Belle's Bread Japanese Bakery and Café

A family owned Japanese bakery that sells wedding and custom made cakes. Their pastries are French inspired, and they have a team of bakers that produce these goodies from scratch in-house

Found this place last minute as a highly rated bakery in Columbus. I decided to give it a try and take part in enjoying the deliciousness. When I arrived it was around 1:30. It seemed like half the stock was out or low. Could sandwiches were basically empty a handful of the pastry trays were low. I assumed that was almost a good sign that meant sales were good which means pastries are good. I decided to get a caramel almond roll as I love both caramel and almonds. When I got to where I was going I was excited to dive in and even took a great picture. At first bite there was a strange taste. I took a few more to confirm and I was right it indeed had a weird taste. Something with the caramel moose had a very chemically/artificial taste to it. Very unenjoyable and ruined the entire cake. It fell like eating cleaning product moose. Idk if the mixing bowl the moose was made in didn’t get rinsed all the way or what but something not good happened. As for service again the slowness or lack of restocking items was an issue. Someone bought me an iced coffee with light milk And it was fully loaded with milk which means a lack of attention to detail. Personally preference they have work to do before getting anywhere near 4+ stars

A huge fan of this place!!! The crepes are really good. I also love: red bean bun, Nutella bun, melon bun, chocolate bun, pana cotta, mousse, and chocolate cake. I drive all the way from Mount Vernon every once in a while so I can enjoy the goodness
