About a 1 1.5: Sorry, Pastry House Hippo it's you, not me.This bakery nestled inside Mitsuwa has always been one of my pit stops during my Chicago visits. My go to has always been the warm hot dog bread, the UFO, and the apple shaped bread.Unfortunately, these items just do not taste the same the hot dog bread, which I usually retriever from the warmer, has a sickly sour, off putting odor to them; I also feel like it made me sick this time around. The UFO was deflated and didn't contain much of the yummy and creamy custard inside, but rather cold chunks of it. The breads just did not taste fresh, as they seemed more on the stale side, cold, and were like leftovers from days prior.Staff are f...
Absolutely delicious! If you want the best selection, especially on weekends, make sure to arrive early! They tend to sell out quickly, particularly the amazing fruit salad sandwiches! This time, we tried a few different pastries, including a mayo one (not my favorite) and a red bean and melon pan with raisins (definitely my favorite!). The pastries range in price from about $2.40 to $4.50, depending on their size and filling. You can find these treats at Mitsuwa Shopping Centre, located in the grocery store next to the coolers, not in the food court.
I wish I live closer to this place. Croissant bread is heaven...followed closely by the Japanese milk bread. I always get the coffee cream bun. I Love that all their desserts are not overly sweet and the frosting is light as air. I wish they had a chicago location. But for now I'll gladly suffer being stuck in traffic if it means I get to eat their pastries.
super cute bakery with a ton of bread options cake/other pastry options at the check out! area can get a little small/cramped when busy but they have it set up very nicely so its not too overwhelming. near the end of the day they discount some of the goods, the lady checking us out was also very nice!

Take a tray and some tongs, and make your way down the aisle to choose your favorite treats. The bread here is incredibly soft—definitely grab a loaf! The pastries are also delightful, and the kids will especially love the one that has a panda face. Enjoy!
My friend introduced me to this place. I tried the milk bread, and I really enjoyed it. I highly recommend the milk bread. I had no idea that this place existed until my friend told me about it. I am going to come back and try other bakery items.
I've been coming here for a few years and everything I've tried is absolutely delicious! I've tasted every item on the menu and haven't found a single one I didn't enjoy. I highly recommend the chocolate croissant and the UFOs!
I absolutely adore this bakery! If you're looking for fresh, charming, and delicious pastries, this is the place to be. They also offer a selection of pre-made hot and cold sandwiches, perfect for a quick lunch.

The bakery is simply amazing. In any case go early to avoid the crowds during lunch and weekends.
I absolutely love the hotdogs, and the customer service is excellent!
