"After Japanese owner Hiroyuki Takahashi opened his first restaurant, Takahachi, he decided to introduce Japanese bread to New York with the opening of Takahachi Bakery in 2011. This cozy bakery is located on a quiet street in Tribeca and specializes in matcha-flavored desserts. No trip here is complete without getting the green tea crepe, which is strong on the matcha flavor and filled with light cream and red bean.

A must try Japanese place If you're looking to experience the charm of a Japanese bakery. Located on Murray street, this bakery offers an impressive selection of Japanese-inspired pastries that are both unique and delicious. I had the Coconut Cream Bun, and it was absolutely delightful. The bun was soft and fluffy, filled with a light and creamy coconut filling that had just the right amount of sweetness. Every bite was rich, yet not overwhelming—perfect for anyone who enjoys tropical flavors. What truly sets Takahachi apart is the wide variety of pastries they offer. From savory options like curry buns to sweet treats like matcha-flavored pastries, there’s something for everyone. Whether you’re in the mood for something traditional or looking to try something new, the options are great. The ambiance adds to the experience—it's cozy, warm, and inviting, making it an ideal spot to enjoy your pastry with a coffee or tea while unwinding. The relaxing atmosphere makes it a great place to stop by, whether you're grabbing something on the go or looking to enjoy a quiet moment. Entrance faces southwest and is wheel chair accessible. Clean restrooms. I recommend this gem and with so many pastries to choose from I will definitely return to try.

I go to this place for lunch everyday. So many options yet so cheap. Burgers, sandwiches, salads, savory and sweet pastries, desserts and cakes all delicious. There are small portion salad, perfect for small appetite people. Please be open forever, otherwise I don't know how to survive my work days. Somen salad is my favorite but only available in summer.

I visited Takahachi Bakery, and unfortunately, my experience left me feeling quite underwhelmed. I had high hopes for this establishment, known for its Japanese baked goods, but my visit didn’t quite meet my expectations. I decided to stop by toward the end of the day, which may have contributed to my impression, as the selection was notably limited. I found myself wishing for more variety, as the offerings seemed sparse and less enticing than I anticipated. Additionally, the cleanliness of the space was a concern; there were a few areas that felt a bit dirty, which detracted from the overall experience. On a positive note, I ordered the cherry tea, which was delicious and refreshing. It had a lovely flavor that brightened my mood amidst my other disappointments. However, the matcha parfait I tried was a letdown. It was dry and lacked the richness I expected, making it difficult to enjoy. In fact, I only managed to eat half of it before deciding to toss the rest away—a rare occurrence for me when it comes to desserts. Overall, my visit to Takahachi Bakery did not live up to the reputation it has garnered. While the cherry tea was a highlight, the limited selection, cleanliness issues, and the disappointing matcha parfait left much to be desired. I hope to give it another chance in the future, perhaps earlier in the day when the selection is fresher and more abundant. For now, I can’t say I would recommend it based on this experience.

A decently priced Japanese bakery a couple blocks away from the Oculus. They have a wide range of lunchable items + all kinds of sweets/savory baked goods. Although all of them look good, it’s either a big hit or miss so I recommend trying out different things. The mini lemon muffin & tuna avocado sandwich were good. What impressed me was they sell sandwich breads in 3 types of thickness to choose from🍞

pretty cheap, great atmosphere Lots of options besides just bread Tried lots of items. AVOID: Gouda cheese, Gouda ham, Curry Cheese Beef (6.5/10) They skimp on cheese and ham— it’s mostly bread (the bread is good though) Other ratings: Egg salad: pretty average 8/10 Kaki Fry: Kind of dry 7/10 Melon Pan: too sweet 7/10 Beef frank: too much sausage, too less bread, but the bread is yummy 8/10 An Pan: 6/10 too sweet Haven’t found anything particularly good yet but my sister loves everything she’s gotten here

Reliable bakery for quick eats (sandwiches and salads), and buns and such. I got their fried shrimp sandwich last time, it was good but no pic. This time I got a pork cutlet. The fries looked sad but the seasoning actually made it good, its still soggy but it complimented the sanndwich well. The pork cutlet was actually very good, and the crunchy cabbage shreds are 10/10, with the super light mayo. I’m usually not a fan of mayo but this is different. Its so very airy and I’m a fan.

