This is one of my favorite places to eat lunch. I have sampled many of the items on her menu and all of them are just wonderfully delicious

Tasty food (savory and sweet), cute atmosphere (seating in the back), and very nice people! For lunch, we usually order 1 of the lunch combinations (fried chicken sandwich with miso soup is our favorite), 1-2 savory pastries, and 1-2 sweet pastries. Highly recommended.

Very friendly ladies. Quaint small dining area. Pork Sandwich was juicy and crisp and came to the table in about 7 minutes. I will say $13.72 is a bit high IMO. Beautiful deserts. I didn’t try one but if they taste as good as they look I will be back to do so.

Good food and very good experience. It was a bit tight upon entry, but once the menu was explained, everything was as expected. we had the salmon filled onigiri which had 1-2 pieces of bone in it. The karaage ended up being a bit oily as it sat on the plate overtime as we were eating our food which caused the Crispness to go down. I was a bit let down with this meal but for the price and amount you get, I liked it overall. The raspberry and strawberry cake slices were the best part of the visit

I look forward to visiting here every single time I'm in the Cincinnati area. Easily the best Miso Soup I've ever had and the Fried Chicken and Onigiri combo is to die for! Every single baked good I've had here has been a 10/10 and I tell everyone I know to swing by if they're in the area. Cannot recommend enough!

We stumbled in for Mother’s Day and were greeted with warmth. The staff were so friendly and even gave us 3 dishes to try on the house. For the customer service alone you MUST check them out. I have not experienced service like this in years. 5 stars !!!
The definition of “hidden gem”. They are so friendly and the pastries are sooooo good. One of the places that makes Covington special

Amazing food. We tried the desserts, but can't wait to go back to try some of the savory options. The owner is super friendly.

This is a great Japanese bakery and cafe in the Mainstrasse neighborhood of Covington. The only reason I gave them 4* is because I didn't quite like my karagge (spelling?) chicken sandwich. It might of just been a taste preference, but it had a lot of mayo on it. And using iceberg lettuce on a just fried piece of chicken, it was super wilted, almost slimy in the 5 minute delay before I ate it. I know it was only because it was this type of lettuce and had been placed on very hot chicken. That being said, I will definitely go back, just for the pastries. My photos don't do them justice. There was an entire additional display case of cold pastries we didn't have a chance to see.

I am obsessed with this place. They have so many options each one better than the last. The staff if helpful and friendly. I just wish they were open earlier on weekends, but that’s is my only qualm.
