The 44 best pastries and patisseries in Chiyoda

We queued for about 50 minutes, so naturally, I was expecting the food to be mind-blowingly good—something truly worth the wait. Unfortunately, it didn’t quite live up to the hype. The overall experience felt a bit average, like something you could easily get at other Western-style cafés. Their signature dishes were decent, but nothing particularly amazing or memorable. The chicken karaage, however, was a standout—crispy, juicy, and flavorful—definitely something the Japanese do exceptionally well. The cacao drink was a bit too sour for my taste, and the dark rum coffee had only a very mild coffee flavor, which was underwhelming. The pudding is also average, and the brown sugar tastes a bit bitter... In summary, it’s a nice café, but only if there’s little to no queue. Otherwise, it feels like a bit of a letdown and not really worth such a long wait.

This place is a bit confusing. It's hard to order pastries and then sit down and eat them. The ordering counter for meals (burgers, sandwiches) is at a different place than the ordering counter for pastries, but we wanted to eat pastries in the restaurant. It feels like decisions need to be made very quickly and there's little explanation of how that should happen properly. It's almost just 2 shops in the same building, where the pastry counter has no menu and you just have to take pictures of what's available if you need time to think. I think we waited about a half hour to order (which was reasonable). The pastries were pretty good/okay. I don't think there's enough butter in all of Japan to actually rival French pastries, so that should not be your bar if you're going here. We tried several different pastries and the best were the financiers and the sausage dog imo. That said, the cafe latte and the brown sugar dessert option were freaking phenomenal. I would definitely go back for those, but not really anything else. The burger was juicy, but mostly drowned in ketchup and too sweet.

May 2025: Visiting from the United States and stayed at the Grand Hyatt nearby. Workers are very friendly. Found this bakery that had amazing coffee and baked goods nearby. Coffee was fabulous with wonderful tasting notes 🎶. I normally add oat milk instead of cream. The restaurant had oat milk as an upgradeable option.👍 My favorite baked goods were the bread 🍞 and the raisin roll. Also tried the avocado 🥑 toast. Stayed at the hotel for six nights and this place was my go-to for coffee and breakfast. Probably stopped by for coffee, pastries and/or bread six different times. On the last day of my vacation, I tried a "pain perdu" which was so delicious. Reminds me of a french toast... And I looked up the name and it's literally french toast 😀. Aside from the delicious bread, this is my new favorite! Will definitely come back again when I am in Tokyo again!

One of the most popular bakery shop in the area, lots of people were queuing pf a seat. For take out, no need to wait. I waited for 20mins for a seat, then ordered. This is my third time here, every menu was delicious, especially the bakery. Coffee is ok. Salad and bread are the best

Came on a Saturday morning around 11:00 am. There was already a line and the staff said it would be around a 20 minute wait for a party of 2. It ended up taking closer to 30. You order from the register and there’s separate ones for the bakery side and food. We ordered the jerk chicken bagel and the eggs Benedict toast. The toast was delicious, and the bagel was also solid. A little pricey but it’s a nice ambiance and good location if you’re around Roppongi hills. Also got a sourdough to go, which was delicious.

The service attitude is bad: the ordering flow was so strange, you have to walk against the flow to check the pastry section after taking the number in another entry. After waiting a while to get a table, I have to walk back to make the order AND the clerk asked me serval times if I have a seat to dine in. I showed her my number ticket and told her I already have one table, then she seemed not believing me and asked me to point out where exactly my seat was. I was traveling solo, how can I put my purse in the outside table and walk back inside to make the order?! Of course I have to carry my purse around, and that does not mean that I don’t have a seat, especially I already told her many times that I already have one seat! Back to the croissant: just average. Crispy but not airy. The dark rum latte is good.

Best bread I had opportunity to taste in Japan, loved it. Definitely will come back again. Great taste & atmosphere. Friendly and helpful staff. Thank you very much for this experience 🙏❤️

A very nice storefront on a quiet street was a perfect place for mid-afternoon snack. Friendly staff made great recommendations. Most importantly, the bread was fantastic!

Okay, this place is the real deal. Went there about 3 pm on a Sunday in June. It is a window ordering place with maybe two small tables and chairs if you want to eat there. The prices are on the higher end. Around 350 yen for each baked good. I guess the price does not deter the loyal customers. While this may not rise to the level of ambrosia, it is definitely top-tier. It is near a university and may also attract college students. Anyhow, worth a visit as you can't go wrong.

Truly delicious bites! Discovered this place when walking along the Kanda River and searching for a snack. Bacon roll, bacon epi bread, and cream cheese raisin mini pain de campagne. All were excellent, I wished I'd bought more for tomorrow's breakfast. For good, fresh, handmade breads the price is really good as well, about 250 yen per piece. Good luck finding that around Shibuya or Shinjuku.

Delicious sweet and savory Japanese bread pastries. A lot of different options and all were yummy!

Nice hidden bakery in the quiet neighborhood of takadanobaba, breads and buns are more English / German inspired, making this bakery a bit more original

Very delicious bread, sausage rolls and chocolate buns. I wish I could buy bread here every day!

Great bakery with interesting twists on items. I recommend the 豆乳フランズ if you're like something soft.

Very good food with appropriate portions. I read a review there is a long wait for food to come, but I think ours came in around 5 minutes or even less. Staff did well too, no issues.

We waited for 1 hour to be seated on a weekday afternoon. Not quite sure what the hype is about. Service is probably the worst we’ve had in Japan so far. One of the waiters gave us the look when we were taking our time to order. Very limited options for vegetarians, and a minimum order of two appetizers is required if you’re a vegetarian. So we had to get an extra baguette for the table which we weren’t able to finish. For the dessert we got a Mont Blanc and a strawberry dessert. Find them mediocre and overpriced.

The croissant was good but Iwas a bit disappointed with their nicoise sandwich. It was basically a potato sandwich (I don’t even remember they put potatos in pan pagnat). No tuna or olive oil whatsoever. Maybe I got unlucky, but I thought it was a safe option given it’s a French bakery and the abundance of tuna here in Japan.

I came here for a friend’s birthday dinner. I reserved dinner for us and I asked if they could make desert for her but it was on that day so I couldn’t. Food was really good. They gave us explanations of menu, like where it came from and good with wine etc... when we ordered deserts (mine was parfait and hers was gâteau chocolat ), who expected?? They brought her decorated cake for her birthday!!! We’re surprised and she looked happy. The service was great, I would love to come here again!! Next time I’ll come here with my mom :)

Went there for dinner about one month ago. Located in one of the top commercial buildings at Marunouchi, it is very close to Tokyo Station. It is very convenient for a tourist, especially if you stay in this area. Layout is like a typical French bistro with its own bakery. Staff can communicate in English. Service was good. Quality of food was nice and price was reasonable. On the date of my visit, a Wednesday evening, it was full. It was well patronised by locals. I think the apple pie was an excellent choice to end the dinner. Will consider a revisit if I am in the area.

Too many people so need to wait for a long time. Maybe shop some breads to go will be a better idea, the food in the restaurant was just fine not as we expect that good but still can try their food when you have free time .

