Brio Brio Bakery & Cafe

“Brio Brio Bakery & Café is, without a doubt, the best Japanese bakery in town. They offer an impressive variety of goods and pastries, each more delightful than the last. Their coffee is also quite good, pairing perfectly with the baked treats. The eating environment is clean and well-maintained, which is always a plus. One thing I noticed was the strong smell of food, reminiscent of a Chinese restaurant, which might be overwhelming for some. Overall, a great place for anyone looking to enjoy quality Japanese baked goods.

I recently had the pleasure of visiting Brio Brio Bakery and Cafe for breakfast, and I must say, it was a truly delightful experience! From the moment I stepped through the door, I was greeted with a warm and inviting atmosphere that set the stage for a memorable morning. One of the highlights of my visit was the BNHI Mi Chicken Sandwich I ordered. It was a perfect blend of flavors and textures. The juicy chicken, accompanied by fresh vegetables and a delectable sauce, was sandwiched between a soft and crusty bun. Each bite was a burst of deliciousness that left me craving more. To complement my meal, I decided to try their Hot Vanilla Latte. Let me tell you, it was a game-changer! The velvety smoothness of the vanilla combined with the perfect amount of steamed milk created a heavenly beverage that warmed both my hands and my soul. It was the ideal companion to my breakfast and added an extra touch of indulgence to the overall experience. But that's not all! Brio Brio Bakery and Cafe surprised me with their Curry Buns. This unique twist on a classic side dish was a true revelation. It was a delightful departure from the ordinary and showcased the cafe's commitment to offering innovative and delicious options. Beyond the delectable food and beverages, the service at Brio Brio Bakery and Cafe was exceptional. The staff members were friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable. They took the time to ensure that every aspect of my visit was enjoyable and that all my needs were met. The cozy and inviting ambiance of the cafe provided the perfect setting for a relaxing breakfast. The charming decor, combined with the aroma of freshly baked goods, created an atmosphere that made me feel right at home. It was a wonderful escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Overall, my experience at Brio Brio Bakery and Cafe was nothing short of exceptional. The BNHI Mi Chicken Sandwich, Hot Vanilla Latte, and Curry Buns were all outstanding in taste and presentation. The attentive service and cozy ambiance added to the overall enjoyment of my visit. I highly recommend Brio Brio Bakery and Cafe to anyone in search of a delightful breakfast spot. It truly deserves a well-deserved five-star rating!

I found out Bri Baru Japanese Izakaya style dining via Instagram, so I came and give it a try. First I think the Izakaya-style needs to be noted…smaller portions (like Spanish tapa) but their food is not the traditional kind. I feel it’s a modern fusion (like Nakiryu in Tokyo), not like the very traditional Japanese Izakaya ones. And of course there are plenty of alcoholic beverages and non alcoholic ones. The place is clean with Individual backless stool chairs on one side and long bench style seating on the other. Outdoor seating is available, beautifully decorated. It is a bakery from 8am-3pm and then Wed-Sun from 5-9pm becomes the Izakaya cafe. We had Japanese fish (Aji/jack mackerel) & chips, wagyu dan dan udon noodles, half size premium beef Don and half Mt. Fuji Caesar Salad. My husband also had a wagyu beef taco, but I didn’t have any because it was a little spicy than my preference. All had that clean and flavor tastes, very good. The dan dan noodle description says spicy but it was not at all. I only wish they’d give me a spoon so I could have noodles with the the minced meat and creamy soup together. It is not cheap because it is a place that focuses on high quality ingredients (quality > quantity). I would go back try other small dishes as well as their daytime menu.

The hojicha latte $6 made me melt! It’s my favorite latte yet. I bought a shokupan $17 for a friend. I love the large windows and the layout of the whole place. The service was incredibly kind and warm - they are a place with character! Thank you for the time I got to spend here studying! Cannot wait to come here again! This appears to be a favorite place for moms too which goes to show how cute this cafe is.

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. One stand out is their cheesecake - it is excellent, and is a 5/5. They also have an small, but eclectic offering of craft beers. The food is a bit pricey, perhaps more than one would expect. The staff are exceptional, with a traditional Japanese customer service attitude. Overall a nice place to come for breakfast or brunch.
