The Loaf Japanese Bakery & Cafe — Restaurant in Santa Clarita

Cutest shop ever! They have pastries and bread on their counters. Drinks are in front of the register. They also sell spreads! I will go back for those.

French toast: take it home and warm it up for just 5-10 seconds!

S’mores puff pastry- I warmed it up and softened the marshmallow. The pull with the puff pastry was perfect!

Chocolate bread character- chocolate isn’t too sweet! It’s fluffy!

Custard bread character - could’ve used a bit more cream but still delicious!

Cube croissant- lots of layers and the cream was unique! Very good! I also love the look of it.

Sunrise: sweetness was perfect!

Match mochi: fluffy bread!

Price: it is a bit higher than most bakeries. It’s a spot to at least try once or come for your favorite pastries/bread!

Parking: parking garage is right next to the bakery! Call them if you cannot find it. If you’re looking for parking on the streets, it’ll be difficult!

Hours: their opening hours are pretty short so check before you go in case...

I've come back here a few times and tried different breads and lattes and they're all excellent quality, taste, and flavor. They have some of the best curry pan. It's so soft and fluffy yet crunchy, and the curry had a good flavor which isn't overwhelming and I like the vegetables in the curry. Japini had for breakfast and the flavor was so good. Don't know if it was the pesto, the cheese, the bread, the meat, the seaside, but it kept me wanting more. The caramel latte is a solid latte and not extremely sweet. The matcha latte is strong in the matcha flavor that blends well with the latte - in a good way that isn't a powdery dry coffee. Definitely a great find.

It's easy to get to front the south side parking structure. Just walk to the 1st floor north exit past all the electric charging stations and it's around the corner...

Hubba hubba! I love pastries - make them kawaii too and I'll be racing there! This bakery got put into my Yelp feed and it was an amazing recommendation - what a local gem! I never knew this place existed! The only con is that parking can be dicey as it's street parking only. Lovely assortment of pastries, both sweet and savory, and very light and tasty too! They also sell cold brew coffee in jugs to go and an assortment of jams. Prices are comparable to 85C Bakery (expect each pastry to be about $3.75 a piece) . On a Friday afternoon, there wasn't much of a wait. I was in and out in 5 minutes with a yummy box of goodies!

**Edit: came back again and found there is a free parking structure behind the shopping complex! Plenty of free...