A cozy little bakery with a great selection of pastries, breads, and sandwiches. They have interesting takes on croissants and traditional French breads but with some flavoring or other twist that hearkens to Japanese taste. It's a reliable place to grab a bite for a snack or something heavier.

It is a cozy place that serves delicious matcha and caramel lattes. I also especially love their lunch selection of egg with sandwiches or their baked goods. Such delicious choices, you can't go wrong. In addition, the staff is so friendly. Also, they have slices of bread for under $6, which are yummy. One of my fave cafe/bakeries in the city!

The food was absolutely amazing, so fresh and well crafted. We enjoyed our breakfast and will definitely be going back frequently!! The portion was huge, I could barely finish it

Small bakery with big selection of sweet and savory baked goods and some cake as well. I enjoyed selecting a number of the pre packaged baked goods. I really like red bean so I got some of the red bean buns and I shared it with some friends. We all loved it and it has generous red bean filling. I can't wait to enjoy the rest. I got some curry filled buns, crème filled buns, and melon bun. The staff are very nice and there's some table seating available. I got a hot latte and it was quite good. Overall, a great place to stop by for a drink or baked goods!

Nice bakery with hot and cold premade sandwiches, with salads as well as light bento boxes. Breads and cakes, seating, and single bathroom. I had the miso almond cookie thats my favorite, had a pork katsu sandwich as well, it is tasty and light. Previously I had a fried shrimp sandwich, it was also enjoyed well by myself. The shrimp is tempura in the long form and cut which was nice, better than the pounded mushed up shrimps toast I had before. Some seating in the back and comfy couches.

Brandon Y.

Yelp

Was in the neighborhood and noticed this bakery so came in for a quick lunch. The fried oyster bun was pretty fresh and I liked the sauce it came with though it was definitely on the small side. The miso almond cookie I got was soft n chewy with hints of brown butter n caramel, super good, I would come back for that cookie alone. Besides that, the space itself is very quaint. A little small but the seating area is nice and has a view of the workspace where the bakers make the pastries which is nice to watch. There's also a drum of cold water which is a nice touch. I'd come back if I was in the area.

I've tried to come here a few times, specifically for the Matcha Crepe, but every time I come after work, it's been sold out. Completely understandable since it's near their closing time, but when I was able to make it a bit earlier in the day, I was so excited to see that they still had more Matcha Crepes!! It was everything I hoped for. The matcha crepe was fragrant and pillowy, and the crepe is filled with red bean cream!! The cream is SO GOOD and balances the bitterness of the matcha. Friendly service. It's a pretty big shop with seating in the back. They have so many bread options that I want to explore next time!

Christine G.

Yelp

Their cookies were delicious, but their matcha latte was too sweet. They do not have a large variety of pastries. I had high hopes for this bakery but I left feeling underwhelmed.

Nancy A.

Yelp

Nice silky bread that is very fluffy soft and reminds you of puffy clouds when you put it in your mouth. The bread melts easily into your mouth. Very soft and moist! Not dry at all. No wonder they call it silky bread! Usually when I come here I also get matcha crème bread and they taste so good. But a bit sweet and creamy sometimes. It looks mushy too but the fact that it is matcha is a plus! I love matcha!

Dorothy Y.

Yelp

Takahachi is my go to bakery for birthday and holiday cakes. It's always super cute and with high quality ingredients. You can argue that it's not as refined but I like this neighborhood style. They're so much cheaper than other bakeries that I am willing to buy from. Their matcha mousse cake is my absolute favorite. My brother likes their strawberry shortcake. I'm also happy to have their opera and cassis noir if I'm trying to order multiple small slices. I haven't seen their matcha burrito in a while but that's a fun cake to have too. The only inconvenience is that they don't open on Sundays so I can't arrange it for any Sunday occasions.

Laura H.