I stumbled upon a charming little spot with all the trappings of a French café, so I popped in to pick up a baguette. The ambiance was spot-on, but the staff were less reminiscent of any Parisian boulangerie I’ve ever visited, and more of a masterclass in aloof snobbery. I asked—quite simply—if they carried anything like a spelt or ancient grain loaf. This sent them scurrying to the kitchen, only to return and deliver a monologue entirely unrelated to my question, reciting their limited knowledge with the fervour of a man defending his dissertation. By the end, I was thoroughly exhausted by the performance and made a discreet exit before they embarked on the history of yeast. •••••••••••••• As for the baguette itself—surely the point of the whole excursion—it turned out to be aggressively salted. Quite unsuitable for demi-sel butter, and entirely unworkable for any sandwich containing so much as a whisper of seasoning. One might say it was a loaf with trust issues. •••••••••••••••

Breads are excellent, tried both the famous red bean bun and the sesame variety. This was on a summer morning where there was a downpour outside. I wanted to grab a quick breakfast but surprisingly, was told not to eat in store after buying my breads. I was truly puzzled as the entire store was empty and I was only a handful of customers at the store. I understand if this policy should be enforced especially when the store is packed. But this policy of disallowing customers to have their buns hot when fresh, out of store is truly disappointing and one of the very rare occurrence of poor customer service that I’ve encountered in Tokyo.

Ginza Kimuraya, founded in 1869, is Japan’s oldest bakery and the birthplace of the famous anpan sweet bun. Located in central Ginza, it still uses its traditional sake yeast recipe that gives the bread a soft, fragrant flavor. The multi-floor shop includes a bakery, café, Western grill, and French bistro. Their sakura anpan—topped with a salted cherry blossom—is a must-try. It’s a perfect stop to taste over 150 years of Tokyo baking history.

Very good business. Famous for its red bean bread. Some butter Inside the bread as well. There is a big variety of breads for selection. Can come and grab some breads to go. This shop also has an afternoon tea areas on the second floor and some decent meals offered on the third floor.

TLDR: bit pricey for dine-in, red bean buns were ok but nothing special to me We got two sets at the cafe upstairs. I got the shrimp sandwich combo and she got the red bean pastry combo. Both come with coffee or tea. The shrimp sandwich was pretty decent but nothing that stood out. The red bean pastries were also just ok, the sweetness of the red bean comes out but the bun itself wasn’t that great to me

Delicious bakery which will provide the perfect breakfast if you are in the area! Very polite and kind people will help you in case you have any questions! Sweet and salty - or take both! My favourite one for the moment is the „cheese danish“! Thumbs up!

The best red bean bread jn Tokyo. The second floor is the cafe shop and the third floor is the restaurant. The sandwiches are good too. Highly recommended

Updated review: They used to sell a divine beef curry kare pan while it’s hot but now it’s bagged and you get a soggy one. Such disappointment they messed with one of my favourites. I’m lowering to 3 stars because of food sanitary conditions. Out of 10 times I’ve eaten here, I’ve gotten sick twice. Once was the lovely cream anpan bun in the hot summer, and this last one was the milk bread. I ate the milk bread on separate days apart and realised the culprit. So be careful. They sell lovely baked goods- another favourite are the anpans (baked buns with various fillings) in the front. I like the cream cheese, the chestnut, the classic anko red bean. The red bean doughnut was just ok- next time I will try something else. This store is always busy, côme and enjoy!

We bought 8 macarons and got some of them, couldn’t tell which flavor they actually are. Wasn’t really impressed so I flavor or texture. The chocolate cake was nice.

The “Degustation Royal” cake set was a feast for both the eyes and palate. Each miniature cake was exquisitely crafted, offering a range of flavors from rich chocolate to refreshing matcha and tangy fruit layers. The textures were perfectly balanced, making every bite a new discovery. Paired with their black coffee, which was smooth and robust with a subtle bitterness, the combination was indulgent yet refined. The elegant interior of the patisserie, with its bright and luxurious ambiance, added to the overall experience😍

APRIL 2023 When I visited the store it was busy so decided to takeout a number of cakes. The staff at the counter was patient and helpful with answering some questions about the cakes. The matcha related desserts had a mild matcha flavor, especially the 'Bamboo' where the chocolate ganache was overpowering, alcohol flavor was also quite strong. The 'Saya' cake had a strong sweet strawberry cream layer but the Frasier definitely tastes better with the strawberries and cream sandwich between the soft dacquoise. The other favorite was the 'Paradis fraises' which was essentially a big macaron with plenty of sweet strawberries and pistachio cream and praline, the combination of flavors and texture was divine. It was definitely expensive but the frasier and the macaron cake which I enjoyed a lot was well worth it.

My favourite Pastry store of all time! Everytime I am in Tokyo or Paris I must pay a visit Becuase their pastries are so beautifully made and not to mention tastes amazing! The girl who served us was super kind and considerate and even provided ice packs for our trip!

Fancy sweet patisserie café 🍵 Nice experience to have a seat and enjoy the beautiful cake here. All look nice. Like the matcha green tea cake. Chocolate cake also good. The chocolate fingers look so good 😊. Love the concept of the dessert here. Not too sweet. High quality ingredients.

The matcha croissant is awesome. I had this other dessert which has strawberries in them. It's superb, the cream is not overwhelming. Thus, I can taste the delicious strawberries. All the elements combine well together.👍

Someone told me this was the best macaron ever. That if you don't like macaron, it's just because you've never had a good one. I'm not into sweets so I didn't really get the hype BUT I did enjoy the cafe and earl grey flavor. Tried cassis and citron flavor too but not my type. They also gave us some yuzu bonbons but the sourness and bitterness didn't sit well with me huhu 3 stars for the macarons. Texture was really good!

I stumbled upon this bagel shop after strolling around the area. Staff was very welcoming. At noon there were few customers, no line. I ordered freshly baked cinnamon and raisin bagel with raisin walnut soy cream cheese and jamon Serrano ham. They accept cash and cards. I waited for my order around 5 minutes. The place is quite small, only 5 seats available indoor. And few more seats outdoor. The bagel was huge and I almost couldn’t finish them. Everything perfectly goes together. The bagel was crisp and chewy (but not for long if you don’t finish them quick enough. I would recommend to stop by this place.

Welcoming staff and delicious bagels! Thankful it opens early compared to most food spots. I had the garlic bagel with salmon and enjoyed every bite.

ı am in search for a NY style 🥯 and found this shop that offers their own unique twist — literally. They’re hand-twisted into beautiful shapes, giving them a distinctive look and texture. One of the highlights for me was the germinated brown rice bagel. It’s not something you come across often, and it was surprisingly tasty — definitely more flavorful than the whole wheat option. I also tried a small plain bagel to get a sense of the base flavor, and it held up really well. I also picked up a sesame bagel— I enjoyed it with watermelon and cheese, one of my favorite summer combos, especially with sesame bagels. Their sesame bagel was gooood 🤩. The sandwiches you see in the photos are actually my own variaton, but the bagels themselves are from here — and they turned out great. If you’re open to trying a creative, local twist on the traditional bagel, this place is worth checking out!

