The staff are friendly, efficient, and well versed in their products. Some of the furniture could use a refresh (some of the upholstered chairs are looking worn) but overall the decor is pleasant and the entire facility is clean, clean, clean! I often order a hot tea with a savory pastry, but if you're looking for something special, the Mont Blanc pastry and the pistachio matcha latte are very popular. On one recent visit, my friend ordered the apricot pastry, and I got an ube donut and a mushroom tart. So good! The cream under the apricot was so light and fluffy. The combination of long open hours, friendly staff, and very fresh pastries makes this shop an essential spot in west Lawrence.

It was difficult to decide which I wanted. It was like an assembly line of perfect little treats. The staff was very nice and helpful. The selection seemed endless and they had drinks in cans that were delicious. I had a very difficult time choosing which I was going to try. There is a seating area in the rear of the restaurant. It was full of happy people eating pastries and chatting. It was a perfect setting. I had heard about this place for years but never ventured inside. I regret not going to this lovely place sooner. I will definitely go back and recommend. I guess this is a franchise business with locations all over the US. I am just glad we have one in Lawrence. Still... WOW!

Their goods have a simple, but lovely, appearance and presentation. The cupcakes are individually wrapped, which seems a bit silly, but it's nice at the market if you aren't going to eat right away, and certainly is nice if you want to pick up a little treat for someone. I was a bit disappointed in the size of cupcake; the cake itself was fairly small, and overall was almost half-icing. I had a Maple Black Walnut cupcake. The black walnut stood out more flavor-wise, and was good. The cream cheese frosting was unexpected, but went decently well with the cake (I admit I'm not a huge fan of cream cheese frosting), though there was definitely too much for me. The ingredients are conveniently listed on the back of each wrapper, and it is nice to note that most are organic. This jives well being at the Farmers' Market.

Some people were still in there working on laptops (I assume from hotspots) but I would say this is a better place to come if you want a delicious baked good and a screen-free hang.

First thing to note is Cellar Door is SMALL so plan accordingly, you might not get lucky enough to get a table (we were, but we also got there early). You order at the counter and they bring out your food. I had a pastry recommended by my friend an the cauliflower wrap. I'm still dreaming of the wrap to be honest. The cauliflower was perfectly roasted, the sauce was divine, and the bread? Holy cow they clearly make it in house - so delicious. My friend sent me home with a babka which was also stellar. Can't rave about this place more - just go here if you're in the area. I can't wait to return.

Ayako will deliver in the Lawrence and KC areas or ship nationwide her amazing treats. I last visited the Lawrence farmers market in late November to purchase a ton of her sweets, and they are so immaculately created and taste OISHI! You can see she has expanded her products on the web site. She will be at the Lawrence Holiday Market on December 12th and will also sell some of her treats at The Merc Co-op in Lawrence starting early next year. The fact that she can ship her beautiful sweets means her artistry is accessible outside of Kansas! If you love Japanese sweets I highly encourage you to give these a try. She uses local produce from other farmers to make her goods, including chestnuts and purple sweet potatoes. The launch of the online business is a huge step and ensures that Japanese sweets are made here and available everywhere!
