Very good... Loved the Straight Outta Japan -- matcha / black sesame swirl, Mochi, red beans... But $7 for this thing is a bit overpriced IMO.
The food is gorgeously presented. Go with a recommended tea...white peony was lovely, red bean soup was earthy and rich. This tip sounds so tacky but believe it!
Try this East Village Japanese restaurant. Order the house-made white bread, generously sliced and spiked with tea smoked salmon or red bean butter. Read more.
Japanese breakfast options like milk toast with red bean paste and lunch sets featuring karaage fried chicken. For dinner order the curry which is made in-house.
Azuki toast (red bean & cream cheese) is delicious! They have non-dairy milks as well. No laptops policy
Their red bean danish is one of the best danish's I've tasted and don't get me started on that strawberry shortcake with the whip cream frosting... Amazing <3
They don't have those fried sesame balls with red bean paste inside :( But everything else was really good - I would recommend sticking with the Chinese pastries, not the Western ones.
