About Okayama Kobo Bakery & Cafe Laguna Niguel

Okayama Kobo Bakery & Cafe Laguna Niguel is a Japanese bakery with a fun selection of pastries. The salt bread is a standout, described as a delicate and fluffy bread with a crisp and flaky crust and a subtle savory-sweet flavor that never feels too heavy. Other pastries include the soft Kobo Kuma with vanilla custard, the matcha mochi anpan with red bean and mochi filling, and the Earl Grey milk tea pastry with a crisp top and rich tea cream. The melon pan and salted butter roll are must-try items, and the salt and butter roll is soft, chewy, and crispy on the bottom. The cinnamon roll is one of the best, and the rose matcha and matcha salt cold brew are tasty too. The baked goods are fresh, light, fluffy, and delicious, with fresh ingredients you can taste and a lot of options, including red bean choices. The store has a charming aesthetic with a Cinnamoroll theme, some seating outside, and just enough room inside to order. It is a bit pricey, but unique and fresh. The wait isn't long during the week, but it is popular on weekends. Great quality and service.
