Crema's Take
“Milldang banks heavily on fresh-baked salt bread (mentaiko, green onion, pineapple varieties) that draws lines at midday, but the shop struggles with consistency and respect for customer time—doors stay closed past posted 8:30am openings, and some batches arrive undercooked in the middle. Quality ingredients are there, but execution is uneven; a few reviewers noted recent improvements in organization and bread volume, though that's not enough to lift it out of the 3.9 range. Visit only if you're specifically craving their salt bread and can handle potentially wasted trips.”
What to expect
Strong matcha and tea selection. Quick-grab spot. Pastries and light food on the menu.

See all on Google →Tldr: no respect for their customer's time. Opening time is 8:30 (though doors remained closed, salt bread is stocked at 9am). 1 star back because they do make decent salt bread. If you're here for salt bread there's a 4 piece limit, 2 original, 1 mentaiko and 1 sour cream and…
Top quality ingredients, yes. However, the taste was not that memorable. The salt bread was the main attraction, but it was almost raw and uncooked in the middle. The butter bar was very dry. Everything is extremely over priced and the sizes of pastries were too small.
Update: I revisited again and saw the store made many changes, all good changes. It’s much more organized and they started making a lot more of their famous salt bread. Changing my review from 3 star to 5 star. Please keep up with the great work! Original: Saw the long line…
You don't need to wait in line for the packaged bread, the line outside is just waiting for the next batch of salt bread. When I went around noon they only had the mentaiko and green onion ones coming out at 11:30, and the plain salt bread was refilling at 3pm. I didn't stay to…
It seems newly opened, but the food leans towards Asian flavors. Like Mentaiko bum, pineapple bum , matcha flavor ….etc. We saw it while having lunch next door, so we went in and bought some bread. I bought mochi balls, lemon cake, toast and cookies. ** overnight will not test…
