Came here per recommendation of a friend and I'm deff glad I did! They offer a variety of items, from sweet to savory depending on what you're feeling like. 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 h

Tucked away on a quiet corner, this little Japanese bakery is pure magic in every bite. The moment you walk in, you’re greeted by the warm, sweet aroma of freshly baked melon pan, delicate matcha pastries, and fluffy shokupan bread. Each treat feels like it was made with love—soft, perfectly balanced in flavor, and never overly sweet. The staff are incredibly kind and attentive, making you feel like a cherished guest rather than just a customer. The cozy interior, with its minimalist Japanese charm, invites you to slow down and savor the moment. From the crispy edges of a warm taiyaki to the pillowy lightness of their cream-filled buns, everything here is a little taste of Japan’s comfort and elegance. If you’re looking for a place that feels like a delicious escape from the everyday, this

Got the Melon Pan, Chocolate Croissant, Iced Matcha Latte, and Iced Latte. 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!

This is literally the best coffee in town. I’ve been going once a week for the past two years, and it never disappoints. They also have the best apple cider doughnut in the area, seriously, you have to try it. 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!
