Welcome to Universal bakes
Universal Bakes and Cafe is a 100% plant-based (vegan) bakery in Tokyo, Japan, opened in May 2020.
All of our breads and pastries, including croissants, cinnamon rolls, sandwiches, and soups are plant-based (with only vegetable ingredients), without any eggs, milk, or butter.
Universal Bakes Nicome is our second vegan bakery opened in 2021. The bakery items are slightly different from Universal Bakes and Cafe. Universal Bakes Nicome focuses more on baking fresh doughnuts and pastries.