Yelp

Disappointing overall. I had high expectations for the matcha parfait, but the cream was a little too greasy and the matcha flavor fell flat from lack of sugar. Yuzu parfait: basically Hmart honey yuzu jam and cream cheese, which is delicious, but not worth $6.50. Matcha drink: a train wreck--no milk and no sugar, just raw bitter matcha. Maybe that's the traditional method, but it was unpalatable to me. The only item I'd get again is the iced hoji tea: refreshing and not overly tannic. I didn't get anything from their selection of breads, but I was told that the mango custard was delicious. Overall, this is a good place to rest up with a cup of tea and maybe a small sweetbread. There's plenty of seating space and it's close enough to the Oculus that you could swing by once in a while.

I found this place through Yelp and it looks like my kind of place so I went today for lunch and a dessert. The lunch was small by American standards but a nice little salad with some fish on top. It was very very good. Then I had a Matcha mousse dessert, which was excellent. Very subtle different textures not sweet. I loved it. I thought it was great. Plus it was beautiful to look at. I'm glad I discovered this place.

I was searching for this place a few years ago before the pandemic and had such a hard time finding it because of the scaffolding. In fact I didn't find it and gave up. Recently my boyfriend recommended it and knew where it was!! So finally got to stop by after visiting the oculus and got some snacks before heading to seaport to hangout. When you walk in there are bread and food in the front. You order drinks by the counter and pay for whatever you grab. There are seats in the back. Got a yuzu tea, sandwich and bun. Everything was easy to eat and honestly perfect rest and light lunch when you are in the area. Definitely recommend it if you are in the area!

Chithra V.

Cute cafe in downtown NYC. Good options in menu for pastries. They are known for Matcha crepes and Yuzu mousse cups. I liked the crepes better. They close early though. The service was good as the guy helped me checkout even after they closed. Definitely try the matcha crepe if you are a matcha fan

I am currently obsessed with Takahachi Bakery, especially the Chicken Katsu Salad. Tribeca is an increasingly expensive neighborhood in New York City, so I'm glad I found a reasonably priced restaurant with delicious food, coffee, and pastries. They have a large selection of sweets! They're known for their matcha desserts, but they also have this amazing puff pastry cone custard - I'm not sure what it's called, but I'm also currently obsessed with it. 4-ish stars.

My go to bakery for a light lunch, decent amount of seating and an assortment of Japanese pastries. I also like that I can get a half sandwich. Tip if you don't see one in the display they can get you one. Today i went with a half tuna with avocado sandwich Ice cherry tea Garden salad with carrot dressing Coconut pastry

Ming M.

Yelp

I cannot believe that it was over 11 years ago that I posted my last review of Takahachi Bakery. Boy how the time passes. Well, I went in there today around 10 am and got a few items for my late breakfast early lunch: half an egg salad sandwich; half tuna sandwich; blueberry danish and squid salad. They didn't have any half sandwiches on display but they will split them up for you if you ask. The egg salad sandwich is truly the best thing you can eat: smooth, creamy, buttery egg salad in between two pieces of fluffy Japanese bread with sliced tomatoes. I was sorry I only got half but I wanted to taste the tuna too. The tuna was just ok, lettuce was crispy in there. The blueberry danish seemed to be actually a kouign-Amann with blueberry filling. It was crispy around the edges and flaky and buttery, and the blueberries flavorful. Very unique. As for the squid salad, they put everything in one bag and the juices leaked out, so I was upset that my pastries might be fishy. But luckily they wrapped everything in plastic. Note to keep the fishy stuff separate.

I had high expectations for Takahachi Bakery but their bread and pastries did not blow me away like I thought they would. Came in here on a weekday before work for some coffee and carbs. I've had my fair share of Japanese breads from amazing Japanese bakeries like Yamazaki or Gakuden in Taiwan and other Asian countries, so I know what fresh bread tastes like. Takahachi Bakery is not it lol. The matcha crepe cake had nothing matcha in the fillings. It was just layers of cream and extremely sweet red bean. As for the danish and mochi anpan, they were equally as underwhelming.

Sally Y.

