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. Unfortunately, I left disappointed again. I've attached photos so others can see the mochi I received. 인스타에서 과일 모찌 사진을 보고 너무 먹어보고 싶어서 오늘 아침 8시 9분에 COIN DE RUE Bakery & Cafe에 찾아갔다. 그런데 냉장고에는 모찌가 몇 개밖에 없었다. 진열된 모습도 꼭 며칠 팔다 남은 것처럼 보여서 그때부터 살짝 싸했다. 사진에서 본 모찌와 모양도 많이 달랐다. 다른 모찌는 없냐고 물으니 급냉해서 냉동고에 있다며 꺼내주셨다. "오늘 만든 거예요?" 하고 여쭤보니 그렇다고 하셔서 일단 사 왔다. 그런데 반으로 잘라보는 순간... 실망, 대실망! 아주 그냥 실망실망 대실망이었다. 가게에 전화해서 설명하려는데 내 말은 끝까지 듣지도 않으시고 "절대 그럴 일이 없다", "왜 그러냐", "가지고 오라"는 말씀만 하시더라. 아침 일찍 일부러 찾아가서 산 건데, 이걸 바꾸려고 내가 다시 거기까지 가야 하나? 모찌도 아쉬웠지만 전화 응대 때문에 더 속상했다. 이번이 두 번째 방문인데, 첫 방문 때도 대파빵인가 마늘빵인가를 샀다가 별로 좋지 않은 기억이 있었다. 이번에는 인스타 사진을 보고 기대하며 다시 가본 건데... 완전 대대대실망! 이제 인스타 사진만 보고 달려가서 사지는 말아야겠다. 아침부터 괜히 기분만 상했네~

It reminded me of the anticipation I had as a kid, watching a raspado vendor scraping ice by hand. One bite, and I was very happy. :') On the second day, I came back with a friend and we shared nachos and a pork torta. We each got our own tuba compuesta, made with palm wine*, bits of strawberry, apples, and peanuts. It was a little tart, slightly fermented, sweet, and overall refreshing. We both loved eating the peanuts and fruits, which was so satisfying. It's now something I crave hehe The nachos were so nostalgic in a great way: how can you go wrong with melted cheese and pickled jalapeños? The torta was amazing: we followed the staff's recommendation to choose pork as our protein (there's also an option for chicken or beef). It came with avocado, tomato, lettuce, red onion, mayo, and a side of spicy salsa. The pork was tender and flavorful too. It's a small, cute space that has been a neighborhood staple for decades with some seating indoors and outdoors. They also serve paletas, ice cream, smoothies, and tamales (on weekends).
