I was welcomed in and the employees were super friendly and it was clean and bright inside. They're famous for those oversized cookies. I grabbed a few cookies and baguette with butter and jam. They had a special carrot cake cookie and that was my favorite! The baguette with butter and jam was so simple and seriously so good. Something about a warm crusty baguette. The cookies are huge and packed with flavor. All were delicious! I wish we had one in Phoenix but until then I'll have to stop in next time we're in town.

We tried a pancetta biscuit and a kouign amann, perhaps the world's best pastry with the craziest name. Both of them were excellent. The crust on each item was perfect. The triple chocolate iced drink was extremely chocolately, as you might expect a "triple chocolate" drink to be. For my taste, it was not very complex but for a caffeine/chocolate rush, I cannot complain. Street parking only. Parking is a little tough in this area. If I lived closer, I would work my way through every baked good here. Many of them looked like little works of art.

Once I found out there was going to be a Kuromi themed collab here I had sure to mark my calendar,…read moreso I've been looking forward to this! 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!

I've tried venturing out to try their other stuff, and it's all delicious, but I keep coming back for the mango and pistachio. I like how each pastry you purchase you also get a free macaron.

I have been on this pastry journey for 6 months trying to find these fruit like pastries. I told my…read moredaughter when I was coming to L.A. to find the best place near her place. 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~

Cupcakes: REALLY GOOD! Quite possibly the perfect cupcake?…read more Banana Pudding: I'm from the South, so what I will say is it is definitely the closest to "correct" banana pudding that I've found in LA. It has a much higher ratio of whipped cream to pudding or banana, but it was real banana instead of that fake banana flavor you often see so I respect it. Key Lime Icebox Bar: Objectively good, nothing wrong with this. Very tart!! Staff was super friendly and to my surprise there was no one there when I went on a weekday. Cute space!! I'd be curious to come back and try the toppings on the banana pudding and I would definitely come back for the cupcakes.
