The most popular sandwich in Guru Guru’s growing lineup is the strawberry and kiwi with fresh whipped cream ($7.50). The vibrant colors and pleasing symmetrical patterns are totally Insta-worthy, but once you take a bite, you’ll realize why Japanese moms are lining up for these. The experience is like eating a handheld strawberry shortcake and it’s not as sugary as it looks, so eating both halves is perfectly acceptable. The banana and chocolate custard sando, which I also dive into, is like those crepes you get on Takeshita Dori in Harajuku, only smaller.
New sandwiches with strawberries, matcha cream and azuki ($8), and strawberries with whipped cream and azuki ($7.25) have appeared, and even more subtly sweet offerings are in the works. Did someone say tea time?
