Did I finally find a really good salt bread?? I get why when they first open it was limited amount per person Wow the salt bread was delicious! They have milk bread and they sell it by half loaf too! I couldn't resist a curry Frank! Really wanted a melon pan and they had their own version of it. It was pretty sweet so maybe I'll try the one without cream next time This shop is super cute and simple and smells so so good! Really enjoyed what I tried and definitely will be coming back! Loved their salt bread, curry Frank and melon pan that had cream in it.
1954 Egashira is a cute bakery at The CAMP in Costa Mesa that specializes in unique baked goods. Their most popular item is the Salt & Butter Croissant, and it usually sells out, so they limited it to just 2 per person. I went on a weekday so there was just a small line inside the store. * Salt & Butter Croissant 5/5 - This was delicious and worth being their top seller. The bread was soft, spongey, buttery, and slightly salty with a light sweetness to it. * Almond Fromage 3/5 - This was more like a cream cheese bun with almonds sprinkled on top. The filling was semi solid, not creamy. The volcano shape was cute, but the taste was just okay. * Curry Frank 5/5 - This was a unique bread with a very yummy curry flavor that actually went well with the hot dog. * Matcha Stick 4/5 - Nice sweet matcha cream treat. The bread was denser than I would like.
The ambiance is so aesthetically pleasing and cute! There are some places to sit and enjoy your coffee, matcha, and pastries but not a ton of spots. There's a little tiny patio area. I think it will be a hit or miss depending on what day or time you're there if you can find a spot to sit and enjoy. There's cool photos and decor to muse over. It was my first time there, and the worker was so nice to give me his recommendations. There wasn't a big line at 9:30 a.m. on Wednesday. All the breads were available. I went with the worker's recs and got 2 salt and butter breads (worth the hype), a melon pan (pretty plain and won't get again), chocolate stick (get it if you love chocolate cookie-like bread), 1954 custard cream (soooo pillowy soft and quality cream filling!), a peperoncino (thin crust cracker-like bacon thing, won't get again). He likes the coffee and said the banana cream matcha was on the sweeter side. I only bought breads on this run. I highly recommend! I can taste the quality! I also bought the half-size shokupan, and that was delicious just eating a slice plain by itself. It would be great as a pbj, grilled cheese, or French toast, etc.
I came here on a Saturday morning and there was a line. I have seen this bakery on yelp and i was curious. So I stood in line when it was my turn I could not figure out when i wanted so I got a bunch of things. And my bunch of things were delicious. I would certainly come back here when its not as busy and get some treats what I can say is there bread is not too sweet. It's fluffy and yummy.
Finally had the chance to visit this viral new Japanese bakery at The Camp. I came on a Friday at 10:30am and there was a semi-long line outside. The inside is industrial but cute with a seating area that has small tables. It took 30 min. to get to the front and they were out of a lot of things. I ordered a box of Mini Croissants ($10) and a 1954 Sunrise ($4). The 1954 Sunrise is a soft bread with sugary butter cream inside. The bread was a little dry but the cream helped and wasn't too sweet. I thought the croissants would be plain but they were sweet and tasted like a palmier cookie. The things I tried were pretty good but I wouldn't wait in line for them again. I would like to try their salt & butter bread and shokupan next time since those seem to be their popular items. If you want first pick at everything, try to come early when they open and on a weekday. But they seem to be constantly baking and replenishing so you could also try your luck later.
