New Tokyo Take-out - Redondo Beach

I discovered that this bakery is smaller than I had anticipated, but it does provide both indoor and outdoor seating. The bread and pastries were visually appealing, and I couldn't resist trying two different types of bread. Both were delightful, particularly the chocolate brioche. I really wish I lived nearby!

I truly love this gluten-free bakery, which also has some vegan choices. The baked goods are incredibly soft and moist, distinguishing them from many other gluten-free breads. They remind me of the delightful Japanese pastries I used to savor before I developed a wheat allergy. My favorites are the chocolate brioche and the French toast topped with banana and Nutella. Even my friend, who doesn't have to avoid gluten, enjoyed them and wants to come back with me. Everything here is simply delicious!

Kirari West Bakeshop has a café-like vibe, serving coffee, baked goods, toasts, and sandwiches. However, it was disappointing to find that they don't offer croissants, which I was eager to try. Instead, I sampled a chocolate brioche and a cheese bun with ham. Both were satisfying but not particularly memorable. The ambiance is simple and casual, with seating options available indoors and outdoors.

The Cinnamon Custard Brioche has a moist spongy consistency. The cinnamon custard is tasty and really compliments the brioche. The Blueberry Scone doesn't have a normal scone texture; it's more like a dense drier muffin. The blueberries are plentiful and good. The sweetness of this scone is comparable to a regular one and this is my favorite of the three. The Vegan Brownie with Raspberry's texture is fudgy and starts off smooth but finishes with a slight graininess. It has delightful chocolatey flavor but, at times, it seems to compete with the prominent raspberry flavor. I just started eating gluten-free so my taste buds are still tainted by the original versions but I believe all three of these were worth my money! I would definitely return.

This was easily the best gluten-free bakery I’ve visited. Not only was everything GF, but everything either looked delicious or was delicious itself. Truly spectacular.