Such a cute bagel place hidden away! The bagels were super soft and flavoursome, and the workers were super warm and friendly. I got the everything bagel with saba salad, and a blueberry bagel with cream cheese. Both 10/10. I love that the everything bagel has chunks of rock salt baked into it 🥯

Love their bagels 🥯 BiG and warm 🤤 Came here at 11:30 and 3 out 4 bagels were still warm 😙 Surprised how BIG they are Only wish they had strawberry cream cheese !! Came here before around 1-2pm and they sold out so be careful

I’ve been a huge fan of MARUICHI BAGEL ever since they opened in Yoyogi Uehara. Their bagels always remind me of authentic NYC style bagels and the way they make their sandwiches. I’m always impressed by the quality! The staff are friendly and polite, though it might take a little time to choose your bagel they have so many great options. Highly recommended!

Tasty and beautiful handmade bagels (you can find vegan and vegetarian solutions too). Staff is super kind and friendly. Absolutely recommended!

I came here because they sell sourdough bread and I’ve been on a mission to find the best in Tokyo. They have several sourdough options which was a nice touch, with a whole host of other breads to choose from. I got the baguette sliced plus just a regular sourdough bread slice, which was a bit unique and worth trying. Both were delicious and I’d go back for not only those but for the other varieties as well. Staff were great and service fast.

My first time buying sour bread in Tokyo. I came all the way from Adachi because of the good reviews. I haven't eaten them yet, and i plan to freeze some. However i had the blueberry cream cheese for dine in. It was really fulfilling and one is enough for me. The older male staff was really kind. Really good atmosphere and service. Only cashless!

Definitely one of the best bakeries in the area, and with amazing service. The choice is not as large as larger bakeries- which to me is a good thing. They specialize in rye breads and sourdough and they excel at it. The hot sandwiches using their ciabatta is excellent. The blueberry cream cheese was my favorite.

As a Google reviewer I count on Google review to identify new restaurants and places to visit especially while travelling. This bakery has a 4.8 Google review that’s very reassuring. As it is not close to subway station, I took a 40-min walk from my hotel. This bakery is truly a hidden gem. Decoration of the bakery is very pretty and offers a very comforting ambiance. Great music. All bakery are pre-packed for easy selection with name tags to indicate the ingredients. Some variety of the bread offer half or even quarter size! They are very soft and fresh. The store has some seatings to allow eat in. Staff are very friendly and patient to allow me to take photos. I bought a few items and they offer me three big slices of sour dough bread for free! They definitely live up to the 5 stars rating! Highly recommend.

This place deserves 5 stars. It’s really clean inside. You feel so welcomed. The morning staff especially is always helpful and pleasant. They play nice music. I usually arrive 7:55 am and I know they open at 8:00 am but she would let me in. I come here before going to work. Their bread is really delicious and I think it’s now my favorite bread shop in Tokyo. I’m sure that I’ll continue supporting them. Thank you for the delicious bread.

Best sourdough I’ve ever tasted. Big fan of the ham and cheese sandwich and my daughter and I give the corn soup a 10 / 10! Very friendly owner and staff and great vibes in the store with relaxing music playing gently.

Best bread in Japan! The owner was so lovely and heated up my quick snack for me (Spinach and Bacon Twist. Was DIVINE and very fresh. Also had some olive bread which was easily best sourdough in Japan. Took a photo halfway through it 🤣

We tried the pistachio cornet and chocolate cornet. Definitely try the pistachio cornet cause it was amazing. I still think about that pistachio cornet. Just melt in your mouth and has a crunchy exterior that is not overly sweet. If I could come back, I would come slightly hungry and try more desserts from this place.

The almond kouign amann was so good, like a hybrid cookie. Would highly recommend this place. It’s in the food show area, among other baked goods. There weren’t that many options when I went around 5-6pm.

After a big sushi set meal, I was craving something sweet and crunchy, so we swung by this small bakery to check out the selections. The milk cornet, their #2 seller, was extraordinary, with a divine crunch to the pastry where you can feel every layer as you bite down. The light and sweet filling was quite firm, so it held its own against the formidable exterior. The raspberry croffle was similarly excellent, with a chewy pastry texture and a sparkling, juicy filling - it looked like a culinary treasure and tasted like one as well. Special mention to the service, as the shop attendants were very kind and joyous, making the food even easier to love.

This bakery does an exceptional pastry called the Pistachio Cornet. It's a horn shaped buttery and flaky puff pastry chock full of luscious pistachio cream. The magnificent crunch and creamy pistachio filling made for quite a delightful experience. Highly recommend texture junkies with a sweet tooth to give it a shot.

Perfect for your morning pastries and coffee, reasonably priced. There is some nice seating inside, select your pastries and order your coffee, sit and enjoy. Location-wise this is situated opposite Shibuya crossing and Shibuya JR station - super convenient. There is a wide selection of pastries, breads & cakes available - my family ate here approx 4-5 times when travelling in Japan, I stayed at the hotel above the ‘food-show’. We preferred eating here instead of the hotel breakfast ( mainly because I feel they are over-priced and the kids don’t eat huge breakfast’s). We also found it cheaper. For a family of 4 (2 adults / 2 kids) we would spend approx 3200 yen (approx $33) for a selection of 7-8 pastries to share, 2 mango juices for the kids and 2 coffees for the adults - I reckon that’s pretty good value when compared to 7000 yen for the hotel breakfast)

Visit this place 3 times. Very friendly staff and great experience. Fantastic pastry. I am very impress when the staff bring out freshly baked pastry. He remove the old ones and put the fresh one. He took the old pastry to the back kitchen to throw. That is pretty impressive. What typical bakery do is they will put the old pastry in front and fresh pastry at the rear. So as to sell the old pastry first. Really a must visit when you go shibuya.

Located in Tokyo Food Show( You can reach by Hachiko Gate) There are lots of good bakeries. It is good option to have quick breakfast there. After buying You can sit in food show. There are seats and tables to eat there but not many.

Creamy, Crispy, Cash only! Do note that they only accept cash. Jokes aside I really like the warm bun served with the cold fillings, I quite liked the vanilla cream one instead of the ice cream fillings as they tend to melt quite fast and it gets messy to eat. They have a strict policy of only eating within a designated area so do note!

just walking NEAR this stall front is heaven for melon pan/pineapple bun lovers — the sweet, signature, sugary aroma of the bread entices everyone walking by. compared to pineapple buns, i found that the melon pan was much softer and floppier/limper(?) than a pineapple bun. as well as that, the top was crispier/crunchier than a typical pineapple bun’s, which is usually very crumbly. i loved how the matcha ice cream wasn’t too sweet at all, with its perfectly bitter notes of green tea complementing the sugary top of the melon pan. the soft serve was also extremely creamy, and the coolness of the ice cream contrasted well with the warm, fresh, fluffiness of the bun. although it didn’t completely blow me away, and i think i still prefer pineapple buns, this was extremely satisfying and filling. also don’t be intimidated by the line, it moves EXTREMELY quick, since a lot of people are just getting the melon pans and not the ice cream (although you might have to wait a bit if you want ice cream, since they do it one by one and it’s quite slow).

Tried the matcha flavored melon bread. There was a short queue but it moved very fast so there was no wait. The bread was fresh warm out of the oven and super crispy. It was a nice contrast to the colder matcha ice cream. A bit pricey but the bread was quite big and I miss eating this.

Fantastic bread shop. Melon bread was large and had plenty of different filling options to choose from. We chose the Matcha and Whipped cream filling options. Also grabbed some for the trip home and just to snack on random days of our trip. 300y for a plain bread, and something like 600-800y for other filling options. Popular place and wait times were short despite having a long wait line.

