What People Are Saying
from Google & Yelp"We immediately came here after watching the latest episode of My Campfire Cooking in Another World with my Absurd Skills that showed delicious Japanese Cakes and pastries. If you're looking for Japanese pastries, THIS is the place to go. We got the strawberry short cake and Matcha slice - whipped cream was heavenly and Matcha cake was delicate. Best of all - not too sweet. Anpan (not pictured cuz it disappeared off the plate so quick lmao) and Totoro pan had the classic Japanese bread taste with respective fillings. Best of all, highly, highly recommend their cream puffs. They are GENEROUSLY filled every time. The matcha one was SO GOOD, with the bitter/sweet matcha flavored cream true to authentic taste. The family that runs the place is hardworking and sweet. Def check them out if you're around - pick up a dessert or "Asa-pan" (breakfast bread) for your next morning for a little treat to start off the day :)"
"Lovely, tasty, and cute selection of baked goods! Would be back, the Matcha Totoro Pan had such a rich filling without being too sweet, and the bun itself is warm and perfectly baked without being too thick."
"🎉Discover the magic at Japonaise Bakery. This cozy spot is a true gem. What makes it so special? Their authentic Japanese treats and beautifully crafted buns inspired by Studio Ghibli — they’re truly buns of art! 🥖 🎨 Every visit feels like a delicious adventure, and I love coming back for more. If you’re craving a bakery that’s both charming and unique, Japonaise is the place to be — it’s simply un-bun-lievable!"
"Lovely little Bakery really cute very sweet people very attentive very delicious looking baked goods but also they taste quite amazing. It was a delight to go in there. Lots of smiles from the workers. Happy to go back."
"A must stop if you are looking for good pastry and coffee. The selection is wider than that tho, with anything from cream filled pastry to savory nigiri! its a quite, cozy place with good service. Their cold brew with cream has a nice chocolaty note 🫶 (personally the matcha flavored pastry was not that flavorful, but that’s personal)"
"Cute and DELICIOUS! Absolutely adorable bread designs with many ghibli characters and simple designs~ savory and sweet options. The shop has been around..."
