A good spot to grab some brunch!! This is my second time here. I just accidentally saw this place and ever thought I'll love it.
Great sandwiches, not super cheap, but great quality ingredients. Their pastries are delicious too.

This is a cute cafe with Japanese sandos similar to the ones you find in Tokyo. The matcha espresso latte was rich and flavorful. Interior is petit with seating along the window. There is a side and front patio with additional seating. The drinks take some time to prepare. Food was served beautifully

I wonder what kind of operation system they have here. Just ordering bread requires standing in a line of seven people for 30 minutes, and then it takes another 20 minutes just to receive a coffee. And yet, there are about 10 employees inside, but they seem like nothing more than ghosts. They are slow and inaccurate, as if the work has been handed to slackers. There were even two mistakes in my order. It makes absolutely no sense. There’s only one coffee machine—maybe they want to serve freshly brewed coffee, but taking 20 minutes for a single cup is ridiculous. They should either add more coffee machines or prepare drip coffee in advance and keep it in a pot. The ghostly employees need proper guidance to work more efficiently.

Always a long line at the cashier but didn’t have any trouble finding the table to dine in. You need to make sure to order everything at once, otherwise, you need to line up again to order more. Famous for Egg Salad and the most popular item is Brisket Sando.

What a great gem to find! We were out early for a class and we're going to stop to get a donut, and saw this place. Omg sooo great. We had a savory and sweet options and matcha. Great atmosphere, the service was great too. They were so kind and polite. I wish I would have gotten the girls name eho helped us but I was so overwhelmed by the awesomeness. We will be back that Ube pastry sooooo good.

Love this spot! The sandwiches are super tasty and the desserts are always fresh out of the oven. Cozy vibe and friendly staff — definitely a favorite bakery of mine.

This bakery is criminally underrated. Top notch service and food, not to mention fairly priced (by SoCal standards) to boot.

Ordered the roast beef and it was really good, came with a small salad too. The Hojicha latte w/ strawberry here was quite nice.
They also have a pastry counter with some unique items, e.g., Hojicha cookie
The atmosphere is great, with both indoor and outdoor seating. Outdoors has umbrellas and canopies, my favorite kind where you get sunlight without being directly under it.
Came on a Sunday morning around 9am and didn’t need to wait for a table. The place was about 80% full the whole time, which felt just right.
If you like Japanese sandos, ASA in San Diego has great ones, too.

This cafe known forJapanese sandos and matchas, and other offerings. The bread were milky and soft: fillings were stacked. Tasty sandos but is a bit on the pricier side. Good place to grab a bite.

I really like the matcha, the egg sando is also great. However it’s a bit pricy, and the waiting time during weekends is pretty long.

Brio brio is wonderful. The sandwichs are very tasty and come with a salad which is filled with fresh greens. I got the chashu pork sando and my partner got the brisket. Thankfully they cut them in half for a shareable experience. Both were delicious! I had the hojicha strawberry over ice... amazing. We also tried the matcha yuzu lemonade...very refreshing. All in all, I have a long list of things to try there in the future.