Yelp

I was looking forward to this bakery and it was sadly a disappointment :( Matcha crepe - nothing special... a crepe with matcha / red bean filling... matcha filling is flavorful but not overpowering. Matcha red bean mochi bun - not bad... Guava cream cheese bread - you can taste the guava and the cheese... nothing note worthy.. Matcha croissant - again, the matcha filling is good. You can taste the matcha but it doesn't over power anything. I would say the cream Consistency is custard like texture. Mango cheese bread - can taste the mango filling ... Tomato basil mozzarella toast - I mean.. just what you would expect from the name.. nothing special ... Overall it's hard to describe because everything was mediocre.. Service is good. The workers are always friendly Relatively big cafe with seatings in the back. I can't say it looks clean, rather just a store that has all the necessary furniture and etc. It hurts me to say... 3/10... :( will not be coming back..

Alvin Z.

Got their shrimp sandwich for a snack and it was amazing. Worth the purchase but sadly didn't get to try their baked goods or cakes/desserts. Definitely would come again to try those out and the service was great! A lot of people were there and overall definitely a place worth to try and come again!

Jim W.

Yelp

Nice little shop. Went after having some lunch and they were full. Saw people having pastries and some eating sandwiches. We got the matcha crepe. Tasty and not too sweet. Coffee and a hot choco to finish off our day.

Ruby C.

Yelp

My go-to aka a lowkey bakery selling japanese-flavored bread, cookies, cakes and coffee. $2-4 for a bun/sandwich makes it a steal in an expensive area like FiDi. You can enjoy the pastries in their decent seating area or simply grab and go. I tried both their savory and sweet buns, everything was fairly good but nth knocked my socks off. I still come back again and again bc of the homey vibe, convenience and affordable pricing. ＊ Matcha Crepe Well even though the crepe was dusted with matcha powder, the matcha flavor was still very mild, nearly invisible. Perhaps the red bean whipped cream was too overpowering. Loved the texture of the crepe tho - thin, airy and soft. It was reasonably priced ($6). If you are a fan of matcha & red bean, you def don't wanna miss this dessert. ***Their items sell out quickly. Make sure you get there early, ideally at noon, if you want more choices.

Yelp

~ Matcha crepe cake (2.5/5) ~ It looks pretty and instagrammable. It's a decent crepe cake, cream is soft and the layers are thin. However there is no matcha flavour at all, all I can taste is the red bean filled cream, so I am quite disappointed. ~ Mentaiko potato bread (3/5) ~ The mentaiko flavour is very subtle, I can barely taste it. But the bread itself is quite decent, with a nice soft and pillowy texture. Will I be back? Maybe I will not come back for the matcha crepe cake, but I may come back for the japanese bread, and they are reasonably priced (given the location).

Mayuka K.

I tried their cake for my birthday for the first time and it was amazing!!! The cake was not too sweet it had amazing matcha flavor. I definitely recommend this place!

Tiffany L.

Yelp

Quick service! Plenty of seats and nice ambiance; it was cool to see the kitchen staff prepping in the back. Would be a great spot to hangout with friends. I would definitely recommend the Yuzu mousse cup and Sakura parfait! The cakes were very soft and the macrons had a good texture! The Sakura and yuzu flavors were definitely present but not overwhelming.

Yelp

Cute & cozy Japanese bakery near the office with the friendliest staff! Takahachi has become both a breakfast AND lunch staple for me. There's a huge variety of bread and pastries available (both sweet and savory), as well as salads, sandwiches, and hot food offerings. The hot food changes daily, but favorites so far include their garlic pasta noodles, gyoza, and the pasta side. All salads have super tasty dressings, and I love how you can opt for the half portion or the full portion. The tuna crossaint here is my all time favorite pastry here - perfectly flaky crossaint, generous and well seasoned tuna, and the perfect little cherry tomato on top. With such a large variety, there are a few items that weren't my favorite: the soba salad (sesame dressing was overwhelming), and the spicy tuna bun (really dry bun and filling). Prices are super reasonable for the area, and makes for an affordable quick lunch option.

Megan L.

