Hello, Trader Joe’s Spring Pastel Totes!
If you’ve followed me for a while, you probably already know—I have a soft spot for Trader Joe’s.

Opening this past January 30, 2025, this beloved Japanese bakery, with 37 locations in Japan, brings its signature Mou bread—a perfectly cube-shaped delight—to SoCal. For my first visit, I tried their French toast plate, which featured Mou bread as French toast,…
