This place is truly a hidden gem in Covington! It's located on a strip surrounded by a bunch of…read moreother great restaurants and bars, so you'll never run out of new places to try. The bakery is owned by Chako, and she does such an amazing job with every pastry and dish. I've been getting her cakes for my birthday every year growing up, especially the matcha and strawberry cakes, and they've always been a favorite of mine. Later on, I started bringing new friends here for brunch because they have a hidden café room in the back. It's filled with lots of local artwork that's actually for sale, and the art changes every time I visit, which makes each visit feel a little different. The owner is always so positive, and I really love the energy of the staff. The food is always fresh since everything is made to order. If you're looking for homey, comforting food that isn't too pricey, this is definitely the spot. Nothing overly complicated or extravagant--just authentic, comforting food done well.

I ordered a cake from Chako and it was delicious. I ordered a matcha sponge with matcha cream. It…read morewas the perfect amount of sweetness. I also bought some pastries while picking up the cake. They were delicious as well. They were the typical pastries you'd get at an Asian bakery. The chicken Kara-age was also good. If I'm in the Cincinnati area and there's a special occasion, I would definitely come back! Chako was really friendly.

I've been coming here for a couple of years now, and somehow I still leave wanting to come back for…read moremore. The staff have always been lovely, but honestly, it's the sweets and brunch that keep me coming back! They always have seasonal treats and cakes rotating throughout the year, so there's usually something different to try each time. Their cookies are almost too pretty to eat because they're individually piped by hand, which is seriously impressive. They are definitely on the sweeter side, so don't expect a subtle sugar cookie, but they're perfect when you're in the mood to treat yourself. My personal recommendation is the small button cookies. They're so cute, creamy, and pair really well with their teas, especially since the tea helps balance out the sweetness. The sugar cookies have more of a firm, stiff texture, so I personally prefer the button cookies. Their brunch is delicious too, although the wait can be a little longer at times. If you want the full tea-room experience, I highly recommend making a reservation since that's usually where you'll get the multi-tiered tray filled with an assortment of sweets and savory mini sandwiches. It's definitely more of an experience than just grabbing a quick bite. The cafe itself is adorable and has cute decorations throughout, with a separate back area dedicated to takeout sweets. It makes the whole place feel like a little dessert wonderland, especially when they have their seasonal decorations up. Overall, this is definitely somewhere I'd recommend trying at least once. Whether you're coming for brunch, afternoon tea, seasonal sweets, or just looking for a cute spot to catch up with the girls, there's always something fun to eat--and something new to discover on your next visit!

The sugar it was rolled in was even infused with early grey flavor! The interior is on the smaller side, but there is seating and Ludlow Square is only a short walk away. Make sure you come early, because pastries do sell out throughout the day!

They have quickly become one of Cincinnati's most talked‑about bakeries, and for good reason. Their…read moreclassic croissant is everything you want it to be, flaky, sweet, buttery, and beautifully layered. The pecan roll is another standout. It is loaded with pecans, sticky in the best way, and easily one of the best in the city. When they're on, they're really on. One thing I noticed was that the setup could use a little refinement. With both coffee and bakery items coming from the same counter, the line gets congested fast and the shop is quite small. A separate line for coffee and tea offerings - they have a bunch - and pastries would make the experience smoother and match the quality of what they're serving. They do offer vegan options, which I personally have no interest in, but just an fyi. Overall, they deliver excellent pastries and has the potential to be even better with a few small tweaks to the flow and menu variety. Still absolutely worth a visit, especially for that croissant and pecan roll.
