A L★★★★

Japanese/Asian style bakery. Think something like Paris Baguette or Tous Les Jour with less pastry choices. That said they a case with warm sandwiches and also a fridge for salads. The sandwiches are decent. Not particularly good or bad, just average I’d say. Prices are affordable - a warm sandwich is decent at $6 or so. They also have some interesting cookies like miso almond.

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

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.