This excellent Japanese bakery is located in The Camp and sells some delicious bread treats that rival those I've had in Japan. They actually originated in Japan and still have 3 locations there; the original bakery started operation in 1954 (hence their name). I learned this from historical photos and stories on the walls. We came in the late afternoon on a weekday. The Camp is always challenging in finding a parking spot but we had good parking karma that day and grabbed a close one. As it was an hour before closing, the bakery was quiet with no line. They have several seating options inside and a small patio. After our order we sat indoors and enjoyed our selections. We ordered a custard cream bun, a salt bread, and a chocolate stick. Additionally, I had a hot latte. The custard cream bun, so fresh, soft, and filled with a luscious custard, was definitely my favorite. This one perfectly equaled what I would get at the best bakeries I visited in Japan. The salty butter bread, which they are known for, was also pillowy soft with a smattering of sea salt on top that made it very savory, was also great. The chocolate stick had some yummy chocolate chips and was very good but slightly dry (not unexpected since it was near closing time). Still, it delighted my chocolate senses. The latte was fine, nothing special, but the perfect accompaniment to the breads. The baker came out and gave us free samples of their mini croissants, which were fantastic. You can't go wrong if you purchase those. I definitely want to return to try other items, some of which were out of stock due to our late arrival. And to get more of those custard cream buns!
This place was very hyped up and I assumed it would have mouth watering, super soft bread. This bakery is located in the CAMP and parking is DIFFICULT!! Especially on the weekends, can't imagine getting parking when you just arrive. You'd have to fight for it. 1954 Egashira is a cute little bakery, facing the parking lot. When we walked in, every seat was taken with numerous people eating bread. There were several baskets with the sign "sold out" placed on top, which was fine. We bought their salt and butter bread, custard, chocolate & custard, and a chocolate chip bread. We stepped outside to do a taste test of every piece. The salty bread was decent but just salt and butter. I didn't understand what the hype was with that but the texture was nice. Their custard bread was dry but the custard was wasn't overly sweet, which was good. I wasn't a fan of any of their chocolate breads. Overall, I think this place is overhyped. I know it's still new and they're working out how to function the bakery with such a big demand. Yet, I wasn't a fan of what they had to offer. I like my bread moist and soft, and I didn't get that here. I'd come to try it again on a weekday and not the weekend.
That salt and butter on first bite is delicious! Everything else I tried afterwards has the same lightness and texture as well. Both the sweet and savory breads are perfectly balanced in flavor without being overpowering. The pastries are about the right size to have a few before taking any leftovers to go. The bakery is beautifully decorated and will definitely remind you that you're at 1954. It does have its charm. I enjoyed the atmosphere, and every bread tried was excellent.
I've never been to The Camp before, but really happy to have stopped by and try this bakery! I think there are great options between savory and sweet. We ended up trying the salt bread, cream bun, and mini croissants. My favorite was definitely the mini croissants, but that's probably because I have a sweet tooth haha. All of the bakery items came out really fresh and warm! Cream bun was actually a bit hot so we had to wait for it to cool a bit. Service was good and I really liked their spot. They had some inside seating, and the smell was just amazinggg. Their outside patio had a cute little grass patch to hang out around. Would come back!
The bakery itself is such a cute spot. The decor and seating area is super nice! Staff is also friendly- my friend and I were offered to try a mini croissant, and it was delicious! For the breads, I got the mentai France and the matcha stick. The mentai France was basically a baguette with mayo and mentaiko. It was decent and filling, but nothing super amazing. As for the matcha stick, I felt as though there wasn't a very prominent matcha flavor. It was also quite sweet. My friend got the same items, as well as the mini croissants, salt and butter bread, and panini. She said the panini was her favorite out of the breads she bought! Overall, a decent experience. I would definitely try something else next time I stop by. Parking in The Camp is such a hassle though! They definitely need more parking space.
Cute bakery with decent bread and friendly service. This place is located inside the camp parking can be tricky but there is valet for $8. We came here around 4 Pm about 60% of the bread was sold out. Interior is Japanese style bakery with cute decor. We got the shop shio pan and the walnut bread. Salt bread-soft but the salt was too course but loved how fluffy it was Walnut bread-bit bland it was more like a melon pan Overall I like Okayama kobo better but would like to visit another time try more of there breads.

