Kyle’s Good Finds, a small American-owned bakery in the Nakano city area of Tokyo, might remind you of your favorite mom-and-pop shop that always has the best baked goods.

The 10-minute walk to the bakery, which recently celebrated its 30th anniversary, from Nakano Station’s north exit will take you past a variety of cafes, restaurants and convenience stores. When you arrive outside Kyle’s Good Finds, a menu in the window lists a tempting variety of cakes, pies, brownies and cookies.

Baked goods are available in whole or by the slice. Of the items I sampled, the carrot cake and brownie were the best.

The carrot cake was nice and moist, and the icing complemented the cake’s flavor nicely. The brownie was rich and quite chocolatey. It’s definitely on my list of the top five brownies I’ve ever had.

I would have preferred a little more banana taste in the banana bread. It wasn’t on the same level as the cake and brownie, but I still recommend giving it a try.

The prices are another benefit of stopping by. The three items I tried cost me about 880 yen, which is a little under $7. For a full pie, cake or other larger items, expect to pay between 1,900 and 4,900 yen. You can also place orders in advance on the bakery’s website.

I recommend purchasing your items to go. The two very small tables inside will seat four uncomfortably, and the sales counter is a small space where, when a line forms, customers must enter one at a time so they don’t have to squeeze past one another.