Yelp

We need more Japanese bakeries! This bakery was really close to our hotel, so we had to make a stop. Their strawberry cream croissant was so flaky and not too sweet. We also tried one of their crepes, which was also delicious! There are so many good options (sweet and savory) that it was hard to decide what to buy, but I would definitely come back again and try their other things. It was really busy inside the bakery on a random weekday, so I wouldn't say it's necessarily the best place to study.

Lisa L.

Yelp

I love this place. I come here for lunch with a friend pretty often and I would get their tuna salad, their katsu, or the noodles, and their green drink. They have a seating area in the back and in the front and they self dispense water near the register. An efficient place with great offerings and food. The free bread that they usually give out is usually soft as well and tasty, so i would highly recommend this spot.

Shengyu G.

Yelp

It's small but pretty busy. I finally get to try their famous matcha crepe. It is not that big but really good as its reputation. The cream inside is so abundant and not heavy at all. Each bites makes you feel so satisfied. I also tried some matcha pastry with red bean filling (it is made in paw shape). I think the quality of flour they use is very good. I don't like the ones from some Chinese bakery because the bread often stuck in your teeth. Takahachi's products are not like that. I also tried cafe latte and hot chocolate. They are ok but not too impressive. The downside is their products ran out fast. If you go there around 4 pm, not that many pastry option left and the shop is not going to refill them since they close at 6 pm.

Tinesi P.

Yelp

My Sriracha tuna roll was delish!! Loved the texture of the roll, it was a nice balance of soft and crunch. Biggest and only complaint is the cherry ice tea. The tuna roll was $2.50 and my bill came to almost $10 Yes l, I should have asked how much the cherry tea costed but I didn't think it will be that much! AND to make matters worse it tasted watered down!!! Skip the teas and get an ice coffee, cappuccino or something. Service is you picking up what you want and paying at the register. They were friendly enough. And the place has space for you to eat where you are not on top of people ( I also when in the morning so that could have helped). I would definitely go again when I'm in the area and try other things. Would NEVER get their seasonal teas again tho!! Skip if you wise.

Ga Hing C.

I've had this place bookmarked for the longest time ever and finally got a chance to try it. I went around 10am and they didn't have their signature, the matcha crepe. Make sure you go after 12pm if you want to only go for this like I did. As mentioned, I only wanted to try the matcha crepe but everything else looked so good so I ended up getting not one or two, but three pastries! I got the croissant matcha, the taramo (spicy mentaiko and potato), the coronet goma (black sesame) and a matcha latte. Every pastry I had was absolutely delicious. This has definitely become my favorite Japanese bakery. I am sure coming back not only to try their matcha crepe, but to try their other pastries. Highly recommended!

Vivian Z.

Ordered the matcha latte and wasn't the biggest fan as there seemed to be a strange aftertaste. The service is decent and fairly quick. There are some tables in the back to sit and chat or do work.

Adam B.

Yelp

A nice departure from the regular bakeries downtown that have mundane bagels and croissants. Lots of exciting options, some reminiscent of Chinatown bakeries and quite unique lime the Matcha Crêpe. I like that there are also lots of savory meaty options, in case you need a quick lunch bite. Matcha Crêpe: Very unique. A soft doughy crêpe, like those in multilayer crêpe cakes, wrapped all around. Inside is a creamy filling with red beans. Outside, dusted in a bunch of umami green tea powder. A bit messy on your hands and mouth, but worth it. Garlic Sausage Bun: A savory pastry that hit the spot. Flaky dough, almost croissant like. A big ol' hot dog down the middle. And lots of kethcup and garlic sauce. It was better than a hot dog you get from a street vendor, though not served warm. Takahachi Combo Bun: A bit too much going on in this savory pastry. I like the little hot dog bites and sauces. I think the veggies worked, like the peas, which kinda tasted weird and were cold. Mango Custard Bun: A fluffy bun that was almost doughnut-like in texture. Filled with a ton of custard that had a nice subtle mango flavor. If you like creamy, this is for you. Soufflé Cheese Cake: Like a cheesecake, but 3x lighter. Seemed like it was ultra whipped, so quite airy. But the same great baked cheesecake taste as regular cheesecake, so no skimping on quality. A fun texture, when you're feeling dainty.