1954 Egashira Bakery is a newly opened bakery at The CAMP in Costa Mesa; its flagship store is located in Saga Prefecture in northwestern Kyushu, Japan (1 Chome-10-45 Wakamiya, Saga, 849-0926, Japan). Interestingly, the sign at the flagship store simply reads '1954', leading many visitors to wonder about the bakery's exact name. On Google Maps, the flagship store is listed as 'Stone oven bakery Kusukusu' 石窯パン工房 くすくす (Ishigama Pan Kōbō Kusukusu). Among more than 100 varieties of pastries, popular choices include mini croissants, melon bread, curry bread, and salt bread. This first U.S. location, newly opened at The CAMP opens at 9:00 AM, but a long line forms even before the doors open. I arrived around 9:05 AM, and due to the long line, it took over 30 minutes just to make my purchase. I bought Shokupan (Japanese milk bread loaf), a salt & butter roll, Matcha cube, and an iced Americano; everything was reasonably priced and delicious. The Shokupan was particularly popular and sold out quickly. On my next visit, I plan to try other popular pastries, such as the 1954 Custard cream bun and Mentai France. read more
Visited 1954 Egashira after lunch on a Sunday, so there was no line and they were sold out of shokupan. It was super hot inside, but somehow the staff managed to maintain a cheery attitude (I don't know how because the heat instantly made me grumpy). They were giving out samples of their mini croissants, a bite-sized crispy sugary treat. My favorite was their 1954 custard bun - I can see why this is one of their most popular items. I was going to only eat half, but it was so light and yummy that I devoured the whole thing. The chocolate stick was kind of a like a less sweet mini chocolate babka. The salt and butter bread was very salty, with large chunks of salt on top, kind of reminiscent of a salty Hawaiian roll. The custard chocolate, which resembled a pain Suisse, had no custard, just chocolate. I would not make a special trip, especially given how challenging parking can be at The Camp, but would definitely stop in if I was going to eat lunch there. read more

I came around 12:15pm on a Tuesday and there were only 5 people in line ahead of me which wasn't bad. They are constantly baking new bread so although some items were sold out, a lot was still available and coming out fresh. Let me start by saying that when I travel to Japan my breakfast literally every day is going to a Japanese bakery and buying Japanese breads. So I am very familiar with and like Japanese breads but these just didn't do it for me since I found them less flavorful and less soft than I had hoped for. I bought 4 breads and only finished eating 1 of them because the others, I decided, weren't worth the calories, so I just threw them away unfinished. The best bread (5 stars for sure! and the only one I ate in its entirety) is their signature 'Salt & Butter Bread' which is $2.95 but you are limited to only buying one because they are so popular (and justly so they are DELICIOUS!) The bread is pillowy soft and fluffy and the perfect blend of butter with salt on top = amazing! What some people did who came together (like a couple) was to buy their bread separately so they could that way each buy one and get 2 of the Salt & Butter Bread. The Kurumi bread (sweet walnut and peanut bun topped with a cookie crust) was okay. I wasn't sure what the cookie cruse was supposed to be because the top of the bread was dry and didn't taste like a cookie although the overall bread was sweet. I wasn't a fan of the chocolate chip bread either because it wasn't soft and the chocolate chips were baked so much that they were powdery/dry when you bit into them and the overall bread didn't have enough chocolate flavor. My least favorite bread was the Butter Sandwich bread because I was hoping for something savory but there was so much sugar (especially in the bottom of the bread like the sugar sunk to the bottom of the loaf during baking) that when I bit into the bread it literally crunched as I was crunching on the sugar crystals. Overall, I'd give 5 stars for the Salt & Butter Bread and 2 stars for everything else. read more

