Reviews of Arai Pastry (Bakery)

Lisa Mason

I come here any time I visit my parents. This place has awesome cakes. My mom likes the earl grey cake, my son loves the green tea cake, I always get the tiramisu shake. It's just a tiny little bakery with an amazing pastry chef who obviously loves what he does.

Valerie Desiree

Kind and courteous service. And beautiful cakes.

Pitcha S.

Yummy custard cake with whipped cream in cup!

Tim Areja

The only place I know of around here that has Japanese style bread. Soft and fluffy. Their cakes and pastries are also very good, the only set back is that they sell out very fast. Japanese flavor profile goods using French baking techniques, exceptional products in my opinion.

Margo Marcinkowski

just... just go there early, get a fresh cream bun, and thank me later.

I love their pastry so much we got our wedding cake there, everyone loved it!

Steven Gerner

The pastries and cakes have a great balance: not overpoweringly sweet. Friendly service and good presentation. Decor and seating have some opportunities to improve.

Tyler Eike

The Father and Son that run the store are fantastic. I always buy the best Pan and Sukiyaki beef there! Utmost appreciation to their detailed service!

Roland Ho Jr.

Leyla Barchett

I purchased one slice of five different cakes and none of them tasted good.

This place has the best cakes and breads. I always buy as many curry pan and I can when I go there. The staff there is also very friendly!

Cyle Honyaktewa

Pastries were delicious! Tried their iced coffee and it was incredibly smooth. Service was great as well. Will definitely return!

Christopher Karki

Best Japanese bakery in town..actually just bakery in general. If you dont like overly sweetened cake then you need to come try this place...you van order whole custom cakes or just come in for a piece of cake or bread

John Chan

Delicious cakes but it's pretty pricey for what you get

Ivan Lukovnikov

Perfect cakes. We came on Sunday at 5pm and everything was super-fresh - great dedication to the quality!

(Translated by Google) Anpan, curry bread and melon bread are all Japanese bread. The bread with moist dough is also recommended. (Original) あんぱん、カレーパン、メロンパン、全て日本のパンです。 生地がしっとりの食パンもおススメです。

I love this pastry shop. They have an-pan, melon-pan and curry-pan to make the few. They are not too sweet or overbearing in spice or taste. It brings back me to a time when I was in Japan and ate same ones there. Also they make Christmas cake in a true Japanese style. Starting in December, they start taking orders for 6, 8 or 10inch cakes. If you have been in Japan around Christmas, you will see this all over they place. Either you can buy premade or in this case, Arizona you will have to place an order to pick it up. It's expensive but it is well worth the price for great taste and to have Japanese style Christmas celebration.

Macie Chase

Really authentic and delicious Japanese baked goods! The buns are so good and remind me of bakers in Japan! ❤

Louise Nugent

Awesome people and food!

annie clark

tastes of real japanese pastry--texture before sweetness. the only tragedy of this store I ever found last time I went was that they are not opened for too many hours and days. hope they make it big.

Barbara O'Connor

I really like their strawberry cake!

Alan Hudson

Cute little place, the staff are always welcoming and friendly. Really great to find handmade Japanese traditional pastries and other treats. They also brew coffee and tea and have an adorable seating arrangement. You absolutely have to take home a loaf of their bread, especially the butter-rich loaf, it'll change your life!

Patti Cooper

This place is amazing you will never find a place that makes better cake. I never eat cake because I'm a cake decorator, unless I stop here.

An Authentic Japanese owned and run Pastry/Bakery shop. The Lead Baker comes from Japan originally. They have a cafe set up in the store. You can get cake by the slice or purchase whole cakes. All cakes and breads are made the Japanese way. Cakes and pastries are lower in sugar/sweetness than most westerners are accustomed with. The breads are non-sliced but may be sliced at the buyer's option. The shop is closed on Mondays. Requests for character cakes are accepted gleefully. The reproductions are very accurate, especially when it comes to anime/manga character reproductions for the cakes. They also allow for commercial and party orders. They also take advance orders for Christmas Cakes which is a Japanese Specialty.

Very good pastries, I love the cream bread!!

Bianca Aguilar

Brian Horton

日本の食パンが恋しくなったら、ここ。キメ細かくてフンワリした白い食パンが手に入ります。ちなみに隣も日本食材店。

Alec Ana

BEST CAKES IN ARIZONA! The guy behind the counter looks at me like I'm crazy when I ask for one of everything, but I don't care! It's so good! Japanese cakes are 100 times better than Amarican cakes, FIGHT ME!

Lisa Hoang

Chelsey Naito

Arai doesn’t disappoint! We’ve stopped in many times, and I even had them make a cake for my husbands birthday (which we both devoured completely!) They were extremely easy to place the order, and even wrote beautifully in Japanese for me! We will be forever customers!!

Karolin Bilal

Couldn't find the place, The store had chains on the door not sure if it was the right place and if it was open. No name on the door.

Stopped by today and tried the strawberry cake- it was some of the best cake we have ever had! We loved the fact it was very light and not too sweet! Do yourself a favor and try this place out!
