Takahachi Bakery: Spicy Salmon Avocado Sandwich
Sometimes when I am in Tribeca and am feeling hungry, I always struggle to find a place to eat. But if I really can't find something I want, I always end up going to the Takahachi Bakery. It's a Japanese bakery that has fresh made breads, sandwiches, sweets and cakes. Whenever I feel like grabbing a light lunch or something sweet, it is always my go-to spot. (Because I get super indecisive!)
On days when I want a light sandwich, I tend to go for the spicy salmon avocado, which is not the cheapest, ($7.95) but I try not to go too often. The bread used for the sandwich is their house-made black sesame bread. (They also make other types of bread daily.) The only downside of it is that you don't taste the black sesame when combined. The bread also gets a little moist, but that is because it sits in their open refrigerator after being made. As for the salmon, it was very smooth and creamy, but lacking some salt and spiciness since it was a "spicy" salmon avocado sandwich. Sandwiched in between are also some avocado which adds some creaminess to it, along with some thin slices of cucumber which adds a crunch to it.
Overall, it is a good sandwich if you want to pick up something a little healthier. One complaint I would have for it is that I wish it had more filling because although it looks like there is quite a bit of filling, when i bit towards the crust, it tends to not have any. For about $8 a sandwich, I think it could have at least been filled all the way. Other than that, I do enjoy the food at the bakery. It makes me feel less guilty about eating out!
Other Notes:
Price: $$
I would say the price is mid-range. Buns would run about $2-3 while cakes are about $5-6 a slice. It's not as cheap as the bakeries in Chinatown, but their quality is definitely better.
Atmosphere: Casual
You walk in and you can grab a tray and take the items you want, somewhat similar to cafeteria style. Cakes or pastries though, you would have to tell them since they are behind the glass counter. There is quite a bit of seating in the bakery, along with a clean bathroom in the back. Besides the seats is also a open view of the kitchen, so you can watch all the baked goods being made. If you don't want to sit, there is also a bar by the entrance for people who want to quickly take a bite or drink before going.
Service:
Service here is always nice there. The staff here is always very welcoming and helpful if there are any questions.
