Chako Bakery Cafe

"Beautiful café. They have lots of very pretty plants and a very neat environment. The food was delicious. They had the best miso soup I've ever had. The karaage chicken was very tasty. The onigiri was good, too. Their bakery has a great selection of cake rolls, bread, and buns. They all looked delicious. They had a beautiful fruit tart. I purchased an ube cake roll. I wish I had thought to take a picture of the pastries. The staff were very friendly and happy to answer any questions. I hope to visit again while on my business trip!"

"I had been there 4 years prior and remembered loving it. I just came back from a grip to Japan for 2 weeks and had to revisit the place. Just as delicious as I remember. I love their new fish lunch and onigiri. So scrumptious. We enjoyed some of the baked goods, too. Absolutely delicious!"

"This bakery is an absolute delight! Their sweet and savory pastries are incredibly delicious, with each bite being a burst of flavor. The shaved ice they offer is a perfect treat on a hot day. Not only is the food amazing, but the service is also top-notch – friendly, efficient, and attentive. A must-visit for anyone who craves mouthwatering baked goods and a refreshing shaved ice experience!"

"I had a rice ball lunch here! It was light and healthy, but very delicious. I took the cake and bread home and they are very delicious and highly recommended. Owner Chako san was kind and I enjoyed talking with her❗"

"I really wanted to give 5 stars, but unfortunately I had mixed experiences. First time was excellent. I called shortly after closing and they were nice enough to let me purchase bakery items. We came back a few days later but disappointed that they got our order wrong. Also had to remind staff to bring our soup, silverware, and tea. The meals were good, traditional Japanese dishes. However, they really shine in their pastries! Their rolls are not too sweet. I recommend the cream puffs, espresso cake, and apricot glazed pastry. Located in a quaint part of Covington, although parking can be difficult so be prepared to walk. The restaurant is clean, but somewhat plain. Hours are unfortunately short as they close at 3 pm. I recommend stopping by in you're in the area for some sweets on the go."
