Polestar is strongest when you treat it as a craft bakery: naturally leavened loaves, seeded breads, focaccia, croissants, babka, cookies, and rotating special breads.

Bread, croissants, filled brioche, tarts, eclairs, Paris-Brest, and mille feuille define the visit before anything else. This is the rare listing where bakery craft is not a side note; it is the whole reason the counter works.

The baked side has more shape than a pastry case. Japanese Cheesecake, Creampuff, puffle waffles, sundaes, and sweet crepes make dessert the main event.

The baked-goods case has enough specificity to matter, especially when paired with coffee. Chocolate Amaretti Cookies, Zucchini Scone, Biscotti, Pumpkin Loaf, and Chocolate Chunk Cookie give the cafe more than drink-only appeal.