We ordered one normal Melon bread and one with matcha ice cream. Both tasted really good, especially the one with ice cream, because the bread itself is quite dry inside, so the ice cream makes it taste more moist plus you will have some of the matcha flavour as well. Definitely one of the better ones I had in Japan if you also have a sweet tooth like me 😜🍦

This is a must try and highly recommended if you are going to do a food crawl along Asakusa area or just looking for a light snack. The bread has a crunchy outer layer with the right amount of sweetness. Then the inside is light and airy which is contrast to its exterior. You can have it as is or with soft serve icecream in its center. There will be another queue if you opt for the latter.

Little line however well worth the wait! The best melon pan I have eaten. It was warm and crispy, paired well with the matcha icecream.

Warmly welcomed by staff and well taken care of throughout the meal. Staff provided great wine recommendation and were attentive. Food was delicious & there was a lot of food…my only wish is that we could have slowed down just a bit between courses. Very impressed by this experience and will return!

This is a Michelin star restaurant located in Ebisu, Japan that everyone should visit at least once in their life. This well-known world restaurant is famous for its creative fusion of classic French fine dining cuisines. It also provides guests with luxurious presentations and top-notch tasting feasts. We had the menu A course meal. Every dish was exceptional and stunning. The chef used lots of colorful flowers to make the food more luxurious and delicious. The full-color dishes with their fragrances were too beautiful to eat. You can experience the chef's exquisite skills and artistic aesthetics. Every dish is like a piece of artwork. Since it is a high-end restaurant. It is best to choose a special date like an anniversary for dining so that both parties will enjoy the day. By the way, this wasn’t my recent dining experience but a previous experience. I hope this helps for someone who wants a fancy dining experience.

Amazing food! The presentation of each dish was unique and the flavors was just delicious.

Probably one of the better value 2 star Michelin. Food was generally good. Really the best mash potato on earth and the other dishes was well made. Service staff could have been slightly better with the arrangements but their somm was top notch. Special shout out to him. Super friendly and treated us to some complimentary wines. Engaged with him in some blind tasting session as well. Good man. He even took the trouble to bring me to the wine shop downstairs.

As international tourists this restaurant was absolutely Stellar. Seeing many ingredients that are not readily available in our home country was outstanding in terms of exploring new flavours. The presentation was impeccable. The service on welcome and departure was top-notch. I would definitely visit here again. The restaurant was definitely up to standard compared to Other Joel Robuchon restaurants that I have tried other countries.

Amazing experience. From the second we entered, the staff were so kind, attentive and thoughtful. They spoke some french with us, and were kind enough to take a photo and print two copies of it so we can keep it as a memory. The food was outstanding, served on time and decorated to perfection. The anniversary cake surprise was great, and they were kind enough to pack it for us to take home. Can't wait to visit again!

We were at the Tokyo Photographic Art Museum for their latest exhibition when we saw a stunning French Château across from the museum. We took a look and discovered it houses 2 Joel Robuchon restaurants. La Table was fully booked that day. Our holiday plans were to sample only Japanese cuisine. But we decided to make a reservation for the following Monday and made the long commute back for lunch. It was the right decision. A very impressive Ikebana flower arrangement stands at the entrance of the restaurant. The waiter was amazing and very friendly. He guided us through the set lunch menu and helped select the food that suits our dietary constraints. He told us the La Table serves French casual dining, and they have a 3 Michelin star sister restaurant (Château Restaurant, Joel Robuchon) on the upper floor. The presentation of the food was a work of art, and the food, fresh and delicious. The waiter also took the time to explain each of the dishes that we were eating. The ambience of the restaurant was great with the tables well spread out. The service was excellent and we thoroughly enjoyed our meal. There is also outdoor seating where you can bring your pets. The chef can even prepare a tasting menu for your pet. Do note that the restaurant requests that men wear a collared shirt.

They have to learn what a Croque Monsieur is when they put it on the menu with no pictures. To charge 2000¥ for this is a joke. The service is getting worse. The sizes smaller. I would not advise it anymore as it is overpriced and kins of a joke a food.

Hugely Disappointed! Le Pain serving stale, day old croissants - at full price. Never before @ Le Pain worldwide experience this. This is Tokyo … where fresh, expected! Very friendly service but shocked by a tasteless, stale croissant. Unacceptable . Please, be honest with customer: Day Old _ 1/2 Price” Or don’t sell.

The best bread in Tokyo. They also have very authentic pain au chocolat. I had a tartine with chicken, mushrooms and Gruyere. The hot chocolate was also good, thick and dark, but the quantity was deplorable - it comes with a cup of milk into which you re supposed to pour the chocolate, but there is at least 6 times as much milk then the chocolate.

Amazing restaurant. The atmosphere feels like a home in the countryside of France. The food is healthy and great portions for the price. It is a bit pricey but honestly it's well worth it. Surprisingly the best bread I've had and it's in Japan haha. :)

Spacious, Cozy and lovely food:) early morning is the best time to relax ☺️ you can see the Tokyo tower from this cafe! No wifi, no charge your phone

Very nice, relaxing place for breakfast. We had a pain au chocolat, a ham and cheese croissant, an iced mocha and a raspberry lemonade. The atmosphere was nice, and the service was friendly. We enjoyed our time here while we planned our day

We had a croissant and a berry muffin with coffee....delicious.

Delicious pastries; you must love butter to truly appreciate. There is a wonderful little fountain plaza to enjoy the pastries in and take well lit photos (see pictured).

This place sells pastries made using French butter. Not too sweet, the pastries are great tasting if you are a butter fan. This place sells freshly baked stuff, and may not have some items which are sold in other branches across Japan.

Reached after 3pm so most of the items are gone but luckily the financier and madeleine was still available. Great buttery smell and light crispy sort of texture. Fresh ingredients so a short 3 days shelf life. The whole shop smells amazing the moment you pushed open the door. The huge medeleine looks interesting

My first time trying financier and madeleine. Not good at explaining LOL. A very popular premium souvenir from Japan. Taste is good. Wangi banget.

Amazing quality. One of my favourite bakeries in Tokyo. A must visit.

Update (as of Sept 2024): Returned to this outlet as I was in the area in the afternoon and I have to say the service improved tremendously since there was no queue. I bought two financiers, one croissant and one madeline and all were scrumptious. I will come back to buy more items. Previous review: Came by to get some croissants around 11:15am and luckily, they weren’t sold out yet. There is a queue to pay and the customer service person didn’t inform me when she handed me the number…I went to the counter to pay but a rude local man stood next to me in a brisque manner, cut me off and handed over his number and card. It turned out I was the rude one for cutting the line when it was actually his turn to pay. Please inform your foreign customers your store policy so we don’t end up looking like uncouth fools. On another note: the financiers were buttery and tasty. Note: My review was originally posted in Sept 2023.