New bakery that took over the Blackmarket location at The Camp. They have more savory options later in the day but the line was already at the door by 9am. Some indoor and outdoor seating. Shokupan: soft and fluffy milk bread. Honestly, wasn't different compared to most milk breads I've had but their matcha bread was interesting. Similar to Shokupan but green with some macadamia nuts. Melon pan: crispy on top and slightly sweet, fluffy inside. Pretty standard. They have a cream filled version too. Bacon pesto panini: pretty tasty but exactly what you expect. Custard bun: fluffy bun with sweet yellow custard. Butter bread/sandwich: fluffy buttery brioche with a sweet buttermilk in-between. Definitely recommend toasting it a little bit. Kurumi: fluffy bread with some walnuts inside. Like a lightly sweetened fluffy scone. Salt bread: definitely their best but more pillowy than other stores. No crunchy bottom but super soft with real sea salt. Matcha banana cream: don't let the light color fool you. The matcha was a good amount of strong. Banana cream was lightly sweet and not artificial. Tasted like real banana. Drip coffee: my brother said it tastes like regular coffee. Definitely recommend coming in early as I wouldn't want to wait in a long line at peak times and deal with parking. Parking lot was half full at 9am! read more

1954 Egashira is a new bakery establishment that recently opened in The CAMP plaza and boy is this place hyped! Upon entering, line was already out the door and most of the seats were occupied. The cashier told me that lines wrap around the building before 8am but that's a good for business! Despite the line being long, there's a really nice atmosphere to the place. Interior design and props give it a nice bakery touch. Some of the props seem to show some of their history too, like that Casio calculator! Ok let's get to the pastries! FOOD Mini Croissants Ok. This one is honestly my favorite, I never knew how much I enjoyed croissants but these little guys gave a whole new meaning to Croissant! These bite-sized pastries deliver the perfect balance of flaky crunch and flavor! Each box contain 10 and I don't think it's enough so you might want to get 2 boxes hahah HIGHLY recommend!! Salt & Butter Bread This seems to be the popular one as you are limited to 1 per customer. Such a simple pastry yet it feels there's so much that's put through it, as if you can get a glimpse of Egashira's journey. Definitely pairs well with coffee! Get yourself one these pastries (If it's available!) Apple Pie These were deflightful. As someone that's finally appreciating Apple Pie in itself, I think this is one of the best ones I've had yet! I don't think it's one of the crowd favorites but I feel like it should be. If you're an Apple Pie fanatic, you should absolutely get yourself a slice! Mentai France This was different for me. And a good different! The house-made mentaiko sauce really put a new taste on these baguette's and I'm not too crazy about baguettes haha but I would grab a couple of these pastries if you want to experience something different! Heard about 1954 Egashira by word of mouth, through social media and decided to take a visit. A lot of the pastries were nearly out as they're made in batches and whatever is out on display is what they have for the moment. So if you have time to kill or want to hang out, you can take a seat and relax, enjoy their drinks and pastries and see what they pull out of the ovens! As this bakery is located in the CAMP, I would recommend planning ahead before visiting. It gets pretty crowded near the noon and late afternoon with the many shops and food places in the surrounding area. But if you don't mind, it's worth the wait to try out Egashira! Appreciate the delicious pastries, we'll be visiting again real soon! read more
I was super excited to try out this new bakery that had recently soft opened at the Camp in Costa Mesa. I would give the overall pastries 3.5/5. My favorites were the custard pan and mini croissants. I had forgotten the name of the panini sandwich pastry I had gotten, but I liked that one as well. The chocolate stick was also alright. However, I was really excited to try to the salt bread, but it was way too salty in my opinion, and I wasn't able to enjoy the mixture of salt and butter that well. The banana creme matcha was also okay. I would recommend that the employees try to release the drinks in numerical order in which they were ordered. They had mixed up my drink with another person behind me (we ordered the same thing but called his number first). This also happened to the customers in front of me. I waited in line for about 20 ish minutes, and my friend and I were lucky to get an order of salt bread each since it's limited 1 per person and you can't order ahead of time, which is another downside for those waiting in line and don't have a chance to order one once they get to the front. read more

