Great experience! Employees were very kind, and the cafe had a very nice atmosphere. The Strawberry Milk Cream croissant was absolutely incredible as well! Highly recommend!

This is a tiny Japanese style bakery with an amazing selection of bread that is fresh, and very delicious. The prices are good. I feel like I’m getting amazing value for what I’m paying. The drinks are pretty good as well. If you’re in the area I recommend this place, you won’t regret it. Staff is friendly. The atmosphere is nice. My wife and I had the Curry bead, the Japanini (My favorite), and the tomato basil.

This place is truly a hidden gem. They are a small bakery, so things do run out, and I recommend going early to get the full experience. The baked goods are so delicious and fresh. Not super sweet but more of a subtle sweetness, so now sicking sweet morning croissants. Speaking of croissants, they are buttery, flaky, crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside. Highly recommend the Earl Grey croissant with the Sakura Latte. I will honestly be coming here more often, it’s just that good.
There is a parking structure close by, so parking is no issue.

Came here looking at the great reviews. The store is welcoming. They have a lot of variety of breads. The prices are good too.
I went ahead and grabbed a bunch of breads including the japanini, cheesy jalapeño panini, tomato basil salt and butter roll etc.
the breads were fresh and very yummy.
The employees were also friendly.
Will definitely be back if I’m in town again. This time was just passing thru.

The Japanese are always known for their quality and reliability. From cars to tools they excel at making quality goods. The Loaf definitely upholds that quality. The bread is unbelievable good. I’d recommend the cookie salt butter roll and the mocha French toast (tastes like coffee bread). The Loaf also has drinks that are better than a boba shop. I’d recommend the sea salt taro latte. They also sell some jams and spreads that I’ve never even heard of. Only downside to the Loaf is it closes at 2:30. This place is so good I gotta cap the amount of times I come so I never get bored of it

Delicious drinks, fresh pastries! Clean and organized digs. Silky, tasty sea salt foam on both drinks (we got the taro latte & matcha cold brew). Intriguing choices in the drink fridges. Great & fast service despite busy holiday work visibly going on in the open kitchen.
Wish I had asked for the possibility of whether or not we could warm up the pastries but they were delicious nonetheless.
Only way to improve the place is indoor/outdoor seating. The café is located in a courtyard where you could sit but no dedicated seating. Don’t let this stop you from getting a delicious breakfast/lunch though. Well worth it!

The Loaf Japanese Bakery is a unique business. They have something for all ages. I am a huge fan of bakeries and Cafés combination. They have everything under one roof. There is a large parking structure beside the retail businesses. The surrounding area is a great place to walk or sit while you’re enjoying a taste treat. The bakery and beverages are made with quality ingredients. The Loaf’s staff are very friendly and knowledgeable about their pastries and drinks. I suggest you visit with your family and friends. The Loaf is Closed on Mondays.

What a delicious hidden gem. I can’t get past how kind and helpful the employee was. Mentioned it was our first time here and gave me a breakdown of their menu and I did not once fell rushed. Their pastries were so yummy and it was nice trying out some Japanese baked goods for a change. Everything we tried was fresh and good. Wanted to try a variety of items and all the things we purchased were a hit with my family. They carry baked pastries, hot and cold drinks. Will definitely be returning. It has a great location as well as the building adjacent to it is a parking structure as on the street you’d be lucky if you found parking. Highly recommend

Cutest shop ever! They have pastries and bread on their counters. Drinks are in front of the register. They also sell spreads! I will go back for those.
French toast: take it home and warm it up for just 5-10 seconds!
S’mores puff pastry- I warmed it up and softened the marshmallow. The pull with the puff pastry was perfect!
Chocolate bread character- chocolate isn’t too sweet! It’s fluffy!
Custard bread character – could’ve used a bit more cream but still delicious!
Cube croissant- lots of layers and the cream was unique! Very good! I also love the look of it.
Sunrise: sweetness was perfect!
Match mochi: fluffy bread!
Price: it is a bit higher than most bakeries. It’s a spot to at least try once or come for your favorite pastries/bread!
Parking: parking garage is right next to the bakery! Call them if you cannot find it. If you’re looking for parking on the streets, it’ll be difficult!
Hours: their opening hours are pretty short so check before you go in case they’re closed!

I believe it’s the best bake shop in SCV, made from authentic Hokkaido flour and Japanese bakers. The white loaf is simply buttery delicious and soft perfect for a home made sando. And they also make the best currypan in LA, IMHO.
