They only have one food item aka salt bread on their menu, and they 100% master it. I heard that the owner was inspired by shio pan in Japan, so their salt bread leans towards japanese style.
The bakery is run by the Okiboru team. If you know Okiboru, you know they don’t miss. From their og tsukemen spot, to himokawa udon, and now this bakery, they’re always ahead of the trend.
＊Original Salt Bread
*** 3 salt bread + sweet cream set $12, salt bread $4.5 each, additional sweet cream $1
Their salt bread is so soft and buttery with a lightly crispy exterior and flaky sea salt on top. As you pull it apart, the bread stretches slightly and reveals the fluffy center.
I tried it on its own first, then dipped it into their original, chocolate, and Uji matcha sweet cream. My secret hack: dip the bread into the salt coffee latte—it basically turns into coffee sweet cream and tastes heavenly.
＊Signature Salt Coffee Latte $6.5
They have salt coffee and salt matcha. I went with the salt coffee, which is a latte sweetened with vanilla, topped with cold foam and Himalayan pink salt. That little bit of salt really elevates the drink. It reminded me of the creamy einspanner I had in Seoul.
I was also really surprised when I stepped inside — unlike most bakeries in Manhattan/East Village, the space is huge with plenty of seatings (and tatami!), and even a clean restroom on the basement!!
