Very good selection of gluten free sandwiches. Amazing cakes, tarts, cookies. Tried their signature Blue Moon Cheesecake, burst of blueberry flavor in the center. Definitely recommend for gluten-free diet friends.
Pro: The pastries are delicious. Matcha latte is great.Con: their turkey sandwich isn't good. The turkey is probably not the best quality. Tastes more like subway turkey. The avocado toast is tasteless. Unless you keep the pickled onion on the avocado toast you will have some flavor. The avocado looks like it gets spread from a frosting bag.From my understanding they're don't use organic ingredients .Bottom line. Come for the pastries that's it.
Kirari West Bakeshop is more like a cafe, it serves up coffee, baked goods, toasts and sandwiches, anything but croissants, which is what I was actually looking for.I got two pieces of pastries anyway, the chocolate brioche and a cheese bun with ham. Both items are fine, I enjoyed them but they weren't anything special. The shop has a no-frills vibe, with some seatings both inside and outside.
Love love LOVE this gluten free (and some are vegan) bakery. They are soft and moist unlike many other gluten free bread, and remind me of Japanese pastries I used to have in Japan (prior to my wheat allergy). My favorite is their chocolate brioche and French toast with banana and Nutella. Even my Gluten tolerant friend enjoyed them and wants to go back there with me. So good?
Love this place. Somehow their pricing is on par with any other cafe but their kitchen and products are 100% gluten free.Portion sizes are good, and they have a nice selection of teas and coffee.If I had to nitpick, they do lean a bit heavily on meats and dairy. They could probably do to cut back on the amount of meat in their sandwiches and maybe make a few options that don't have dairy by default. Nothing to detract stars for though.
This bakery was smaller than I thought, but there is some indoor/outdoor seating. Their bread and pastries looked all appealing and I got two kinds of bread. Both were delicious especially the chocolate brioche. I wish I lived here.
I gave Kirari many chances but it's still not living up to the rating... Their Latte, Turkey Egg Melt and other pastries were just okay...Also, they do NOT provide free WiFi anymore. They do have charging outlets available if you are planning to stay for a while to work.
The Cinnamon Custard Brioche has a moist spongy consistency. The cinnamon custard is tasty and really compliments the brioche.The Blueberry Scone doesn't have a normal scone texture; it's more like a dense drier muffin. The blueberries are plentiful and good. The sweetness of this scone is comparable to a regular one and this is my favorite of the three.The Vegan Brownie with Raspberry's texture is fudgy and starts off smooth but finishes with a slight graininess. It has delightful chocolatey flavor but, at times, it seems to compete with the prominent raspberry flavor.I just started eating gluten-free so my taste buds are still tainted by the original versions but I believe all three of these were worth my money! I would definitely return.
Everything is delicious!!! Visited on vacation recently and it was so good we had to come back every day of our trip. Everything is entirely gluten free and even my non-celiac friend agreed that all the items we tried tasted amazing. The chocolate and almond brioches were some of my favorites, but everything was so yummy I can’t wait to go back someday!
Enjoyed the vibe here. Really tasty house espresso blend that I'd come back for. My partner had the matcha latte, which was made with actual matcha and not the terrible sugary soluble stuff stirred into hot milk you get elsewhere.Care was taken making the cakes and breads, and they sell their own bread mixes to make at home. Lovely place, but be prepared to wait as it's usually very busy! Worth it though ;)
