Happy Sky Japanese Bakery

Queued for a while as the shop is tiny and consists of only a till. Got a matcha mochi croissant and the matcha cinnamon roll to share with my friend. Matcha Mochi Croissant has good texture, it has the crunch, not flaky and not greasy, however the matcha taste is non existent and there wasn’t much mochi inside. At over £6, I expect better. Matcha cinnamon roll was just too sweet and the bread is quite dense. I’d prefer a lighter bread texture. This was nothing special for me. I wanted to try their honey toast to compare with the one from arome but they sold out. Staff are friendly but the store is too small. Would I return? Not for that price or the queue. For me, it’s overhyped and overpriced.

Staff are cheerful and efficient. Although the queue was long, it took me 30mins to get what I wanted. I went there twice, so I highly recommend their honey toast, red bean bun, matcha mochi croissant, and petal layer toast. Filter coffee is the sour taste that reminds me the blue bottle brew. Like the shop very much! Exactly the same I tasted in Tokyo bakery.

I heard that a new bakery shop (Japanese Style) is open near Tottenham Court Road. I had 4 different pastries: Matcha Mochi Ribbon, Honey Toast, Petal Croissant, and Matcha Custer bun. I’m willing to go back for matcha mochi ribbon again; it is not overly sweet or bitter, and the ribbon's style is unique. Honey Toast is a bit too sweet (the sweetness kicks in really quickly) for me; however, it is worth trying for someone who has sweet teeth and loves consciousness. Petal Croissant: It was just okay, but I won’t get it again. It's not because it's terrible; it's just that I didn’t like it that much. I can’t tell what's so special about this type of Petal croissant… Lastly, the Matcha Custer bun (I can’t remember if this name is correct). I love it because the inside of the bun has a mochi texture, which makes the inner paste more chewy.

Loving their Honey Toast!!! The red bean bread (An Pan) was lovely too. Wanted to try their Mochi An Pan but they were already out when we visited (it was only around 12:30pm😂)… Although their bread and pastries are of really good quality, I still think they are a bit on the pricy side.

Super tiny Japanese bakery with a fantastic variety of interesting Japanese flavours. I went on a Sunday (it opens at 11) and joined the queue at 11:25am. I was served at 11:55am. By the time I left the queue had doubled. There is only space for one customer at a time. As a lover of east Asian flavours I wanted to try everything. Macha, red bean, melon and apple are the dominant sweet flavours. With yakisoba, curry and karage savoury pastries. Everything in the window looked beautiful. As the bakery had just opened the items I ate tasted super fresh, I ordered the curry puff and mochi red bean bun. The curry puff's bread was warm, super soft and stretchy, the curry was full of umami but could have had more vegetables in it. The mochi red bean bun was fantastic, fresh mochi matched well with a tangy bit of cream cheese and rich red bean, for people who don't know red bean, it's not that sweet. My order was £10.60 total. All items are between £4-£7. There is no seating so I suggest walking 2 mins to soho square to eat on the many benches.

It's my second time visiting this bakery and I am hoping my first visit was somehow get the wrong batch. Unfortunately, it's the same. I have tried most of their savoury products and all of them are very bland! It doesn't represent Japanese bakery at all! Rather than misleading. I had ordered the chicken teriyaki bun, mentaiko bun and the chicken sando. It's truly ashamed to put high hopes on Japanese bakery in London on them yet they taste worse than the local bakery!

What a nice bakery to find ! It's very small and we had to queue a little but it's totally worth it. They have a selection of sweet and savory treats and some coffe to take away. We tried the petal croissant (had no idea it existed) and honey toast. Both were really tasty especially the honey toasts which I totally recommend trying. The petal croissant tastes exactly like a croissant but is a square and you can seperate each piece or "petal". We will definitely come back for the matcha cinammon rolls.

I'd say pass on the cod roe bun, it's kind of bland. But the teriyaki chicken bread and the the matcha cinnamon bun are both great. And the mochi custard cream bun is to die for 10/10.
