japonaise bakery

important: japonaise no longer sells donuts. after a long walk in search of fried dough, i was slightly disappointed. however, the pastries are delicious enough to warrant the trip. my tasty azukicreamwas a sweetened croissant filled with whippedcreamand bean paste dusted in powdered sugar. they have a large selection of frozen yogurt and summer drinks that also looked refreshing.
