Description

The understated storefront is easy to miss from the street, but inside, the focus is on structural pastry design. The menu features Japanese-inspired treats and baked goods that prioritize presentation and controlled, subtle sweetness. Individual pieces, like the orange dessert with its hard candy-like shell and creamy interior, showcase a deliberate play on textures. While the menu has expanded well beyond simple puff pastries, expect a higher price point for these detailed creations.
