Lovely cafe! We stumbled upon this place and were so glad we came. Friendly staff, food was reasonably priced, clean environment and food was delicious! We enjoyed our food in their outdoor seating area – ordered a miso cha shiu salad, Brio Brio BLT sandwich, a chai latte and a regular latte. Cha shiu salad had so much flavor and different textures (veggies, tofu, meat and quinoa). BLT was very filling – loved how they used grilled tomatoes. The sandwich was slightly warm, unlike most other BLT and I like that. Chai latte wasn’t too sweet. Overall a 5 star experience!

A very nice place, with pretty good food. It has a convenient outdoor patio where you can bring your dog (they even have water bowls set up outside). The bakery items are a mix of traditional Japanese offerings and fusion mix with English and perhaps French influences.

Great authentic Japanese bakery with a wonderful selection of freshly baked items, sandwiches, salads, coffee, and tea. My clients from Japan said this bakery is the closest to the bakeries from Tokyo, Japan.

They serve alcohol now! It is a very clean, tasty, and authentic Japanese eatery. As a local, I am proud to support a small business owner who works so diligently to ensure the best experience for her guests. Looking forward to returning soon.

Fantastic café that serves as a great option for breakfast or lunch. They have a number of interesting entrees to choose from, plus a variety of intriguing pastries and baked goods. The environment is great too – there’s plenty of space to take a seat inside in the dining room or outside on the shaded patio. Friendly service as well. One of the best breakfast spots in the area!

My friend strongly recommended, so I tried for Saturday brunch. Super tasteful with fresh and selected ingredients. Unit price seems high, but such yummy taste deserves it. Totally enjoyed meal, so I got to-go buns at end. Can’t wait trying them out at home!!

Brio Brio has warm and cozy environment, it gets very crowded during lunch time. Their sandwich tastes very delicious and fresh. Just wish if their outdoor seating was covered properly in case of rain.

Amazing options- from this Japanese, French, American, fusion bakery/restaurant. With so many delicious options from savory to sweet, you can’t go wrong. Don’t be intimidated by the menu. If you are curious about what Hojicha is; it has a delicious, smooth roasted flavor with sweet notes. Think of what basic vanilla is but now with a touch of soul. I won’t lie I usually drink this at home. So this is truly my favorite indulgence when I come here. Oh, and the brownies were a hit for my son’s teacher. The gluten-free lemon poppy seed cake is SO GOOD! Come show this place some love!
