Universal Bakes and Cafe

Universal Bakes and Cafe is a fully vegan bakery and cafe in Setagaya Daita that opened in May 2020. Breads and pastries are baked three times a day (morning, midday, afternoon), so the selection stays fresh throughout service. The lineup includes melonpan, herb focaccia, cinnamon rolls, curry buns, and croissants, all made without eggs, dairy, or butter. The signature item is a French toast served in a cast iron skillet with vegan ice cream. The space is small, with roughly six seats split between two indoor tables and an outdoor area facing a quiet residential street. A drink order is required to sit.
