We had a wonderful and sweet family outdoor breakfast here. There is a wide selection of special croissants and pasteries. We went early and were able to have a table outside.

I went to Ochiai for breakfast yesterday, it was my second time there, I had the Yuzu Croissant and a coffee. The croissant was good, not the best I've tried though, in fact I much prefer the Fava Tonka Croissant I tried the first time....Service was not remarkable for the standard of a place like that -prices are highg. My breakfast was not satisfactory enough, considering the bill was 5,25EUR, the croissant was good but the coffee -americano- was deplorable. I am amazed how a place with such a good quality of pastries does not consider to improve something as important as their coffee skills. A true pity since breakfast oughtta be a complete experience. Service and coffee matter too.More

I visited the patisserie for japanese sweets but I found that there are a wide range of matcha sweets (croissants, chocolates, panettone). They are so unique and worth to try. Service was excellent. Toilets were clean like in Japan ;)

I had such high hopes for this place, but it was somewhat of a disappointment. The croissants were fabulous! So many delicious varieties: matcha, almond, raspberry, chocolate and more. We each ordered a different one to share and sample among the group. However, those that...ordered the cakes (such as the matcha strawberry) were let down because they were dry, as if they had been sitting out for a few days. For the steep price per slice, we had expected more. Still worth a trip for the croissants :)More

It's an impressive demonstration of creativity, mixing successfully Catalan traditional pastry with the Japanese techniques and materials. Highly recommended the panettone of green tea, it's heavenly soft and fresh and light.

Amazing, creative desserts, cozy atmosphere, modern place. It is THE place to go if you have a sweet tooth, or just to complete your lunch after a light meal. The staff isn't very friendly or inviting, but you won't have much time to worry about...that when you got all those delicacies to try out :-)More

Wagashi is a unique sweet to Japan. They come in almost infinite varieties of flavors, colors and shapes. However, there are very few places to get real wagashi outside of Tokyo, and Barcelona has a great bakery called Patisseria Takashi Ochiai. They have many choices...of baked goods and Japanese dorayaki; lot’s of beautiful little cakes, nice coffee, and of course wagashi. Wagashi isn’t inexpensive, and this is a very smart and upscale little café. Step inside, order your wagashi and coffee and have a seat in the very modern interior. The morning I went, there was an elderly couple who was sharing a morning coffee and a sweet, and it was very cute. For truly authentic wagashi, Patisseria Takashi is the real deal.More

We sought this place out because of the TripAdvisor reviews. As we arrived we were quite confused as there was one store on the corner and the same store a few meters down the road. We decided to go to the corner one as it...seemed to be bigger and have bigger selection. As we entered nobody greeted us and we stood for a moment looking and the beautiful cakes wondering if we order it at the cashier and take it down to the table or if you get table service. We asked a woman who didn’t speak much English who then called her colleague over who seated us at the table. The menu was only in Catalan or Spanish. It was quite difficult to make out what everything was and the cakes we admired at the front didn’t seem to be on that menu. The atmosphere seemed weird and like they didn’t care about us being there or having time for us. We ordered a cup of earl grey, espresso and a green tea mochi. The coffee and tea was just as good as any other place and the mochi was just ok. Could tell it had been sitting for a while as it was very sticky on the outside. Definitely not as good as one find in Japan. As we were eating they started to wipe the tables and flip chair up on them as they were closing (although there was 40 min until) doing this while sitting there as a customer makes you feel rushed to get out. Why can’t you flip your chairs when the last customers leaves or pays? It takes 2 min. Anyways we went to pay and waited a while to be served again. Would not recommend and we won’t be back.More

We had breakfast in this Japanese patisserie. The selection of cakes was great and we really enjoyed the Dorayaki, the typical Japanese pancakes filled with green tea.

We lived nearby in Cosmo apartments and coffee with Takeshi's vanilla croissants were always a good start of the day. We tried a few other bakeries nearby, but Takeshi is so much better!

Everything was perfect except service. The cafe employees avoided eyes contacts when they approached me pre/after order. Dessert was lovely especially green mocha and mango. Cappuccino was wow! But I am puzzled why they use Illy brand instead of Japanese coffee. I visited Tokyo and...visited Omotesando. There is huge coffee market with multiple innovators and coffee makers which are authentic Japanese. Japan grows coffee beans too.More
