I ordered a chocolate croissant and a corn & cheese roll.
The corn & cheese was savory yet a little sweet and it was honestly so good. The chocolate croissant had the the perfect amount of crunch to it. You could tell both items were fresh.
I also tried their Maple Latte which I really enjoyed as well. A flavor that paired so nicely which I was not expecting!
They have a few tables outside so I got to enjoy my treats here.
They also are very allergen sensitive which is a bonus and have a ingredients quick code sign so you can navigate their items, love this!!
Check this place out!
PS. They aren’t open every day, so double check their hours!
Nestled quietly in a charming little street, this tiny Japanese bakery is an absolute treasure for anyone who loves authentic, delicate flavors. From the moment you step through the door, the air is filled with the comforting aroma of freshly baked bread, sweet corn cheese , and a hint of matcha that instantly warms your heart.
The display is a feast for the eyes—perfectly golden melon ban with a crisp, sugary shell, soft and fluffy loaves that look like clouds, and beautifully crafted pastries filled with custard, azuki beans, or seasonal fruits. Each piece feels like a work of art, made with care and precision. You can tell the bakers here put their heart into every recipe, creating treats that are flavorful without being overly sweet, just as Japanese baking should be.
One of the standout delights is their matcha cream bun—soft, pillowy bread with a smooth, fragrant matcha filling that is both earthy and sweet. , with its thin, crisp shell and warm, perfectly sweet center, is another must-try. Every bite feels like a little trip to Japan.
The staff here are just as delightful as the pastries. They greet you warmly, offer recommendations with a smile, and seem genuinely happy to share their creations with you. The shop itself is small but cozy, with a minimalist, Japanese-inspired design that makes you want to linger just a little longer, maybe with a hot cup of
In a world of big, flashy cafés, this tiny bakery stands out by being humble, heartfelt, and full of flavor. It’s the kind of place you visit once and immediately know you’ll come back to again and again—a true hidden gem for anyone who appreciates the art of Japanese baking.
The melon pan was really good and I enjoyed the sweet crust. I just wish the inside was a bit more “cloudy”/fluffy (less doughy) like traditional melon pans. The Chocolate Croissant was amazing. Really liked the chocolate filling and the flakiness of the croissant.
The matcha latte was pretty good, but a bit too sweet. The coffee in the iced latte was a bit too acidic for my taste. All their baked goods are pretty cheap tho!
Everything they make is delicious, and their bread is amazing too, especially the Japanese-style one. The quality, the flavor, and the consistency keep me coming back every single week. Highly recommend!
There’s 2 little two seater tables inside and one inside. I didn’t see anyone sitting, most were just picking up to go.
Staff is super friendly and nice, patient with us even though we arrived 10 minutes before closing. They still had customers coming in as we left right before they closed for the day.
Since it was later in the day, they were sold out of some items. We ended up getting 2 Matcha lattes, chocolate croissant and corn cheese bun.
Matcha lattes tasted pretty good! I just got back from a trip in Japan so not as good as those, could use even more matcha or matcha flavor, but better than the other cafes I’ve tried around here.
Corn bun was fine, would order again, did the job.
Now chocolate croissant…. Love love love. The flakiness the chocolate the taste, just reallly delicious all around. The customer before us kept talking about it so we thought why not? And so glad we did. Will be back for sure!
Update (9/19/29): I have travelled far and wide in pursuit of a great matcha latte. I have gone to Japan and I have gone to Copenhagen, but this bakery is still the standout in my mind. The matcha latte is perfect, it’s neither 10$ or badly mixed or washed out with oat milk or cloying or highly caffeinated or mixed with ice or too much/too little.