Though I like everything butter, their baked goods that I’ve tried (madeleines, financiers, big square cookies, pastries, slice of pound cake)seem to have only one note: butter. The experience of eating them become a little boring. Maybe I shouldn’t buy so many! : )) There were no lines when I got there in the late afternoon. BTW Google Maps took me around and around blocks before I could find the place. I think it’s because of the high-rise buildings inhibiting the signals. I didn’t double check my orders and found out later that the clerk there had added in the bag a tin box of the big cookies I didn’t order. I’ll return to buy a slice of their chocolate pastries, though. ; )

I’ve been here a few times since 2020 and it never misses! It went viral on tiktok one or two years ago? So sometimes there’s a queue 🥹 the toaster idea is so fun! And my family and I always takes a loaf of bread home on the last day of our trip! The cheese toast and French toast is always sold out when we come 🥹 so you should go earlier!! My personal favourite is the fruit sandwich!! The shrimp inside the shrimp sandwich is always fresh and bouncy! The milk there is great too!

Tried this place out on a weekend at noon and had no wait. There is some charm in picking out the toaster for the table. The toast set was good with the different butters and jams they provide. We ordered their seasonal fruit sando which happened to be shine muscat grapes which was quite tasty. The price is a bit high for what you get but it's definitely an experience worth trying once.

What a lovely breakfast spot! You can choose from different types of toast and even get your own toaster at the table to make it just the way you like. The bread was super fresh I had the Japanese bread, which didn’t need toasting, and it was amazing. We also tried the cheese toast, which was delicious. The different butters and jams were so good too. We loved it !

As someone who lived in Japan for nine years, I found the dine-in experience here to be below average. I speak fluent Japanese, and from the moment we walked in, I sensed that the staff lacked genuine warmth and professionalism. The fit-out was also very basic — it felt cheap and didn’t live up to the brand’s image. The shokupan and jam set were certainly enjoyable, but again, the overall setup felt underwhelming. The table was also too small to comfortably accommodate everything. The French toast was far too sweet — I couldn’t even manage a second bite. Overall, I would highly recommend purchasing the shokupan for takeaway (this can be done next door), rather than dining in.

Centre The Bakery in Ginza only sells shokupan (Japanese milk bread), and it’s kind of a big deal. They’re known for letting you toast the bread yourself at the table using your choice of toaster. I skipped the DIY and decided to buy a loaf to bring back home instead—toast at home, same vibes! But I also couldn’t resist ordering the French toast… which showed up massive and had me questioning my life choices 😅 Still, it was insanely good—soft, buttery bread that melts in your mouth, paired with cold ice cream. I didn’t finish it, but no regrets.

Their cafe was decent but the French toast is another level !!! It is probably one of the best French toast that I’ve ever had😭😭😭 We went there on a weekday in the late afternoon and there’re no line. Would def recommend this place after a long day of shopping around GINZA:)

It’s 10/10 best break fast I went to in Tokyo it’s a must I do love the details in this restaurant concept it’s clean and the staff are very friendly and polite the menu is simple 👌🏻 🥰 I would recommend this place 100% if you visit Tokyo with the toasts you never say no hope the food quality stay the same well done CENTER bakery Must try food : 1 - egg and chease toast 2 - French toast 3 - sugar and butter 4 - egg toast 5 - shrimp toast

Classy as expected. The coffee was ok. The cake was good. However, several cakes and sweets were sold out by 4PM. The sitting area is nice, but the place felt a bit dark. The best place to sit is by the window, as the view is beautiful. However, when we asked for a window table, they told us it is reserved for the full day, despite having 2 window tables free, and nobody sat in them tell 05:00PM. Even for a normal table you need a reservation, you can easily sign up at the main counter, you’ll just scan a QR code and fill in the info.

Great high tea, with a view of down town Ginza. The sweet side of the high tea was excellent, but the savoury sandwiches were bland and a bit dry. I ordered the hot chocolate with my high tea and it was rich and delicious. I highly recommend this place, but there was to book and there was a bit of a wait to get in. Also it’s worth noting that the high tea is only served before 18:00pm.

Staff is very kind. Food and drinks are good. Duck was uneatable for me, so I left the whole on the plate but the source was good. When you arrive on time, you will have a chance to seat near the window.

We love macarons so we didn’t doubt to go to Laduree in Ginza! They have shop and cafeteria so you can order to go or eating whatever you want there, the cafeteria has good views to ginza streets. We went twice, the first day we order to go and the second day we wanted to have a nice lunch there and how was our surprise that the cafeteria was full and the staff told us that if we want to eat inside we should wait in a corridor outside the restaurant (you can see the pics) after seeing this we left

Inside light is kind of dark and crowded. Feels like the air ventilation is not good. However, it is in the Mitsukoshi department store and LADUREE so it gives you good feeling to take a break there having sweets and tea.

Everything here is very aesthetic including the desserts, unfortunately we weren’t able to eat in the shop as it was fully booked but I saw empty tables. We took the peach dessert and the Marie Antoinette macaron back at our stay. The macaron was just I would give it a 3/5 and the peach dessert was good but it had a lot of cream 4/5.

The location is just perfect, but if you want the window-side seats, prior reservation is recommended. The ambience is really lovely with pastel hues and Parisian wallpaper. I tried their autumn special Marron parfait which was really flavourful and fluffy. Overall, a cute place to hang out with your girlfriends.

They used to allow you to go see the lounge. However this time we approached and were asked how many in our party. We said 6. They suddenly told us that only 3 were allowed up at a time and the other 3 would have to wait. So 3 of us started behind while being watched by an employee. Meanwhile we saw many groups of people (who were also just visiting) go up with their entire group. Not sure why we were targeted but it didn't feel good. The lobby and hotel itself are beautiful. You just might not be treated well if you're picked on like we were

This is an amazing place and I highly recommend you to visit it. We have been here on dinner only and had great experience. Food was good, dessert and drinks as well. View from the restaurant is very nice, as you can see great parts of Tokyo. It looks pretty romantic during the night time. Everything is very well maintained here and it looks like they are paying attention on every detail.

Great hard product. Concierge needs big improvement to be useful to guests. To me, Aman's core value prop is absolute peace of mind. Every little life-detail is handled seamlessly so you can truly focus on what matters. I stayed at Aman Tokyo for over a week on a work trip, and the hard product was nothing short of spectacular. The base room is easily among the largest in Tokyo, with an interior design and stunning skyline views that combine to give an incredible sense of the location (a rarity among increasingly bland global chains). It certainly made me *feel* like I was in the heart of a metropolis. The room itself was spacious enough to host a small group comfortably, with a thoughtful seating area and well-curated amenities. Room service was solid and consistently good. Breakfast was an absolute highlight. I stuck with the Japanese set and added fruit on the side. Invited a group of friends over last minute no issues - plenty of seating. After noticing I enjoyed mangoes, the restaurant team began adding a plate of cut mango to my meal every morning without me asking. This is classic Aman intuitive service. The gym was excellent: well-equipped, always quiet, and a joy to use. I was able to keep my routine effortlessly. I also swam three times during my stay, and the pool was similarly serene and uncrowded. The main letdown, however, was the concierge. They mishandled a reservation date and couldn’t secure tables at the high-end sushi spots I requested. I ultimately had to rely on a private concierge service for one reservation and even DM'ed a chef directly on Instagram for another. I was left feeling pretty frustrated having to coordinate all this ahead of my trip. At a lesser property, this would be forgivable, but at a 6-star hotel, where convenience and seamless access are the very things you’re paying for, it’s a serious miss. For me, this was a significant strike against the otherwise stellar experience.

