Bakery

WA-IRO

Old Town Pasadena, Pasadena, CA 📍 Maps

This Japanese bakery and cafe specializes in light, fluffy pastries made with imported Hokkaido flour and Kyoto matcha. The space features a minimal yet warm atmosphere with simple wooden seating, though most visitors opt to grab their treats to go. Regulars know to arrive early in the morning when the scent of fresh-baked bread drifts down Raymond Avenue and the display cases are fully stocked.

★ The Legend
Salt & Butter Roll
This signature shio pan is crafted with imported Hokkaido flour and high-quality butter, resulting in an incredibly light and fluffy interior. Regulars love the contrast of the flaky sea salt on top and the slightly crispy, buttery bottom crust.
◆ Fan Favorite
Honey Butter Toast
This sweet pastry features a thick slice of fluffy bread filled with rich butter and sweet red bean paste. Regulars always pair it with a hot espresso drink or a matcha latte to balance the deep sweetness of the red bean.
◇ Hidden Gem
Shu Mai Bun
Most visitors walk right past the savory section in search of sweet pastries, but regulars head straight for this unique fusion creation. It wraps a savory, seasoned pork shu mai filling inside the bakery's signature light and airy dough.
Insider Tip

Pair your pastries with the banana cream matcha latte, which balances the earthy bitterness of Kyoto matcha with a velvety, sweet banana cream top. If you prefer savory options, skip the pre-made sandwiches and grab the warm Japanini, which features a refreshing combination of basil, tomato, and melted cheese.
