- The bakehouse spans ~800 sq ft and offers a blend of sweet and savoury menu items.
- Sweet highlights include Mochi Pancakes, Japanese Cotton Cheesecake, Sakura Yuzu Basque Cheesecake, and Rainbow Slice, among others.
- On the savoury side, offerings such as Yakisoba Buns, Miso Chicken Puffs, Croque Monsieur, and Chicken Floss Buns are on the menu.
