Really good authentic Japanese bakery and cafe. Everything was fresh, and the pastries were almost too cute to eat. I got the matcha sweet cream cold brew and it was really good too. Definitely a nice little spot and we’ll be back to try more.

I was really excited to visit after seeing this place on social media. I brought my kids in on a Sunday morning. It was not busy at all, which was nice because it gave us time to look at the treats displayed and make our choices. However, the woman behind the counter seemed annoyed that we were taking a little extra time to make our selections. We purchased over $70 worth of pastries to try and although they were all very visually appealing, they tasted very underwhelming. I know I am probably the odd man out with this one, but I do not enjoy the flavor of grass fed butter in pastries. This is why I will do 4 stars, but to me personally I feel like they were more of a 3 star. I felt like every thing I tried that was a croissant type pastry was overpowered by that flavor. The pastries also tasted a little stale. Since we ordered so many, we had leftover ones to try the next day and they were already so hard I had to throw them away. We ordered drinks as well. I enjoyed mine, it was one of the specials, an iced hojicha tea latte. My son’s ‘child’s’ hot chocolate was so hot that he burned his mouth. I couldn’t even take a sip of it, and had to pour ice from my drink into it. My daught

I am in love with this Japanese Bakery! After spending almost a month in Japan, I've been trying to find a honest-to-goodness authentic Japanese Bakery with real ingredients and taste from Japan, and not some over-sugared Americanized version. The Loaf is it. Just have one bite of that salted butter roll, and if you're like me, you be transported back to those wonderful underground train station cafes dotting Tokyo and across Japan. I just love how the taste melts in your mouth, and yet stays light and fluffy. The Matcha Mochi An-pan pastry with its matcha flavored bun filled with red bean and mochi is another classic flavor combination. Warm, moist, and so delicious. There are so many flavors that The Loaf is worth the multiple visits!

Kevin and I finally stopped by The Loaf Japanese Bakery in Newhall after it was recommended to us, and I can’t believe we waited so long! If you’re looking for a cozy bakery in Newhall or a cute coffee and pastry spot in Santa Clarita, this place is such a gem. From the moment we walked in, it felt warm, inviting, and authentic. It’s a smaller space and was a bit busy, but that honestly added to the charm. Everything smelled incredible, and you can tell everything is made with care. We ordered the matcha square croissant, and it was one of the most unique pastries I’ve had. The outside was perfectly crisp and flaky, while the inside was soft and buttery. The matcha filling was smooth, rich, and beautifully balanced not overly sweet, just perfect. And the little heart detail on top? So cute and such a thoughtful touch. For drinks, I got the matcha sea salt cold brew and Kevin ordered a taro tea. Both were smooth, flavorful, and so good we wished we had ordered more. The staff was kind, helpful, and happy to answer questions, which we really appreciated on our first visit. Even with a steady flow of customers, the service still felt welcoming. They also offer some of the most c

I’m so happy I found this Japanese cafe because they make my favorite banana matcha, the one I’d happily drive all the way from Los Angeles for 😍 The pastries are always super fresh and delicious too. Thank you for existing, and I sincerely wish you many long and successful years in business so you can continue delighting us with the quality of your drinks and pastries!
