Japanese bakery that we decided to revisit for some treats for a small gathering. Both beautiful to look at and delicious to test, they have great options that will always be good for a party. Standouts were their Mont Blanc with that smooth creamy chestnut flavor and their classic purple yam tart. Can't go wrong with anything here. Service was fast and helpful. They take care with their product and presentation.
I've had this spot bookmarked for quite a long time but never really had the chance to visit J-Town until recently. I visited on a weekend afternoon and it was moderately busy but still had enough seats. There was a great selection of desserts to choose from and it was tough to choose! I ended up getting the Violetta and the Black Sesame Tofu Cheesecake. Violetta: A purple sweet potato tart that is one of their most popular desserts here. Despite its small size, this was quite filling and dense on the inside. Strong flavours but not too sweet. Tofu Cheesecake: I wasn't intending to get this but ended up getting it. The texture was amazing, very soft. The black sesame was a great flavour. I've had tofu cheesecakes before but this was certainly one of the best ones I've had. Overall, totally worth the hype after many years! The sit-down environment was a great casual space with a self-serve water station. I would totally come back again if I'm in the area. Note: If you want to pay with credit card, you will need to spend a minimum of $10.
In the recent months, I've been visiting for some great mont blanc desserts. My favorite is their mont blanc danish that has a generous layer of chestnut cream in the middle. And they are gorgeous too!
Made a special stop as this is a friend's favorite bakery for cream puffs and was hosting a get together. We got the original puff, the macha puff, and the special CNY puff. The puff texture itself is very unique, as it has a density and crumble that is more reminiscent of the top pastry part of a Chinese pineapple bun. It's not a very good descriptor, but that is the closest association I can think of. That is then paired with a perfectly silky and creamy crème on the inside of the puff. I loved the macha one, but the CNY puff was very cute and perfectly festive for the season. This will be where I go when craving cream puffs for the future.
This is very close to cakes you can get in Japan. I've been there many many times and I've never been disappointed. My favourite is the strawberry shortcake and the black sesame tofu cheesecake but anything is good here. The staff is very friendly and attentive. Love this place!
Love finding new desserts! The service was so good and patient as we decided on what to order, both of these were so light and not as sweet as I expected!
Excellent quality pastries with a Japanese twist. The food and ingredients are high quality and executed really well. I've tried a few items here: the Belle, a fruit tart, the Thyme to Meat quiche and Mont Blanc cake. The tarts have an excellent pastry crust and the filling was fresh and well balanced and the Mont Blanc was fresh, light and airy, and well balanced. The matcha latte is also super refreshing. The staff are nice and patient and can answer any questions about their products.
This cute patisserie is located inside JTown. It reminds me of Duo Patisserie a lot with the style of the pastries, the similar tart crust and the expensive prices (each pastry ranges from $5 to $8). On this most recent visit, my gf and I tried the basque cheesecake and the lumiere pastry tart. Basque cheesecake: Really light, fluffy and perfect burnt topping. The cheesecake was rich but still moist. Lumiere pastry tart: The crust was made from a REALLY good cookie crumble. The cheese mousse was lemony and the blueberry yogurt inside cut through the richness of the cheese perfectly. Sadly, because of how expensive this place is (and how far it is from me), I don't think I'd be a regular. I do want to come back and try the Abbie (chocolate raspberry) and Violetta (ube sweet cream) tarts though. They just popped out at me in the dessert window but my gf was feeling the other ones more haha.
Courteous service from the lovely gals behind the counter. Scrumptious cakes. They certainly will not disappoint. A-1! There are a few seats and tables within if you want to consume the goodies there.
finally had the chance to visit Yuzu No Ki bc last time i went they were almost sold out of desserts so glad i was there early! LOOK HOW GORGEOUS their desserts are !! i got their kinako mochi choux which was MY FAVOURITE and it has soy bean cream, red bean and mochi. i love the crunchy texture bc it pairs so well with the fillings! I believe they do rotating flavours for choux so be sure to check out their ig for updates. Another fav of mine was the black sesame tofu cheesecake bc omg it was so rich and nutty! Such a good combo you have to try it if you love black sesame!! Lastly, i got their Lumiére which is blueberry confiture, blueberry yogurt mousse, cheese mousse, milk glaçage & streusel cookies. idk what any of that means but it was delicious haha tastes almost like a blueberry yogurt but 100 times better LOL
Small patisserie in the j town plaza. Very beautifully made desserts but also tasty as well. Recommend the yuzu and black sesame. They're both very light. 4/5 stars because it is pretty pricey.
Been meaning to try this bakery out and it did NOT disappoint! Huuuuuge fan! The little pastries we got were amazing, not too sweet, and very fresh. The seasonal fruit tart was mango and it was nicely balanced with sweet cream and slightly tart mangos. Hojicha latte was good, you can choose your sugar/sweetness level. Slightly pricey but absolutely worth a treat.
Yuzu No Ki literally keeps me coming back for more. My first encounter with them was with their MATCHA TOFU CHEESECAKE...which was UNREAL. The black sesame in the crust was a delicious surprise, the nuttiness with the earthy matcha and silken tofu was a MATCH(a) made in heaven, haha! The YUZU DANISH was soft and not the best danish texture, but the cream filling was good. The PURPLE SWEET POTATO TART was barely sweet, so you get a true purple yam flavour while the tart shell was textbook perfect. I got their KROKANT to-go and really enjoyed the caramelized meringue cookie with hazelnut pieces. Since then I've also tried their Chestnut mini cake, Black Sesame cream puffs (perfect choux pastry with a delectable black sesame filling), Black sesame Tofu Cheesecake, & Mango Tart! If I'm in the area, this is my favourite French-Japanese patisserie to go to and I always make a point to stop by their next door neighbours Bakery Nakamura (their milk bread is a MUST) and Sasaki Fine Pastry (classic Japanese mochi) too. Happy dessert hopping y'all~
We bought the pastry which is not as good as we expected due to so many wonderful reviews. The fig danish filling is good and fig is fresh. The chestnut is also ok. The bread itself is a little dry. The service is ok, they use separate box for each danish. The space is very limited,not really good to dine in. read more
I go around to bakeries and patisseries a lot. I've always wanted to try Yuzu no Ki, and I finally got a chance! Tucked away in the corner of J-Town, Yuzu no Ki is a no frills, aesthetic bakery and cafe. I ordered their Strawberry & Lychee cake online for pickup ahead of time. I was in and out within minutes - exactly what I like. There were also a lot of people sat down for a Sunday at 4:30pm. The cake itself was delicious. It didn't look like the image online when I ordered - it was actually much more beautiful in person. It was a hit with my Asian grandma and family, including the kids - so you know it's good. You could really taste the strawberry and lychee flavours. The jelly strawberry layer was still frozen when we cut into it a few hours later (stored in the fridge) but it was still very good. Will definitely be ordering again! read more

