Okayama Kobo Bakery & Cafe, 155 W Center Street Promenade, Anaheim, CA 92805, Score: 42/50
Okayama Kobo Bakery, which has a location in Japan, opened in Anaheim last December. They make their baked goods with 100% Hokkaido flour. The Japanese flour gives their pastries and bread a lighter texture. The bread is handmade, additive and preservative free, and baked fresh daily.
Score: 42/50
Food: 4/5 – It’s not my favorite Japanese bakery but the pastries are good. I recommend the salt & butter rolls – the light, airy quality of the dough is evident and the crust has a light crunch. They have baked donuts, French toast, sweet and savory buns, croissants, and sandwiches.
Coffee: 4/5 – I didn’t have any but they have espresso drinks. They use Groundwork Organic coffee which is local and decent. I like the imported Kimino Yuzu soda – it’s like lemonade and not that sweet.
Wi-fi: 5/5 – Free, secure, unlimited. Ask for the password.
Ambiance: 5/5 – Super adorable in a Japanese way. Look for the giant hanging baguette outside the shop. They worked with a local artist to come up with adorable mugs and stickers.
Noise: 5/5 – The music was calming. Customers were quiet.
Plugs: 3/5 – There are a few outlets
Parking: 4/5 – Two hour free parking in the parking structure with validation. Free 90 minute street parking if you can find it.
Comfort: 3/5 – The metal stools aren’t comfortable and the tables are pretty small.
Bathroom: 4/5 – One restroom, nicely decorated
Art: 5/5 – They collaborate with artists.
Tips: They also own the beer place, so you can sit in there too (it’s connected to the bakery). Prices are surprisingly reasonable.

Spicy Niffler Curry at the Wizarding World Cafe, Tokyo
ドミノのつけカレーパン // Domino’s Japan - Dipping Curry Pan Interesting side menu item. Aside from the cognitive dissonance of using American pizza as naan to eat Japanese curry, it was pretty good! You can also swap the curry for corn soup (of course...), minestrone, “black chili,” or clam chowder.
Went to Togoshi Ginza Shotengai once again after voting for the Brazilian elections here in Japan. Great crispy and squishy kare pan (curry bread) to warm this dark and cold Sunday. Wishing a good Monday for everyone!
