The bakery staff is praised for their friendly service, often gifting customers with complimentary cookies. Customers have enjoyed a variety of treats such as almond croissants, which are described as delicious and flaky, and cinnamon peach pastries that are loved by children. The bakery also features a pastry that is sweet, salty, and flaky, which has become a favorite. While the prices may be a bit high for regular visits, the quality of the fresh, homemade pastries is widely acclaimed by satisfied customers. Many visitors find the staff to be very friendly and welcoming, making each visit a pleasant experience. Recent reviews highlight the bakery’s good quality, with some customers noting that the pastries are probably the best in the area, despite limited options and higher prices. One reviewer, a matcha lover, praised the matcha for its perfect color and taste, calling it truly amazing. However, some visitors expressed disappointment with the cinnamon rolls, describing them as dense, hard in some spots, and lacking flavor in the frosting. Despite that, the bakery remains a place worth visiting for its quality treats and welcoming atmosphere.
