Tadaima

Owned by Japanese-American Ayaka Ando, Tadaima is a bakery currently based out of Industry City specializing in beautiful pastries and baked goods. I love the yuzu lemon cake, which has perfect hints of citrus without the flavor being too overpowering and is dense in texture in the best possible way. The presentation is also beautiful: purple, yellow, and pink dried flower petals and rosebuds sit atop the glaze on the cake, with glimpses of gold cake glitter sprinkled throughout. I’m also a fan of any of the matcha-flavored desserts, which are all rich in matcha flavor and not too sweet. Tadaima serves coffee and tea as well, so you should order a chai latte to help wash down all of the sweet pastries.
