally loved: visitors variously criticize the cinnamon roll, savory pastries or sweetness of the cake, and one disappointed visitor only finished the rice-crispy treat.