I've been seeing so much about this bakery everywhere and I've been meaning to check it out! My friend and I visited on a Saturday morning - we arrived at opening at 9am and waited about an hour before we were able to place our orders. By the time we were leaving, most shokupans were sold out so definitely recommend coming early! I got a regular iced latte, matcha stick, sunrise, panini, kurumi, and a shokupan loaf. The latte was perfect and just what I needed - strong and not milky. I really liked the price points of the drinks, it was refreshing with the current market of $7 lattes. The pastries weren't too life changing and out of all of the pastries, I think I enjoyed the kurumi the most (with walnuts). Shokupan loaf was definitely the star of the show, the bread is so soft and pillowy, I loved it so much! Overall, I'm glad I visited, but I wouldn't say that the pastries are worth an hour long wait. I think the shokupan is worth the visit once the opening rush dies down. I would definitely visit again to get the loaf and to grab a latte! read more

I came here on a Saturday around 12:30 pm. Poor choice on my part since I don't like going out on weekends. Parking is horrendous at the camp but I got lucky with a spot so I decided to stop by. There was a LONG line. I think I waited 30 minutes +. Overall, just not worth it. I know they're in soft opening phase, but they just weren't efficient and everything was sold out. The items I got were good but not worth the parking and wait in my opinion. I got the panini $4.50, peperoncino $3.50, and kurumi $3.30. I liked both the panini and peperoncino, but the kurumi was dry and not very peanut-y. I took a picture of everything in the bakery at the time. I couldn't even get the salt and butter bread because they were out by the time I got to the front? And they said it would be another 15/20 minutes. Panini was good but pricey for half a sandwich. I surprisingly did enjoy the peperoncino because it was very crispy, but it was completely cold in comparison to the panini that just came out. I don't know if they could heat it, but I wasn't offered that option which leads me to service. The workers were nice but nothing special. I'm sure they were very busy, but overall the efficiency just needs work... Ambiance is casual. It was very crowded and busy on a Saturday afternoon. I would definitely plan to visit on weekday in the future. It would be a nice vibe to hangout in if it wasn't so crazy busy. There is indoor seating and outdoor seating but not that much room. Overall, the bread was good but not worth the wait. I will probably try to visit in the future on a weekday when they've been open for awhile and the hype has died down. read more
...soft opening... only ONE salty butter bread per person, but since I was only 8 min away and I seem to always be standing "in line"... here I am at THE CAMP $38 later... Because Nate said so!! #1954Egashira Wait. That slice of "apple pie" was $10.50??? .... I don't even like apple pie!! The best item in my box was the Marcha bar. It was delicious! NOT a fan of the salty butter bread, but I'm not a fan of salty or sour, so I shouldn't be judging this... read more
1954 Egashira Bakery replaced The Blackmarket Bakery at The Camp. The interior is cool industrial vibe. It's very open with a small area to sit. They are in their soft opening phase, which probably explains why they sold out on a lot of stuff when I arrived at noon on Saturday. I was still able to purchase items that they recommended, Salt & Butter ($2.95), Sunrise Melon Pan ($3.25), Chocolate Stick ($3.85), and Butter Sandwich ($3.50). They were all so dry and hard at room temperature. I heated it up at home and while it softened up a bit, their breads are dry overall. It definitely does not give me Japanese style bread vibes at all. I also think they need to offer more savory items. Service was fine, everyone was nice and friendly. I just don't know if I'll be back since getting parking here at the camp is a nightmare and unless they do a complete revamp of their bread recipe, it's not for me. read more

Tasty and worth a try! Fair warning they are still in their early phase and as a result their restock time can be longer than expected. My first visit practically 2/3rd of their goods were sold out and it wasn't being replenished quickly. My second visit I was second in line for the day so they were well stocked. Everything I tried was delicious and really reasonably priced! The panini was hands down my favorite item I tried, closely followed by the walnut bread. All the other items I tried were also good but not items I would make my way back for. I don't recommend their matcha, I wasn't a fan of the flavor but 10/10 recommend on the pastries! read more

