Belle's Bread

We were in Columbus yesterday and decided to check out Belle's Bread.  When I lived in the area, it was a smaller Japanese bakery that had melon soda and curry bread.   This place is much larger with a full lunch service available.  I was not disappointed.  It has many foods pictured in anime and visual novels.

I had a melon sodal float.   Wonderfully delicious.

Steve had a Calpico float.   Not as flashy as my melon soda but still tasty.

This is a ham and cheese sandwich.   It comes crustless with lettuce and mayo inside in perfect proportions.   I saved half of mine for later.

I also got to try this avocado and tuna sandwich.  I like avocado but wasn't wild about the tuna salad.   

This was Steve's coffee pudding.   Two different layers of creamy goodness.

I went with the mille feuille, which is another name for a neopolitan.   It was ever so decadant.   I really look forward to being in Columbus next to try their lunch menu.

Reilly's

Ok, it's a little morbid, but we went out for meat pies before we went to see Sweeney Todd.   Reilly's at the West Side Market has the best savory pies I've ever had.   The crust is flaky and filling is tasty.  My favorite is the turkey and swiss pasty.  You can microwave them to keep them soft, or bake them for a more crispy taste.

Koko Bakery

 After the show, we stopped in at Koko Bakery in Asia Town for dinner.   I've been there plenty of times, but I hadn't blogged about their food before.   They have bubble tea, Asian-style baked goods, rice bowls, and other good things to eat.   Two years ago we got our Christmas Cake from there.

That was a cream cake with strawberries and kiwi inside.   Not overly sweet, just perfect.

Today we got a couple of egg tarts (far left and right), a curry beef bun (bottom left), a bacon cheese bun (bottom right), and a chocolate mousse (image at top of page).  Yummy!

This is my almond bubble tea.

And this is Steve's mango smoothie.

The portions are the right size.  It's a great place to stop in for a meal or a snack.  Even better for taking home dessert!