Having a wonderful time here. Immaculate and on point rooms, service quality is excellent as would be expected! Special shout out to Niccolo Brachelente at Arva, while service here is expected, he goes beyond the expected. He’s super attentive and proactive, anticipating our needs even before we began to ask for anything. An example, would be my wife having a slight sniffle and a tissue box appeared soon. My coffee getting cold and a fresh cup appeared immediately. He sets a very good example for the other staff to emulate. Am truly appreciative of his efforts and also of course the rest of the team here.

Incredible hotel with impeccable service and breathtaking views. This is where you want to stay in Tokyo. Don’t forget a swimsuit so you can enjoy the stunning pool. Start your morning off with a soak in the onsen, 10 minutes in the steam room, and feel refreshed from the 30,000 steps you will surely walk in Tokyo each day.

Minimal, calm, and breathtaking. The views of Mount Fuji at sunrise are unforgettable, and the service is flawless. A true sanctuary in the sky.

Incredible- service was some of the best in the world, rooms are massive, the amenities are beautiful and the location can’t be beat. Their concierge team is also amazing helping us get reservations where there was no availability- only place I’d stay in Tokyo

First and foremost the cake is really over packed, but very safe. What I had wasn't great, the bottom caramel layer was tasty, but the top coffee layer overpowered everything. It tastes like they used too much instant coffee and it was bitter, exactly like a too strong instant black coffee. From the fancy atmosphere of the place and the aforementioned packaging I expected better.

Excellent artisan cakes, get in line at least 30 minutes before the opening. Most of the signature cakes aren’t allowed for takeaway. They also sell the cookbooks here

Located in the Ginza area. I would suggest to buy to take away as you have to order a drink for each person dining in and also the seats are limited plus the serving time is kinda long. The cakes are about 780 yen each and taste really really good.

The notorious Hidemi Sugino. Their cakes were hands down the best desserts I've ever had. Everything about the little mousse cakes was perfect, from the smooth texture to the balanced flavors. Their style is very subtle and delicate, so it's not for everyone, especially those who prefer sweet, in-your-face desserts. I went on a weekday afternoon and waited about 20 minutes for a seat. FYI they do require each person to order a drink (I recommend tea rather than coffee here) and their cakes are a bit smaller. With everything said, I found the quality of their desserts to be well worth the wait and the price.

Overrated. Cake is quite nice, but definitely not the best. Each cake costs around 700 yen. There are cakes that you can only eat inside. We tried Ambroisie and Diplomate. The Ambroisie is the most popular cake and you can only eat it inside the store. Rumor has it that they only make 10 per day. The taste different between the cakes and the drinks are heaven and earth. The drinks are so average and expensive. 740 yen per small cup. If you eat inside, you need to order drink per person. Feels like a rip off. Go on weekdays, less queue. We went on Thursday, there were only three ppl in front of us and we could eat the Ambroisie. No photo inside the store too.

AMAZING! Definitely the best chocolate mousse cake I ever had! It was worth the long wait. This chocolate mousse is for dine-in only. There are other cakes that you can order home. Everything is beautiful and really delicious.

Not too far from main street of Ginza area. The place is crowded with a queue that can go up to 1hour. The interior design is beautiful with a great color which fit perfectly the cakes. The price are mostly 780yen each. Not the best cake I ever ate in my life but we can say they have executed it well.

I've been frequenting this shop for four plus decades--and everything else surrounding the area has changed...as good as it gets, it used to have a more sit-down café component but those days are gone save for the breakfast items still available a la carte

I love it here. Their confectionary is simple and consistent but still splendid! I prefer a traditional cake place to hipsterish cafe. You can drink freshly-made juice, tea, coffee and soup (all-you-can-drink for about 700yen ).

Apple pie is so delicious. You can drink fresh fruits juice, hot chocolate, coffee and soup as much as you want with 700 yen.

Everything looked SO tasty! The treat I ended up getting was indeed very good.

Wonderful retro Showa style cake shop. The cakes are deliciously old school, the cream frostings are very dense and not too sweet. I’m always very satisfied to stop by to buy some desserts after having ramen at Menkou Ushio.

A very old fashion cake shop since 1884. Cake is not fancy, but very "pure". No extra ingredients. Pay 700 extra for all-you- can-drink, including fresh juice, coffee, vegetable soup. Well, still don't get it why cake with soup ?

Love it!! Very enjoy in the store. The cake not too fancy. the chef make the cake by traditional way. the skill attracted me can't wait the next time to visit it.

Limited seating with plastic utensils and paper plates. I always come here for their 2000 feuilles. Service is great.

Came here for the cake. Delicious and well made. We sat on the ground floor by the entrance where they have a limited number of seats by the window. We ordered 3 cakes, tea and coffee for about JPY4,000 in total. Each cake is about JPY1,000 each. The ground floor area mainly serves as a store for their cakes, biscuits, macarons and beverages. High quality food, with higher than average price range

Amazing Assiette Dessert place with stylish atmosphere. A bit upscale but will not regret its quality. 1F - you can buy and eat in classic Pierre Herme pastries on a small counter by the window. 2F - Assiette Dessert, which can only be enjoy here, is a must-try.

Just a drop in to satisfy our sweet tooth. Great service from the staff as usual, but the macarons somehow don’t taste as good as the ones we tried previously - still decent just not as good. Note: Hope it’s not me, but somehow I keep breaking the fork so please be careful if you have kids or clumsy adults.

(Long ago) one of my favorite macarons. Cute, smell nice and yummy. Many flavors. Good for a lovely gift or souvenir. I remember this is like a first place I try macarons.

My review is about Heaven on the second floor. First of all, the service was really good. Secondly, the degustation plate was surprisingly big, I didn't expect that. I think it is a great value for the money you pay. The ambiance is also very nice. I will be back. Definitely.

Really nice place. Maybe s little expensive, but the quality and atmosphere make up for it. The 2nd floor is a restaurant style dessert bar, while the 1st floor is more retail where you can buy the macaroons.

Had lunch here with colleagues. Ordered a full lunch set that came with a salad, a savoury crepe and a dessert crepe with a drink. The savoury crepe was a ham, mushrooms and cheese crepe. It was crispy and nice on the outside. The dessert crepe was a soft crepe with rum raisin ice-cream and sweetened chestnut paste. A very delicious and satisfying lunch that you could try both crepes.

A local suggested this so I went there for brunch. They have a cute little place with a French grocery store next to it. I had the Maraichere galette and it was very good. Its mandatory to buy a drink with your food here. So I had a juice. The staff is very polite and courteous. The place is decorated with interesting details and has a good vibe.

We had the seasonal crepes and omg, they were so good! Pricey but good. The server also chatted a bit with us, she was so nice and lovely!

Lovely little spot in a bustling neighborhood. We had soups (the seasonal special was the best), then each had a savory buckwheat crepe and a sweet crepe. We've been to Breizh Cafe in Paris and this was very similar in quality. Staff was friendly. The drink requirement is weird. We got glasses of cider.

Authentic Italian food with amazing flavors! The galette with prosciutto and mozzarella was delicious and beautifully presented. The honey apple cider was super refreshing — even great for someone who doesn’t usually drink. Staff were warm and friendly. Highly recommend!