Wanted to check out this place located in the camp, and tldr: tasty, light, and would love to come everyday... if not for the parking. Here is what I got: 1954 cream bun in the wrapper (5/10) : very sweet but pastry was fluffy and light. There was a little crunch from sprinkled sugar but for me, it was too much, even though I have a sweet tooth. Cream bun (8/10): yummy and not as sweet as the 1954 cream bun. This one tastes like the milk cream bun from 85 degrees bakery but better! I would pair this with a coffee and you got a good mix! Curry Sausage (6/10): savory, and I actually liked it, but it is heavy/filling despite looking like a small pastry. I wished the curry was spicy to keep me from getting tired of the taste. Mentaiko France bun (mentaiko drizzled 6/10): very tasty and captured the mentaiko very well! However, I had a bun from a "fresh" full tray and the bread was dry and tough (i had to bite it like tearing jerky with my teeth). I really liked the flavor though and wish it was on a softer dough. Almond pastry (4/10): good crunches from almond and peanuts but dough was dry Cinnamon cookie (7/10): really yummy amd sweet! Reminded me of those Christmas gingerbread shortbread cookies. Pair it with coffee and it's works well! Mini Croissant (not pictured but 9/10) : got it as a free sample and it was so yummy! They sell 1 box for $10 and honestly worth it! Consider bringing it to work and it's a nicer, healthier option compared to donuts in the office. THE SHOWSTOPPERS: French Toast square!!! (10/10): eggy, crispy, perfectly sweet and soft. My new go to favorite for breakfast/brunch. Even though it looks like a thick piece of pastry, it had an airy, fluffy taste to it that was filling, but doesn't make you feel gross and heavy from overeating. Salt bread (9/10): SOOOO good and this is coming from someone who has had multiple korean salt breads and other spots in OC. Pastry is so fluffy, good amount of salt, and butteryyy. Yum! Only thing against this is that you can definitely feeeel the amount of butter they use, as the outside gets really greasy, but it's worth increasing my cholesterol levels for. DRINKS: Banana Matcha (8/10): honestly, my type of matcha. Banana is sweet and doesn't taste artificial, but for a sweet tooth like me, I ask for an extra pump of sweetener and it's perfect. Matcha is not as grassy and bitter, so if you like Tatys or airoma, this isn't it for you... it's more of an umami depth of flavor. It pairs well with the sweet or savory pastries! Would definitely get again and this is coming from someone who usually prefers strawberry over banana matcha. Cold brew (5/10): classic, bitter, and a good source of caffeine. Pairs especially well with the sweeter pastries like the 1954 one Jasmine Hot Tea Latte (7/10): strong jasmine tea flavor which could've been paired with dim sum lol. But with these pastries, I wish it was a bit sweeter with condensed milk or something, but I did like the tea used. SERVICE (10/10): really prompt and patient. They also let you know when the next batch of fresh pastries come out and they let you wait by the cash register to pay for it when it comes out without having to go back in line to get it! LOCATION: camp parking sucks which is the only thing. Inside is very clean and makes a nice hangout/date spot for groups 1-4. There is an outdoor seating area for larger groups, but honestly it's a nice grab n go location. Would definitely come again! Insta: stacteaboba read more

The bread here is SOOO delicious! Located in the camp so parking can be a nightmare. We came on a weekday around noon and it was pretty full so we had to circle around to find a spot. we ordered the butter salt bread which was SOO soft and fluffy with the perfect blend of savory and sweet. They also gave out samples of mini croissants which was nice and crispy and delicious as well so we ordered that too! Come early because even on a Tuesday around 1:30pm, many of their breads were sold out. read more
