It's not my favorite bakery in Little Tokyo and I'd rather get Yamazaki's nikuman and as Cafe Dulce's name implies, they have a wider range and are more known for their sweet pastries (not saying that they don't have non-sweet things). They're almost always a part of the huge collaborations that Little Tokyo has, think the Hoyo slop stuff or the crazy Silent Hill one. Lots of art on their windows and they usually have a collab drink or something. Just know that depending on how popular the collab is, and even if it isn't, this place has lines out the door and is quite fisted. Tables in front are always full of people. Drinks are hit and miss. Every latte I've gotten, even with mixing is grainy sweet coffee slop and the matcha isn't too great either (way better options in the area), but if you have a sweet tooth for pastries it's not too bad. Decadent cream donuts, mochi donuts, savory sausage donuts, and creme brulee ones too. Shareable, but something I'd need to down with milk or some water.

She took me here. The place was very clean and tidy with a lot of different types of sweet treats. I was there for one thing only. I did ask the gal working if they were made that day and she said yes. We ordered a raspberry, an orange, a coffee bean and the popular mango. This was my 2nd time trying these and our hopes were high BUT the raspberry was just awful the filling was strange and it had just raspberry jam inside,I dint eat it. The mango was okay so we shared that. The coffee bean was just awful as well so we didn't finish that either. The orange was the best of the group but overall just a disappointing experience once again because these are not cheap. I'm starting to think I might just have to give up my journey to find these although there are some places in Vegas that look promising. I don't think Reno has any bakeries that make these. They look so beautiful but the taste is a let down.

When I arrived, there were only a few mochi in the refrigerator, and the display looked sparse, almost as if only a few were left. The mochi I saw also looked quite different from the photo. I asked whether they had any others, and an employee told me they had been flash frozen and were in the freezer. She brought one out for me. I asked, "Was this made today?" and was told yes, so I bought it. I was very disappointed when I got home and cut it in half. I understand that a handmade dessert won't look exactly like a photo, but this was far from what I had expected. I called the bakery to explain my concern. The person I spoke with did not let me finish explaining and insisted, "That could never happen." She also asked why I was saying that and told me to bring the mochi back. I had gone out of my way to visit early that morning, so being told to make another trip was frustrating. The phone conversation left me more upset than the mochi itself. This was my second visit. I had also had a disappointing experience with a green onion or garlic bread on my first visit, but the Instagram photo made me want to give the bakery another chance. Unfortunately, I left disappointed again. I've attached photos so others can see the mochi I received. 인스타에서 과일 모찌 사진을 보고 너무 먹어보고 싶어서 오늘 아침 8시 9분에 COIN DE RUE Bakery & Cafe에 찾아갔다. 그런데 냉장고에는 모찌가 몇 개밖에 없었다. 진열된 모습도 꼭 며칠 팔다 남은 것처럼 보여서 그때부터 살짝 싸했다. 사진에서 본 모찌와 모양도 많이 달랐다. 다른 모찌는 없냐고 물으니 급냉해서 냉동고에 있다며 꺼내주셨다. "오늘 만든 거예요?" 하고 여쭤보니 그렇다고 하셔서 일단 사 왔다. 그런데 반으로 잘라보는 순간... 실망, 대실망! 아주 그냥 실망실망 대실망이었다. 가게에 전화해서 설명하려는데 내 말은 끝까지 듣지도 않으시고 "절대 그럴 일이 없다", "왜 그러냐", "가지고 오라"는 말씀만 하시더라. 아침 일찍 일부러 찾아가서 산 건데, 이걸 바꾸려고 내가 다시 거기까지 가야 하나? 모찌도 아쉬웠지만 전화 응대 때문에 더 속상했다. 이번이 두 번째 방문인데, 첫 방문 때도 대파빵인가 마늘빵인가를 샀다가 별로 좋지 않은 기억이 있었다. 이번에는 인스타 사진을 보고 기대하며 다시 가본 건데... 완전 대대대실망! 이제 인스타 사진만 보고 달려가서 사지는 말아야겠다. 아침부터 괜히 기분만 상했네~