Tarano (cod) bread, Chocolate coronet, custard coronet, blueberry danish, guava danish, hotdogs, matcha mousse cake (the best) are my favs

Came by on a Friday afternoon around 1:30pm. I got an iced matcha latte, a matcha crepe, and a beef curry pan. The matcha latte had a strong matcha flavor. There wasn't any sugar added. Not sure if there was sugar that you can add in after as I left as soon as I got the order. The matcha crepe had really soft creme inside. However, the filling was too sweet. The crepe itself was thin and coated heavily in matcha powder which was great. I ended up saving the beef curry pan for the next day. Even after being left in the fridge overnight and microwaved the next day, it was so good. The curry flavor was prominent, and there was a good amount of filling. The outside was coated in curry powder and other seasonings. I can't imagine how good it would taste if it was fresh. The prices aren't bad at all for the portion. I'll definitely be back to try other items.

Lily T.

Yelp

Great prices for this area! I don't come often because it's out of my way but if I worked or lived closer, I would be here at least 2x a week! I got a pork Katsu sandwich during lunch hours and it was under $9! Unheard of in tribeca area. They have seating areas and lots of freshly baked goods for order everyday. Cute spot to catch up on coffee if have a quick meal. It's mainly self serve but everyone who works there is super nice!

James W.

Yelp

They should really update the prices on the menu board. They charged me $4 when the board (written in chalk) says $3.75. It has been like this for months, and despite me telling them numerous times that the prices need to be updated, it remains $3.75 on the board. The bread and pastries aren't anything to write home about. They're also a bit overpriced compared to what you would pay at Fay Da Bakery. Bread and pastries are between $3-5 and the sandwiches and hot food are between $6-10. The French Fries in their hot lunch boxes are always soggy. The only thing that is actually pretty good is the iced coffee and the egg salad sandwich, but they're always sold out of the egg salad sandwich by the afternoon. There is also a separate section of days old bread that they're trying to offload at a significant discount. It is such a pet peeve of mine when the price on the menu is cheaper than what is actually charged. And, it's for this reason that I wouldn't come back. If they are deceitful about something basic like the price of coffee, what else are they lying about?

Takahachi Bakery is a Japanese bakery shop that offers various coffee and tea, as well as their baked pastries, sandwiches, and desserts. We came here in the early afternoon, and there was already a long line that had formed. Don't forget to grab a tray and a set of tongs so you can grab while you continue going through the line. We ordered: +a Japanese egg salad roll +a Beef Curry Cheese +a Tuna Tomato pastry +a Salmon Roe roll +a Matcha bread +a pack of Miso Almond cookies Out of all of these, the hubs scarfed down the egg salad roll - he stated it was one of the best versions he's had. The roll was soft and fluffy, and the egg salad was dressed just right. We both really enjoyed the Beef Curry Cheese, as it was cheesy and super savory with the curry filling - YUM! Make sure you request this to be warmed up, but I wished it was more temperature hot! Staff here are so kind and friendly. There are a handful of tables for those who want to dine in, but most seem to get their items to go. I also feel like the staff should check on the bathroom occasionally, as it ran out of TP. +Beef Curry Cheese roll +friendly staff +limited seating inside

Yelp

One of the best gifts or souvenirs from NYC would be cookies from this bakery. After snarfing our pastries which were also excellent and perfect in every way, we bought two more packs of cookies to take back home. We savored each cookie with gratitude and a tall glass of milk. I didn't get to try the famous matcha pillow cream cake or the layer cakes, so there's more reason to come back and try those too!

Cristina L.

Yelp

Finally made it to this spot. It's close to the nail salon I go to at John st. So, the prices are steep but it doesn't really matter as long as it taste good. The egg sandwich was pretty good and I'm not a fan of eating egg sandwich. I really enjoyed the tuna sandwich I got. The match crepe was a good desert. It's not too sweet and just enough creme. Overall, I'll come back again to get some bake goods.

Bo K.