Very clean and spacious, lots of parking read more

My boyfriend bought me some beautiful tarts from here for my birthday, and they tasted great! The shop is tiny; you walk in and there's a very square space. The front has a glass display filled with eye-catching, colourful tarts, and there are other buttery baked goods lined up alongside the back (madeleines, cookies, biscuits, etc.). Yuzu also does drinks, but I haven't tried! We got an assortment of three tarts for ~$30. Here is my review from most to least favourite: Violetta This purple sweet potato tart has sweet potato cream, creme chantilly and diplomat, and candied purple sweet potato cubes. While the texture may be more dense (the sweet potato adds some heft), I loved that the tart itself wasn't too sweet at all. It had a very earthy flavour that I enjoyed, and the buttery cookie crust was perfect! Nicholas This chocolate tart is beautiful - I was so mesmerized that I chose it immediately. Unfortunately for me, I didn't notice that its main ingredient is caramel (not a huge caramel lover!). I found the tart a touch too sweet and gooey for my liking, but my boyfriend who loves caramel greatly enjoyed it. Lea This attractive lemon tart with a sparkly caramelized tart also caught my eye. It's perfect for lemon lovers - it is quite acidic and hits you with a strong, overwhelming lemon essence. Personally, I would've preferred a more subdued flavour muted with a tad more sugar. Overall, yuzu has masterful butter tart bases - I couldn't help raving about the crust with every bite! Cannot wait to try more options next time. read more

