Summary: Hokkaido-based pastry chain Bake Cheese Tart, which has over 40 shops throughout Japan and Asia, has opened its first U.S. outpost on the bottom level of San Francisco’s Westfield Centre. Though it’s only a few days old, it’s already drawing long lines, with more than 50 people — both eager fans and curious passersby — waiting upwards of 30 minutes for one of the shop’s $3.50 tarts.
