I love this place :’) I always come for their Japanese buns – so many savory and sweet options! Great spot to pick up lunch for the day in FiDi
– Beef curry yaki ($3.5): 9/10, the filling is flavorful, and the bread is really soft
– Matcha red bean crepe ($6.5): 9/10, really creamy and light. Could tell the matcha was good quality. Not too sweet. Wish there was more red bean

Super cute bakery and cakes. Got the buns and coffee. All were excellent. Freshly made and ton of pastry chefs in the back baking.
Go early on weekends since items sell quickly.

I’m not a sweets person (which may mean my standards are lower) but I really liked everything I got – the sweet potato bread, melon pan, miso cookie, and orange chocolate bread(?) were all perfectly sweet with great flavor and texture. Everything was reasonably priced as well, coming out to <$13 total. It was my first time and the interior was much more spacious than I imagined, with ample seating in the back (came around 1:15pm).
Will be back to try more items!! Definitely want to try some of the savory pastries and also non-bakery foods.

I stopped by to pick up a pastry this morning on my way to Brooklyn Bridge. They had a nice selection of bread, although it was less traditionally Japanese and more Americanized than I’d expected.
I chose the custard coronet ($2.85), which had rich cream (a bit too thick and heavy for me) that came out as I was eating it, but it was good.
The staff seemed friendly and I’ll keep this spot in mind for when I’m in the area again.

If you lack any self control, then avoid this place. I found out the hard way when I curiously poked my head inside this bakery as people were coming in and out. Ended up buying a matcha red bean bun and a soft fluffy cheesecake. Both were excellent and very well priced. I shall walk around this bakery in future to avoid temptation. Well done to the bakers for the delicious treats!!!

I come here at least once a week for their quality and well priced baked goods and coffee. Today, they outdid themselves by preparing a perfect mango and passion fruit cheesecake for my husband’s birthday, completely last minute. Cake flavor + appearance were perfect, and service was friendly and professional, as usual.

Absolutely perfect! I go here every time I’m in the city for work. A yummy Japanese lunch with new options every time I’ve visited. Grab some bread snacks for later!

The cheesecake was truly delicious! It wasn’t overly sweet. On my birthday, they even lit candles and wrote a message for me. Thank you!

I had a matcha latte that was remarkably perfect. I tried many pastries. Their an pan dough is the stuff pastry dreams are made of. Chewy and sweet inside with a touch of mouthwatering, fragrant pastry tang and an outside that is smooth and perfectly browned. My favorite was the kurumi white bean paste bun with the added walnuts for a rich, deep flavor. Second favorite was the cream pan. Unpopular opinion – I was underwhelmed by the paste in the red bean an pan. The dough is phenomenal, but the paste lacked flavor compared to other red bean paste items I have had. If I had this visit to do over, I would skip that one and the melon pan, which didn’t do much for me. I wish I would have tried the souffle cheesecake, the matcha crepe, and the sugar raisin pastry. There are so many choices here. It’s a top quality bakery. If you’re curious, just go. Don’t miss it.
