    How this place has a score in the yellow is beyond me. Tried everything on the menu and their cakes are so fluffy the texture is unlike any other bakery/pastry shop in the valley. Worth the drive.

    Easily the best bakery in metro phoenix in terms of asian bakeries. Everything they sell are fluffy & delicious! They have an elegant sweetness to them and you can actually enjoy the flavors.

    I love Arai! The staff is so kind and their breads are amazing. We got a cake for our friend's birthday, and it was the best cake I have ever had.

    Love the desserts here! Not too sweet but so good. My fav is the fruit tart, earl grey, matcha leche, flan. I didn't care for the mousse.

    I love the cream pan! Sweet but not too sweet. My friends all love the savory curry pan as well.

    All cakes are made to order. Want to order a cake for your special event? Do it at least two days in advance.

    Stop by for a sukiyaki beef sandwich and a UFO for lunch. The bread and pastries are amazing and what this place is known for.

    Cakes are delish but sometimes staff can be a little cold