Return customer 2-3 times, food is consistently delicious! Somewhat loud inside since the vibe is lively, but for me it was a little difficult to have a conversation.

Super cute place serving deliciously authentic crepes from Bretagne (beautiful region of France. Definitely worth a visit) We came around 13:30 and we're seated immediately without a reservation. We both had lunch sets. I had salad + mushroom crepe + cappucino and my friend had salad + soup (pumpkin) + mushroom tomato crepe + iced cafe au lait. We were both super happy with our choices. Everything was delicious, the staff is lovely and the owner is French. We sat outside on the patio, but there is indoor seating if you prefer.

Very disappointed with this cafe. Went for lunch today after reading good review about their artisan bakeries. However the waiter served our scone (the last one left) to another customer by mistake (and it’s really weird to see a customer eating something that she didn’t order). We ordered nicoise sandwich which was very dry and the bread didn’t taste artisan at all. Ice coffee was ok. When paying the bill, the cashier tried to charge for the scone despite the fact that the waiter had wrote a note that the order was cancelled. After going to many cafes in Tokyo, I observed that neighborhood cafe seems to have bother better service and food. I think this cafe is more for tourists.

Without a doubt- the quality of the bread and pastries is very high! Most of the breads we tried were excellent; especially the sesame cheese boule and the black chilli dog which was very surprising. The service is a bit lackluster and took forever. It took almost 10 minutes for them to just heat up the breads we picked up- I don’t know why it should take so much time. Also servers looked confused and overwhelmed. But the quality is great and the vibe of the neighborhood is so fun. Price is not cheap but you might say that the quality is worth it. I think it’s a great place to pick up and eat somewhere else.

So pleasantly surprised! The breakfast set was delicious, very good bread and REAL French butter, and nice salad too. Great coffee. Friendly staff, open early. Glad I finally tried it.

The food was good, and coffee as well. However, the service is very inefficient. We arrived and wrote our names in the board, to be seated either inside or outside. There were empty tables outside and everyone else wanted to be seated inside. But since no one from the café actually checked outside for almost 30 minutes, we were waiting anyway.

Super cool and casual! The french toast was soft and flavorful. It needed no syrup but they provide honey just in case. The interior is a retro style so it’s pretty fun.

Excellent patisserie with great espresso! Well worth a visit. Outstanding croissant and good breakfast sets. Get the panini or pastry on the way out for later - you won’t regret it.

Felt the staff is racist. I wrote my name and waited in the out side seating area as the cafe was full. Somehow they allowed a Japanese lady while she was writing her name. When I asked, they said wait for the next availability while there was a table seat available. If this happened to a Japanese customer the treatment would be different. Then I left and found a better cozy restaurant just 1 min walk away named Racines Aoyama . Highly recommend that restaurant.

Charming shop with a beautifully arranged selection of bread and pastries. The display is inviting, and the variety of options makes it hard to choose. The staff was friendly, spoke English, and offered helpful recommendations, including their bestselling Croccan, the delicious apple crumble, and a soft, flavorful bread made with Hokkaido milk. The space is a little tight when it gets crowded. If you're in the area and love quality baked goods, definitely worth a visit.

Went here about noon on a Thursday in mid-June. I probably missed rush hour as it was not packed, but a few patrons were about. One of the counter people spoke English well and made it easy to order. They also provided ice packs for the cheesecake as the weather as already war. Nice selection of baked goods. A little spendy but comparable to other mid-range bakeries.

A beautiful bakery store next to Yoyogi Park, with fresh baked delicious bread and pastries. I tried many things there, chocolate bun, cheese bun, cannelle, all amazing good quality and delicious.

This bakery is excellent, with many different kinds of bread. There quality is wonderful and they are very attentive to all details, but they need to put signs in English on their products as it’s written only in Japanese and there are many foreigners in this area. Also instead of taking what you like into a tray they have you tell the staff what u want and they put it for you, which makes service very slow in my opinion…

Fantastic little bakery! Delicious pastries - I had a cheese, ham & asparagus croissant that was delicate, flaky and delicious. Their cold brew coffee is smooth and refreshing. I also like the little gift section where they sell various condiments, coffee beans etc. Staff are very friendly too. Would highly recommend a visit!

Treat yourself with some delicious bread and pastries from here! Super friendly staff as well. If only this was a proper café with seating, that would be great!

Absolutely high quality breads and pastries. Really at the level of European bakeries. Prices are a bit higher and reflect the quality of the ingredients. Really a jewel you often have to patiently wait in line for. Japanese style 😉 About 6 counter seats where you can enjoy your sweets and add coffee or tea. One of the formidable places in Yoyogikoen area. From now on Payment with SUICA card also available

Very friendly. Consistently good taste and excellent quality since over two decades, during which my wife and I used to go there to this “Factory” on a daily basis as neighbors living very close. Our special favorite then was their “Pain de campagne”. BTW, we happened to see a YouTube video clip posted just a few days ago by a YouTuber “Kikkake” and its title was “Three consecutive holidays to make a leisurely breakfast. A happy time spent with warm soup and bread. daily life, breakfast.” To our surprise, at around 6:20-23, we noticed the following subtitles“Buns from a bakery called FACTORY in Kudanshita Tokyo, which is a bit far (for me). Nonetheless, I go there to buy it, because it’s so delicious !”

One of my favourite bakeries for so many reasons. Let's start with the bread. The. Bread. I love bread, and this bread is exceptional. So incredibly soft and enjoyable to eat, I could eat it all day. The Cafe area has a comfortable and somewhat cosy vibe. A very cute interior. I also got the soup of the day and sausage in a roll. The soup was so flavoursome and I ate it with the bread that I was served upon sitting down. I got some bagels to take away, sweet and savoury. The texture was perfect, a little bit chewy and dense, but still soft. The service was fantastic and staff were friendly and inviting.

This bread shop provides nice lunch options. Today, Cuban sandwich & quiche plate were on the menu, it comes with free refill of mixed bread (campagne, bagel, baguette) which is very satisfying

Cute, industrial design, little bakery. They have a solid, carbs-heavy breakfast for 750¥. Lunch is also quite nice, with a selection of either soup+sandwich or quiche/pizza+salad. The staff is very nice as well.

Lunch plate is "okay" (very typical Japanese style). The morning set and baked goods though are excellent. Especially try the french toast. Summary: go in the morning...or takeaway breads and toast at home!

very good friendly service. They gave me iced tea while I was waiting outside as it was super hot today and I was sweating hard. best fluffy and rich taste quiche I had in Tokyo. Salad and sides were pretty healthy tasting too

Decent weekday lunch set in a cosy environment. Bread, soup, quiche and sandwich are all delicious. The only downside is latte. Too much milk, too little coffee.

I had lunch course (2,000yen; appetizer & main only). The food was delicious. I really enjoyed the decorations of each plate.

appetizer was merely okay, but the main was lovely. the lunch set was 1950 yen, and included a drink. I would visit again, but not frequently due to the price.

One of my favourite French restaurants in town. From the appetisers to the main to the desserts - everything is very authentic, especially ingredients like mushrooms that I’ve never seen anywhere else in Japan! Lunch time on the terrace is really nice.