So excited to check out Yuzu No Ki Patisserie & Cafe, the newest hidden gem in J-Town! It is the last shop at the very end of the strip, right next to Sasaki Fine Pastry. Only been opened for a month or so, Yuzu No Ki has already caused a huge local buzz before social media caught on lol. Be prepared to line up outside, and just a heads-up, items do sell out fast, so go early if you can! There are sweet and savoury items avaliable. Row on rows of mini desserts, quiches, buttery scones, and many specialty baked goods. I can't wait to go back and try some more! Here are some of the ones I've had: Choux Croquant ($4) - Super crunchy outer layer and filled with fresh vanilla bean cream on the spot #takemymoney - Flavour changes daily - People literally just come in to buy this popular item! Chocolatte ($6) - An eclair made with vanilla bean pastry cream, and 60% Belgium chocolate fondant - The soft version of the choux, like a cream puff, just as tasty! Lavender Scone ($3.75) - Recommended by the staff, love the lemon and not-over-powering floral lavender taste! - There are also earl grey, and pizza flavours! Violetta ($7.50) - Purple sweet potato cream, with candied purple sweet potato cubes in frangipane tart - if you love purple sweet potato, this one is definitely for you - it reminds me of the chestnut flavoured desserts ^^ Nicholas ($7.00) - Caramel + chocolate ganache, with Belgium cinnamon cookie tart shell - cinnamon was the magic word for me! - this tart can get a little messy when you're eating it lol. Lumiere ($7.25) - Blueberry confiture, blueberry yogurt mousse, cheese mousse, milk glacage, streusel cookies - flavours go well together, taste like a smooth cheesecake - some might find it a little on the tart side read more

Finally came to this place since they opened up. The setup is like other patisserie type stores. They got the infamous tofu cheesecakes. They serve drinks and other baked goods. So we got a matcha latte for drink, a chocolate eclair and a tart called Isabella. The matcha latte tasted very different very it's not sweetened at all. We greatly appreciate the flavour, so we can truly taste the matcha. The chocolate eclair is light and not over sweet. We like! We are waiting for more goods from them. Hoping they will go onto IG. read more
I needed a quick meal and since I was in the area thought I would come in and grab a bun or something. Ended up buying 3 different quiche and Earl Grey scone the wife wanted for dessert, so I can't speak on that one because she didn't share. Quiche one was like a ham and cheese. Pastry was very nice, and egg was so fluffy. This first one set the pace for the rest of the quiche and had my expectations pretty high. Second quiche was a mushroom one. This one was my favourite. Again beautiful crust and egg, but those mushrooms were so tasty and you get tons of them in there. I would go back for another one of these. Third quiche I thought was like a basil and tomato, could have been spinach. The best surprise though was all the nice salty bacon on the bottom. Prices are a bit high between $7 to $7.50 each for maybe 10cm diameter. But u get what you pay for. Amazing ingredients and flavour in these pastries. They have other things I would love to try. Desserts look amazing. They present beautifully. I will have to go back for a lemon tart soon. Would definitely be going back. read more

