Universal Bakes & Cafe is a cute, fully vegan bakery offering an enticing array of baked goods that will make you want to try one of everything. You’ll find vegan croissants, sweet red bean paste-filled buns, apple crumble toast, and more. One of their most popular items is the French toast topped with a scoop of vegan ice cream, served in a cast iron skillet for 990 yen.
I got the delicious curry bun, which has a crispy outer layer, soft bread and rich curry fillings.
While the bakery has limited seatings, the outdoor area allows you to enjoy your treats while facing a serene neighbourhood street. Just be aware that to dine in, you'll need to order a drink along with your baked item.