Yelp

Cute Japanese-style bakery with cozy vibes, almost feels like you stepped out of the bustling city and into another country. My cousin really wanted to stop by for a midday treat so we popped in for the popular matcha crepe roll. As others have stated, it is small. Like a couple bites, small. It's filled with cream and red bean paste, a classic combination. We liked it but it wasn't much to rave about, honestly. We also got some mochi an pans to go and they were alright as well. There is limited seating inside but I think if you're meeting a friend for a chat and want a little treat and/or drink, this could be a good spot.

Meghna S.

Yelp

Found my North Star... the perfect bakery in the city. I have visited this place several times in last few months and loved it each time. Be it the salmon sandwich, tuna tataki salad, soup of the day, coffee, croissants, matcha crepes, yuzu pudding or sweet red bean paste filled in a bun to name a few. I feel like a kid in a candy shop finding it difficult to narrow down my options‍ My friend got strawberry cake for my bday cake from the same place and no surprises here that I loved it. The place is pretty cute, staff is always generous, very reasonably priced and usually busy during breakfast and lunch hours. I'm almost obsessed with my latest find and it's a must visit whenever I go to my workplace downtown.

Stephanie C.

Tried a bunch of things. Wasn't that fond of the matcha crepe actually - it was too much cream for me personally. But we liked the yuzu cookies, the guava cheese pastry, and the basic red bean bun.

I am sorry but I really expected more from them. The price, the size of cake, freshness, and quality did not make sense to me. I wanted the chocolate cake available least.

I went to Takahachi Bakery an hour before closing and a lot of items were already gone. However I ended up choosing something sweet, the strawberry cake cup and my friend got the ham scallion bun. The service was fast and the cashier was friendly. The strawberry cake cup had a lot of cream and was not too sweet. The cake was fluffy. The strawberry cake cup was super light, however I wish there was more cake than cream. The ham scallion bun was fluffy and was super tasty with the combination of mayo and scallions. I highly recommend getting the bread as they taste fresh despite sitting out for hours!

Still think this place is very special after first visit many years ago. Still finding new pastries good and blown away! The latest are the amazing yuzu cookies!!! The yuzu flavor is subtle and bright, the texture of the cookie is like butter cookie. It's not too sweet. It's half dipped in white chocolate. I typically don't like white chocolate but in this case it pairs well together. I feel like it's a great treat to yo'self / or maybe a small gift with holiday card for Christmas (because not going to bake any from scratch haha)

Takahachi Bakery is the place to go if you're looking for Japanese style desserts. I was super excited to check this place out after seeing so many Insta stories about this place. I got the... Smoked salmon sandwich - 2/5. The sandwich was a good concept but I don't think it was well executed. The salmon and tomatoes were pungent and the big cut of cream cheese in there was not my favorite. This sandwich may be for people with an acquired taste. Matcha crepe - 3/5. It was alright. Definitely smaller than I expected and tasted pretty standard crepe with red bean and cream filling. I wouldn't get it again Red bean flower bread -4/5. I don't remember the name of this bread but it looked like a flower with red bean filled petals. This one was pretty good. Overall, this experience was not as expected but I'm willing to give it a second chance! They have so many interesting cookies, breads, cakes and desserts. Hope to try those another time!

Bought the matcha green tea cake for my wife's 48th bday and it did not disappoint. Had to order it in advance and the lady whom I spoke with was very accommodating. Definitely go back to buy more delicious treats!

Their cookies were delicious, but their matcha latte was too sweet. They do not have a large variety of pastries. I had high hopes for this bakery but I left feeling underwhelmed.

Ordered the matcha latte and wasn't the biggest fan as there seemed to be a strange aftertaste. The service is decent and fairly quick. There are some tables in the back to sit and chat or do work.

Tried a bunch of things. Wasn't that fond of the matcha crepe actually - it was too much cream for me personally. But we liked the yuzu cookies, the guava cheese pastry, and the basic red bean bun.

Ordered cake for my birthday for pick up and the process was easy. I called to put in my order and the cake was ready on time. Someone even called me to let me know that the cake is ready.