I stumbled upon 1954 Egashira while at The Camp thinking it was still the Black Market Bakery. I didn't know they ended up closing and had the chance to be at their soft opening with the owners who were really nice, as well as the staff! I didn't quite catch his name, but one of the cashiers was super positive and gave my girlfriend and I recommendations, so we ended up trying the banana cream matcha as well as a few breads I forgot to capture. First and foremost, I have to say their banana pudding matcha has probably been my favorite variation of this matcha to date. I felt like the banana cream was perfectly sweet, not too much, or not too ripe of a cream, and it complimented the matcha beautifully. As for the breads, we got 2 peperoncino's as well as a salt and butter. I really liked the peperoncino as it was a light snack to have but still filling, as it was basically like a mini sandwich. The salt and butter was okay, I'm not too into it, but it was still good to try! I'd definitely come back whenever I'm at the Camp for a matcha and a peoeroncino! Maybe some of the other selection of breads as well read more
I came to check out the hype I saw on social media. The baked goods in the middle were all gone by 1pm when I got here! Their iced matcha latte was decent, but I finished it fast because they put lots of ice. The salted bread is delicious; beware there is a separate line for it. Otherwise, you can still get it in the main line. I loved the apple pie pastry! Good luck with parking at The Camp nowadays. Friendly staff, spacious and cute interior. read more
This Japanese bakery is currently in its soft opening, and they were offering free samples of their melon pan. It was actually my first time trying melon pan, and overall, I really enjoyed it. The bread itself was good, though I would have preferred it to be a bit more moist. The creamy filling and crisp, crusty topping were the highlights for me. The cream wasn't overly sweet and even had a slight crunch to it, which added a nice contrast to the soft bread. The loaf bread was delicious--one of the best milk breads. Unfortunately, the service was subpar. I had to repeat my request multiple times for the salt and butter bread, and I still ended up paying for and taking home the wrong bread. :( read more

I went to a yelp event and this place was opened. I haven't been to the camp in a while and this was a nice surprise. I love bread. I have tried different bakeries and tried the salt and butter. When I was in line we were offered mini croissants and I'm a fan. It was sweet and super delicious. I went with the salt and butter but will definitely come back to try their other pastries and their drinks. They have sitting inside and some outside. Parking can be crazy sometimes but on a Friday morning I was able to find parking quickly. read more

Great open air space, but terrible location at the camp. There are limited parking spots, and the camp is just congested, at all hours and days. I had high hopes for this place, because of the strong social media hype. However the products themselves were just okay. Nothing mind blowing or can't live without products. This is definitely a cute experience and great vibe, as well as very thought out. I tried a different variety of products, and a drink. The prices were great and not too expensive, which was nice! The staff was nice, but didn't recommend anything or have suggestions. read more

The salted bread was absolutely delicious! We loved it so much that we bought more on our way back. Since the bakery is very popular, many items were already sold out by the time we arrived, even though they were constantly baking fresh bread. There are a few seating areas inside, so it's a great idea to enjoy your bread while it's still warm and wait for the next batch of freshly baked bread to come out. read more
The bread was decent, but nothing amazing. The staff was nice and the restaurant looked cool, but the selection was really limited. We thought the bread with the sweet butter (butter sandwich) was ok, but we didn't think the matcha stick or chocolate chip stick were that great. I also could have passed on the salt and butter bread. Hopefully they come up with some more options that we like more. read more
First time here and I passed here many times. Today I decided to stop but this parking lot is packed. For this size -too many food and cafe spots here. So I had to go around few times before I found a spot. It's great bakery I order 2 matchas , $10 box mini croissants, $4.25 each 2 panini $2.95 each 2 butter/salt bread. All employees that helped me were nice and served with a smile!! Love it !! Now to leave parking spot I was boxed in . So it took a few minutes and delivery guy helped me get out. Next time I go earlier. I was shopping when I decide to find a matcha cafe last minute. I'll be back definitel. Oh I ate my panini and salt butter bread on my way home! read more