We checked out this (slightly hidden) place on a Sunday afternoon and they were largely out of the small pastries and a few cakes left. It was also Mother's Day which may have been why most things were sold out. The shop is located towards the backside of the JTown complex. We picked up a Mushroom & Swiss Danish and a Curry Sausage Danish with a cappuccino and a matcha latte. The store unfortunately couldn't warm up the pastries which definitely would've helped the taste. The mushroom pastry was flavourful in the center, flaky, but a little dry around the edges. The curry sausage pastry had a strong curry taste which was nice but gets boring/flat halfway through since it's primarily curry powder based. The drinks were sort of subpar, but maybe the barista was having an off day. The steamed milk for the cappuccino was too bubbly and didn't have enough microfoam. The coffee beans they used were nice and light and not acidic. The matcha latte tasted more like watered down green tea (not matcha) milk albeit the 'matcha' wasn't bitter, just a bit bland. Overall, I think the spot has potential to serve quality pastries and drinks for a brunch or snack but could really benefit from an oven and improved drinks. Will try and be back earlier in the day to try the other menu offerings. read more
I was at Jtown with my mom over the weekend to make a grocery run. As we were heading towards the car, we decided I stopped by to check out what they have despite already buying treats elsewhere already. Looking at their display case of goodies, it was impossible to resist not walking out with anything. We ended up buying a slice of black sesame tofu cheesecake and an earl grey scone. The cheesecake was very delicious with a layer of black sesame cream on top, a layer of black sesame cheesecake with a layer of tofu cheesecake and a cookie base. We heated up the scone, the flavour was fine, however, I found it to be very dry and crumbly. I may pass on the scone next time, but definitely the cake was great. They had a yuzu cream croissant that was labelled the "weekend special", I'd give that a try next time! read more
The best Japanese dessert in town. Their mushroom pie is savoury and delicious. The sweet pies too esp this sweet potato pie. The montblanc is also amazing. Not too sweet with rich, fresh flavours. I love their cream too~ milky and creamy read more
Yuzu No Ki is J-town's newest patisserie and cafe. Located in the back of J-town, this bakery sells a variety of baked goods and pastries including tarts, muffins, quiches, and cakes. They also have a selection of beverages available as well. I came to know of this place after I saw it on Instagram and was intrigued to check it out for myself. I dropped by Yuzu No Ki on a Tuesday later morning. The interior of the shop is minimalist and appealing to the eye where you are drawn immediately to the display of colourful tarts. I had a hard time choosing but got a lemon tart, chocolate tart, and a kinako financer. Service was friendly and they were patient with me as I chose my desserts. All the items were reasonably priced as well! Food wise, the tarts were delicious! I am a huge fan of lemon tarts in general and this one did not disappoint. The caramelized sugar on top provided a great balance to the tartness of the lemon curd in the tart. I didn't find the tart overly sweet which was a bonus. The shell of the tart is a bit hard but had a good taste. My husband also enjoyed his chocolate tart since there was caramel in the middle as well. The kinako financer was made well and moist. Overall, great new addition to J-Town. Do check them out if you are ever around the area! read more
I was told this place sells out quick so if you want pastries you would need to go early. Luckily I had a friend that came here and picked up a few pastries to bring over. Tried the purple yam tart, lemon tart, scone and the blueberry mousse tart. Super Instagram worthy and it looked delicious. I loved the blueberry mousse tart, it was light, not so sweet and had hints of bluberry filling. The shell wasn't soggy on all the pastries but everything else tasted pretty average. Nothing else really stood out in my opinion. I would really love to try their other tarts, cake rolls, tofu cheesecakes and choux pastries as they look amazing on their Instagram page. read more
Out of the desserts in my picture, the must trys are the lemon meringue tart and the matcha green tea cake. Everything else was great, too. The lemon dessert is a perfect combination of lemon custard, meringue, and crust. Very tart and a bit on the sweeter side. It's quite masterful. The green tea cake was much better than expected. It looks like an opera cake, however the matcha flavour was far more intense than others I've tried, and that's a good thing! These pastries are high quality with an appealing aesthetic design. Perfect for giving as gifts or to enjoy yourself. read more
This is a small bakery tucked away beside the JTown market. It serves a variety of pastries and cakes including a sesame tofu cake that seemed to be a popular item. I got there later in the day and there wasn't much left to choose from. I got the sweet purple potato danish and another matcha danish that had a mochi filling. To be honest I was disappointed in both and wanted to give 2.5 stars but I'm giving 3 because I only tried a very small selection. Aesthetically everything looked promising so maybe there are other items like the cakes that are better. read more
Since it was my first time trying this place, I asked the cashier for some top sellers. She recommended the Violetta (purple sweet potato tart) and Lumiere tart and for pastry she recommended the Mochi Danish. I end up getting the Mochi Danish, it was probably my favourite out of all the things I purchased. It was an interesting combination with mochi texture and red beans instead. 5/5!!! Note: make sure you heat it up in the often! It taste so much better when heated! I also tried their ubi tart. If you love ubi this is the one for you! Very strong ubi taste and soft tart crust. 4/5! If you have a sweet tooth this is a must try! Very friendly staff and Asian inspired pastries and tarts to try! Can't wait to try more pastries next time! :) read more

This restaurant is located in the newly reorganized Jtown. The store is simple yet cute with an assortment of baked cookies, cakes and pastries. I have been wanting to try this bakery but couldn't justify buying so many just for one person lol. At about $7 (on average) per slice or mini cake, i had pretty high expectations for these cute cakes. 1) green matcha cake- I loved the bitterness of the matcha but it was paired with a cream that was a bit too sweet. So if you like your matcha sweeter, this is the slice for you! But for me, it was 2/5 2) purple yam tart - lovely butter crust (true for the following tarts) and the purple yam was not too sweet. If you like yam (FYI:I don't even like yam!)and you're looking for a light tart, this is the one 4/5. 3) caramel chocolate tart- no thank you. The caramel flowed out (pretty), but was very sweet, even in contrast to the dark chocolate! To each their own, but this combo did not satisfy my chocolate dreams. 2/5 4) mango tart- they have seasonal fruit tarts. At the moment it is mango, green grapes and blueberries. Mango was the easy choice, And it DID NOT DISAPPOINT. Delicious mango with that butter crust. This is easily the one I recommend. 5/5 Part 2 coming! read more

