Upon entering, one would find a nice old Japanese lady greeting you in her limited mandarin. That's the (grand)mama, and this is her bakery.

Located at the second floor of Novena Square Two, this Japanese place sticks out in a surrounding of mostly Korean themed outlets.

I have tried the popular chocolate bread and the coffee but they do not excite me as much and I cannot see how the bakery here stands out from the rest of the common street bakeries that one would find in Singapore. However, the one area where it does stand out is that the place offers a nice patio where one can sit and chill if the weather permits - a great way to spend a Saturday morning.

Service is inconsistent. Other than the cheerful mama, many of the other staff look lost at times.
