Plant-Based, Japanese & American Bakes
Tonari (Japanese for 'Neighbor') Bakery is a Boulder-based home-bakery specializing in sweet rolls, cookies, and custom desserts from familiar flavors to Japanese inspired treats. Everything is made with care in small batches, like something from a friendly neighbor, but with a hint of global flavors.
What Type of Bakes?
You’ll find classic American-style baked goods alongside flavors and techniques inspired by Japanese home baking—sometimes traditional, sometimes fusion, always intentional. Think soft milk-breads, balanced sweetness, and flavors that feel both familiar and new.
Our bakes aren’t about authenticity. It’s about honoring both influences and letting them join together into something new.
Baked goods are 100% plant-based*

About Tonari Bakery
Tonari Bakery is a small, home-based bakery by Brad, a fourth-generation (yonsei) Japanese American. Inspired by my mother and Obaachan, Japantowns, and asian bakeries, Tonari brings together Japanese and American flavors with an emphasis on balanced, “not-too-sweet” desserts. Everything is made in small batches and meant to be shared.