Decided to stop by to try their Violetta tart. Upon walking in you get a very clean feel from the place. There is only one person working but it's a very quiet spot so not sure that it gets busy enough for more employees. The dessert was just ok. The purple cream on top was a bit dense and not as smooth as I'd expected it to be. The crust part was also a bit too hard and on the drier side. Presentation wise the desserts look nice but taste wise I'd say it's mediocre only. read more

Came across this Japanese cafe + patisserie when walking around J-Town. Really nice inside, super clean, and service was friendly and attentive. I got a bunch of tarts such as the Purple Yam Sweet potato, Chocolate Raspberry, Chocolate Hazelnut, Lemon Brulee, and a classic Fruit Tart. Tarts were not overly sweet but very flavourful. My personal favourite would definitely be the Purple Yam Sweet potato as I am a huge fan of ube. Also got the cornmeal muffin which is so amazing! It had the perfect crust on the top, and was so soft inside. Love the touch of the corn kernels as well. Will definitely be back to try more of their amazing desserts! I do hope they set up a website or an IG account sometime soon. read more

Been here a couple of times. First visit was on a weekday around 6pm and almost everything was sold out so i was only able to get my hands on two small cakes. The lumiere and the sweet potato cakes are highly recommended. The sweet potato is similar to a chestnut cake in texture and taste! Very delicious. Prices are slightly steeper. For a full size cake they are about 55 dollars. Overall enjoy how the cakes are not overly sweet. read more
Originally wanting to walk Heisei Mart but there was a line up. I saw a sign pointing to a cafe I've never been so I was curious. Walked in and saw a bunch of cute cakes on display as well as pastries! If you order 6 cakes it's tax free! I don't exactly remember all the names of the cakes I ordered but I do remember all of them being very light and GOOD! I'm a little biased since I love blueberry so the Lumiere was definitely my favourite! The Choux Croquant was also one of the best I've ever had :)! Definitely coming back to try the rest! They also offer bigger sizes for the cakes which would be great for birthdays! They only accept cash/debit read more
Went to J-town over the weekend and found this patisserie shop right next to Sasaki Fine Pastry. I bought quite a few items to try out: Savory croissants - mushroom & cheese, ham & cheese, curry sausage. I personally find the texture of the croissants is a bit too hard and dry. It is like eating a loaf of bread. The buttery flavour was mild and wish there were more fillings inside. The curry sausage smells wonderfully but it's lack of flavour. Not sure what type of sausage they use - to me it taste like fish sausage due to lack of saltiness. Mushroom and cheese is my favourite. The croissant is filled with gruyère cheese and mushroom. It wasn't bad. Sweets croissants - purple sweet potato, Yuzu cream danish & earl grey. Normally, I'm not a huge fans of fruits jam flavored danish/breads but I love, love, love their yuzu cream danish. Soo good! Not too sweet or sour. Very citrusy and refreshing. I couldn't resist the vibrant colour of purple sweet potato. It was okay.. again..it's the texture of the croissant. Too dry, not flaky and buttery enough. The earl grey taste very subtle. Pastries - matcha brownies, houjicha financier & kinako financier. I thought there was filling inside these financier cause there was a bump at the back of it but it was just a moist almond cake. The houjicha was my favourite. The tea flavour was surprising strong. I went at around 4pm on Saturday and most pastries are already sold out! Next time, I'll definitely visit earlier to try their baked goodies! read more
Arrived at 4PM on a Saturday and everything was already sold out. Really wanted to try the purple potato and blueberry mousse tart that everyone takes a picture of but the only tart left was the lemon one :'( The staff there were very friendly and helpful and they recommended me items that they thought I would like from the remaining menu. I got the lemon tart, the yuzu cream danish and the mochi danish. If you like sour things, the lemon tart is for you. It was very sour lol but still refreshing. The yuzu danish was highly recommended to me by the cashier and it was really delicious! Strong yuzu flavour. The mochi danish was quite interesting... it had matcha and red bean on the inside. Would I get it again? Probably not but it was interesting as I've never had mochi inside a flaky pastry before. Overall, we liked how the desserts weren't overly sweet and how flaky all the pastries were. Will try to come earlier during the day next time so I can try some of their more popular items. UPDATE: Came back again and finally got to try some of their other tarts. We got an assortment and can confirm that the sweet potato and blueberry yogurt mousse are definitely a must try!! read more
