Open twenty-four hours a day, at first glance The Wizard's Bakery seems like any ordinary bakery where you can buy bread, cakes, and cookies, with a somewhat grumpy man behind the counter. At first glance, that is. Because when the young boy who is our protagonist chooses it as a refuge to escape a difficult family situation, the reality he finds is quite different. Baked with the help of a mysterious blue-haired shop assistant, are sweets and pastries with immense powers: madeleines to fix broken hearts, almond bars to unearth memories buried deep within, and cinnamon cookies for your worst enemies. But each of these items comes with a warning. Follow along with our protagonist as he learns about the responsibility that comes with working at this bakery - and most of all, how much people need a little bit magic in their lives.
