Summary: good… but they should def work on presentation and operation methods. Otherwise, was fun trying out but I’d go to other big bakery chains for more and yummier options.
Food: out of the items I got, I only really liked 1 item and that was the fluffy curry bread. The meat to bread ratio was perfect and the flavor was tasty. The katsu chicken bread could’ve been good if it was actually warmed up. The remaining breads were just too bready and honestly a little dry, like that jalapeño dog one. And outside of food, DO NOT GET THE MATCHA LATTE. Genuinely was the worst matcha drink ever bc that mf tasted like straight up powder. Had to basically wait an hour for the ice to help dilute everything down for it to even be edible. Was very very disappointed.
Price: expensive imo, especially for some. Not trying to compare to more well known bakery chains, but given the quality and taste of these breads, they should be priced more between the $2-3 instead of the $3-5 range.
Service: like other big chains, it’s a self serve place. Grab your trays and tongs and get what you want and bring to check out.
Atmosphere: pretty spacious area with beautiful lighting but its decor can be worked on. Lots of seating availablility so it can be ideal for studying or a hangout/date. Just be aware that with the spaciousness and building material, the volume can maybe get loud.
Note: although I think the shelf presentation can be cute, it’s honestly hard to grab the bread without being awkward. Just kinda inefficient bc you open the glass case by grabbing the small hole and depending on where the bread is located, either have to bend or stretch to grab it. Not only that, the clear display of what each bread is, is hard to read unless you’re up close. And if you are up close, you’re blocking other people’s way of getting what they want. I’d strongly recommend switching the way these breads are presented because they’re hard to access and read its content. And revamp your decor because it doesn’t feel as welcoming and nice as other bakery chains.
