Bread, Espresso &

Bakery Cafe during the day and Wine & Dine Bar in the evening. Excellent French-inspired Japanese baked goods. A nice quiet place to spend a leisurely afternoon over coffee drinks near the beach.

Visited here twice while visiting the beach nearby. I personally like visiting here to grab drinks and small pastry and head over to beach nearby. This place offers soft, chewy cubic milk bread that I love. In terms of drinks, I have tried their matcha blueberry and hojicha latte. Their drinks are for people who like to enjoy genuine tea flavor without artificial sweetness. I do like enjoying their authentic matcha and hojicha flavors, but I do think they have room to make their drinks better. I personally like their pastry more than drinks. If you like simple milk bread, it’s worth checking out here while walking along the beach nearby.

This is a most wonderful Japanese bakery, with fusion of tastes that will make you want to come back again and again. The staff is friendly and professional, and you can either stay and have a nice cup of hot coffee and some bakery items, or take home - be ready, you will want to take home a lot! Delicious overall, and worth making a stop!

Dropped by to see the store but since it was later a lot of their breads were out. Bought their raisin bread (@4" cube) to see. I’d say a typical Japanese pastry shop. Had some depth to the bread. BUT @$7.50 including tax seems a little high-end.

When they first opened, the line was too long to try, but now that it has calmed down, we finally got to visit. Growing up in Japan, this style feels familiar to me, but my friend who was born in the U.S. was impressed by how beautifully the breads are displayed and how they are served as a plate with salad and yogurt on the side. The mentaiko butter (cod roe) might be a love-it-or-hate-it flavor in the U.S., but my friend tried it for the first time and really enjoyed it. I ordered the prosciutto & egg plate, which had just the right amount of seasoning—not overly salty—so each ingredient and the bread could shine. The staff were friendly and welcoming. If the prices were just a little lower, I’d definitely come here even more often!

Coffee, bread and pastries were excellent. The lovely atmosphere of the cafe was straight out of a Haruki Murakami novel. The boss Ryu is really friendly and personable. Have a chat with him! Lots of street parking at the side.

I’ve heard about this place for a while and finally came for breakfast. The lobster bisque is a perfect match with the salad, and I would want to all the dine-in menu when I come back again. I got 5-6 mous instead to take home (curry, chocolate, macha red bean, honey) which are nice portion for snacks or a easy breakfast. Surprisingly instead of the mou I am more impressed with the salmon sandwich and French toast and hojicha bun, they all taste wonderful as take our options.
