What User doesn't like about Universal Bakes And Cafe:
Good place to visit if you're in the area. We tried 4 different savoury things and found all 4 to be a little lacking. They were definitely not bad, just not amazing. We felt the price for the baked goods was good, the price of drinks was expensive (but fairly comparable to other places in Japan). Good to have the option, however we would not return as there are other options. View all feedback. What User likes about Universal Bakes And Cafe:
I hear earlier is better if you want a wider selection. Indeed, I came at 9 on a Thursday and left with a big bag of a huge variety of breads and pastries. The lovely neighborhood bakery welcomed me a block away with intoxicating smells, and the staff was helpful and delightful. The food is divine. View all feedback.

My first vegan baked good from an establishment (not homemade)! It was really delicious and I’m definitely going again on my next trip to Shimokitazawa!
