The collab started today and will last until the 31st. The store opens at 7am , but even though I got there around 8:30 and there was no line they still managed to sell out of a majority of the limited edition Kuromi themed pastries. Which was a little heart breaking, but also understandable. I ended up ordering the Kuromi Berry lemonade and some of their more popular items like the D Tia Blue (blueberry/cream cheese filled pastry) and the Japanini. Everything hit the spot as expected, but the highlight of my visit was definitely that berry lemonade! It had the perfect sweet to sour ratio and it looked very whimsical with its purple hue. I'll definitely be back to order that again and maybe I'll have better luck next time with the availability of the limited edition pastries. It wasn't as busy as it typically gets so took advantage of the opportunity and I dined in. During my visit I adored the Kuromi decor around the story. It was definitely picture worthy. They also have the cutest merch available for sale and of course I bought a sticker sheet to add to my sticker collection. The workers also wore pretty purple Kuromi hats and aprons, which is also included in their merch for sale fyi. If you're a Sanrio/Kuromi fan, do yourself a favor and RUN to your nearest Okayama Kobo cafe!

She took me here. The place was very clean and tidy with a lot of different types of sweet treats. I was there for one thing only. I did ask the gal working if they were made that day and she said yes. We ordered a raspberry, an orange, a coffee bean and the popular mango. This was my 2nd time trying these and our hopes were high BUT the raspberry was just awful the filling was strange and it had just raspberry jam inside,I dint eat it. The mango was okay so we shared that. The coffee bean was just awful as well so we didn't finish that either. The orange was the best of the group but overall just a disappointing experience once again because these are not cheap. I'm starting to think I might just have to give up my journey to find these although there are some places in Vegas that look promising. I don't think Reno has any bakeries that make these. They look so beautiful but the taste is a let down.

When I arrived, there were only a few mochi in the refrigerator, and the display looked sparse, almost as if only a few were left. The mochi I saw also looked quite different from the photo. I asked whether they had any others, and an employee told me they had been flash frozen and were in the freezer. She brought one out for me. I asked, "Was this made today?" and was told yes, so I bought it. I was very disappointed when I got home and cut it in half. I understand that a handmade dessert won't look exactly like a photo, but this was far from what I had expected. I called the bakery to explain my concern. The person I spoke with did not let me finish explaining and insisted, "That could never happen." She also asked why I was saying that and told me to bring the mochi back. I had gone out of my way to visit early that morning, so being told to make another trip was frustrating. The phone conversation left me more upset than the mochi itself. This was my second visit. I had also had a disappointing experience with a green onion or garlic bread on my first visit, but the Instagram photo made me want to give the bakery another chance.

Delicious cakes! Whether it's for a birthday, graduation, baby shower or wedding, my family has been ordering from this place for years! The restaurant caters mostly to the predominant Hispanic community of Los Angeles so aside from their specialty- the "Tres Leches" cakes ( a must) , they also serve traditional Mexican and El Savadorian dishes as well. Food: A personal favorite is the Pollo Guisado and Enchiladas. They are tasty but my brother vouches for the simple burger and chicken specials. Cakes: Upon ordering your cake, the server gives you an option of fresh fruit filling - fresh strawberries, mangos, peaches, bananas, pineapples or a combination of all of the above and discusses the cake style with you. They have a "default" pink or blue style that is beautiful but it can be customized to your liking if you choose otherwise. If you're out to try something new, I highly recommend an addition of the Tres Leches to your order. (It's basically a sweet mix poured on top of your spongey cake to soak in the extra sweetness). Ordering: Service is fast and friendly although I would highly recommend ordering your cakes at least a few days in advance through phone or walk-in. However, if you are on the go and need a cake immediately, they have cakes that are freshly made daily as well but I believe the downside is that those sizes are limited to 15-25 people. They also offer to make the cake within a few hours if they are not too busy and you are willing to wait. Ambiance: If you're looking for some smoozy, expensive bakery, look elsewhere because I believe one of the beauties of this restaurant is its ability to serve the actual community of Los Angeles. True, the furniture is a bit outdated but the price is affordable, food is traditional and the restaurant has an "A" rating from the health department. What more do you want? read more
