To say I was excited that a place like this opened is an understatement. I got there about 20 minutes before they opened to already a decent sized line. I was about the 10th in line, luckily it was still in the shade as it got pretty hot out there.
It took about 10-15 minutes till it was finally my turn to which the staff thanked us for waiting. I watched people in front of me walk out with multiple bags, glad I got there early. The way they have it set up is a good flow as you're able to grab the bentos & onigiri while you're waiting in line.It looked like that day, there were about 11 different pastries in the case. I got the salmon onigiri, along with some pastries, & proceeded to wait for my okonomiyaki fries.
The salmon onigiri was good, salted with heat to it. I will say there was quite a bit of rice, but it was still very tasty. The fries, so crisp & was really like eating okonomiyaki toppings on top of fries. So savory & with a generous amount of toppings. The rolls, I got all of them that day except for the guava. The chocolate chantilly was good, chantilly was a bit sweet, but the cake wasn't so it balanced well. Birthday cake, which you'd think would be sweet wasn't, really good. I wish the actual thing tasted like this. Tokyo banana, was a favorite among the group, it wasn't that strong American banana flavor, it was the more subdued Japanese flavor, so yummy. Matcha berry was another favorite, the little tart from the strawberry complimented the match well. The cream puffs were good with crisp top, even after being in the fridge the top still had some crisp to it. Ube-coco is ube with coconut not chocolate,not sure why I assumed that when it was clearly spelled different. The ube flavor was a bit mild, the coconut definitely shined through on that one. French apple cream puff is literally like eating apple pie& ice cream in cream puff form with actual apple pie filling in it.
After checking their IG, it looked like they were only open an hour & a half before selling out that day, but for good reason. I will definitely be back to try the other pastries & bentos. They also have a stamp card so for every $10, you get a stamp.
