Unique, delicious pastry. Best croissants and sourdough bread. Nice people. Can sit inside or outside.
I have been to Japonaise for nearly 3 decades and all other locations they used to own. This little gem is operated by Takeo and his mom. Pure labor of love. Takeo works as primary baker.
Everything here are delicious from breads, pastries, cakes, and some savory - Japanese delicacies. Takeo works very very long hours everyday making all of these. Wonderful folks.
Asuki cream is my all time favorite.

Japonaise Bakery & Cafe offers a delightful experience with its delicious pastries and friendly service. This Japanese bakery specializes in Japanese confectionery and baked goods, serving a variety of treats, including the popular matcha azuki cream, spicy onigiri, and chocolate Totoro pan. The premium shoku pan, ideal for making Japanese egg sandwiches, is a must-try, known for its airy, fluffy, and slightly creamy texture. Other recommended items include the Shio Butter, Curry Pan, Smoked Chibi, and Chicken Katsu Sandwich.
Customers have noted the lovely fast service and the staff's attention to detail, even offering free pastries when the red bean buns were slightly overbaked. While the bakery can be busy and lacks seating and restrooms, the small shop has a cute atmosphere. A small covered patio a few blocks away provides a place to sit. The baked goods are cute and feature soft, pillowy bread with generous fillings, although some customers feel the taste is not outstanding for the price. Overall, Japonaise Bakery & Cafe is a wonderful spot for those seeking quality Japanese baked goods.
