Aki Boulanger

This is a self-described franco-japanese pastry shop and bakery. The items here are reminiscent of what you find in Tokyo - meaning they are wonderfully japanized cakes and fine pastries such as matcha-flavored pastries and the classic doruyaki or sweet red bean cakes. One of the classics here is the matcha-millefeuille which is exactly what the name implies: a classic millefeuille whose cream layers have been flavored with matcha tea. The lunch crowd gets pretty crazy here as they also offer some savory selections like tonkatsu sandwiches for the surrounding office workers who don't have time to eat at their restaurant across the street. Another treat they have here for Japanica lovers is Calpico, the yogurt flavored soft drink. It pairs perfectly with that matcha Millefeuille chased by a doruyaki.