This restaurant is really great! I am french and can tell you the food is really up to what we have there. The service is amazing and the staff is really friendly. I can only recommend to go there. You won’t be disappointed

It definetely makes you feel like in France. Excellent but expensive dishes, friendly staff but not very attentive staff with limited English and great selection of cheeses! I really loved the atmosphere and the food, so I wish the staff could improve the experience.

Just amazing food and great service , very relax and cozy atmosphere A must in Kagurazaka 🥰

Authentic French bistrot - friendly atmosphere and welcoming bilingual staff (French Japanese) - a lot to choose from the menu. Highly recommended for casual lunch. Je reviendrai ! 😉

No. 4 Café may look like an unassuming single level building in the bustling city of Tokyo, but it was already crowded even on a Monday morning at 9am. When I arrived, I took a queue number and noticed that there were already 6 groups ahead of me. Since I was dining alone, I selected the option to sit anywhere, including outdoors. It did not take long before a waiter guided me to an outdoor seat. Orders were placed conveniently by scanning a QR code. I ordered the French Toast Combo Set together with a cup of iced Americano. The food was served within 15 minutes and looked absolutely fantastic. The French toast came with a variety of sides, which allowed me to mix and match different ingredients to create unique flavour combinations with each bite. Overall, it was a hearty breakfast that was both delicious and beautifully presented. This is definitely a café that should not be missed if you are in Tokyo.

We got here around 8:30am and put our names on the list. It was about a 35 minute wait. When we got seated, they did have an English menu so really easy ordering process, and our server was so sweet. I ended up getting a coffee and though I do not remember the name, I remember it was delicious. For the main show I got the French toast breakfast it came with a fried egg and this whipped butter that was to die for!

The French toast is moist, and the seasoning is not overly sweet at all. Both the bread and the dipping sauce are delicious. I highly recommend the brunch here ✨

This café offered a very pleasant experience overall. I had a warm café latte, which was creamy, rich, and perfectly balanced. The portion was generous, and it had a deep, satisfying coffee flavor that made it a great start to the meal. For food, I ordered the homemade Caesar salad, which was prepared in a slightly unique style. It was not a standard Caesar salad, but it was very well executed. The lettuce was crisp and fresh, the dressing had a rich and tangy flavor, and the parmesan tied everything together beautifully. The croutons were crunchy and added a lovely texture. It was a refreshing and flavorful salad, and I would definitely recommend trying it when visiting the café. The second dish I had was a falafel plate served with flatbread, vegetables, and sauce. The falafel was slightly dry but still flavorful, and it had a nice spice mix. The grilled vegetables, especially the mushrooms and beetroot, were excellent and added great depth to the plate. The flatbread paired well with everything, and the sauce in the middle was the highlight. It was creamy, rich, and complemented the dish perfectly. The combination of all elements worked very well together, even if the falafel could have been a bit moister. The service was outstanding. The café is very well organized with a modern system. You order online using a QR code at your table, and for seating you get a waiting ticket from an iPad. The staff works quickly, efficiently, and with great coordination. Everyone seemed focused and genuinely dedicated to their work, which gave the place a very professional but friendly atmosphere. The ambiance was charming and comfortable, with a warm and relaxed feeling. The space was nicely designed and felt welcoming. Overall, this café offers great food, excellent service, and a pleasant environment.

Worth the Wait? Stepping into the bustling heart of Tokyo, we found ourselves drawn to a highly-raved bakery cafe, a spot promising artisanal delights. The aroma of freshly baked bread wafted through the air, a tantalizing invitation that, unfortunately, came with a significant caveat: a 1.5-hour wait. Yes, you read that right – ninety minutes spent anticipating our brunch (originally breakfast). Once seated, the experience took a turn for the visually spectacular. From the delicate pastries adorned with fresh berries to the meticulously arranged savory toasts, it was clear that the chefs here possess an incredible eye for detail, turning simple ingredients into Instagram-worthy masterpieces. However, when it came to the actual taste, our expectations, perhaps inflated by the long wait and the visual feast, were met with a more moderate reality. The food was, in a word, "alright." While certainly not bad, it didn't quite reach the heights of culinary excellence that the presentation suggested. The flavors were pleasant, but lacked that distinctive "wow" factor that would justify such a lengthy queue. Adding to this, I couldn't help but feel that the prices leaned towards the higher side for what was offered. While Tokyo is known for its premium dining experiences, the slight disconnect between the "alright" taste and the "beautifully presented, slightly overpriced" tag left me pondering the overall value. The Verdict: If you're someone who prioritizes aesthetics and doesn't mind a considerable wait for a picturesque meal, this bakery cafe might just be your cup of tea (or coffee!). The ambiance is charming, and the food is undeniably photogenic. However, if your primary goal is an unforgettable culinary experience that justifies both the wait and the price tag, you might find yourself, like us, leaving with a feeling of "it was good, but..."

Maybe the best French toast in Japan 🥰 Been coming years now They got super soft and fluffy French test from their brioche bread baked on site Doesn’t even need syrup! Just solo or with the butter They do have a seasonal French toast that changes monthly. Be warned ‼️ this place went viral on social media so expect a LONG wait. Especially on weekends. Waited 2-3 hours in past. Ngl this is main reason I don’t come often 🤣 Thankfully they’ve added a ticketing system No line usually before closing. Last order is at 8:30pm Place can be pretty noisy btw 10/8 update came for 🎃 pumpkin French toast. Was great but know they’ve raised prices a bit 🫠

You want to go there early. Even before the store hours, people are lining up already. Limited items on menu but what they offer is very very good! Cozy atmosphere and definitely recommended!

I love the olive bread here! Even though it’s a tiny place with minimal seating outside all good are baked on the premises! The few things I’ve tried have me coming back with every visit to Tokyo!

Great balance of flavors along with the perfect chew. Tokyo knows how to do bread. Salt butter roll - different from the Korean and milk bread salt butter rolls. Chewier along with a crispier crust. Sausage bread - bratwurst sausage w mustard. Not heavy at all. Pineapple and coconut galette- crust was baked to perfection and the flavors complimented each other. Chocolate babka- not too sweet. No need to pair it w coffee. No wait on an early Sunday morning. You can order bread and eat it on the terrace. Good place to enjoy the morning and people watch.

Beautiful outdoor seating area. A short wait to be seated as a single diner, very reasonable. Simple food but well flavored. 95% locals which is nice. The electronic seating and ordering system makes this very western friendly despite being a local spot. The onsite bakery is fantastic and I would recommend grabbing something to go as well.

There are so many unique baked goodies compared to a usual neighbourhood bakery. The prices also aren't that high. I got myself a bagel, the special donut and some rye bread. We can buy and sit out on what they call "terrace seating", which is basically just an open air seating arrangement.

The olive bread here is criminally good. I come here every time I come to omotesando.

The olive bread is the best ever! Great food and place. Nice river view for a relaxing breakfast. Highly recommended to go there and walk along the river afterwards .

This is a cool little outdoor spot I usually hit-up when I'm in Omotesando and craving something other than Japanese food. The menu is pretty good, includes gourmet salads, sandwiches, pancakes, bread, etc...as well as a Craft Beer menu. Menu is both English and Japanese. The staff speak English. The whole restaurant is non-smoking. On the weekends it tends to be crowded so expect to wait. Put your name on the waiting list as soon as you arrive. The majority of seating is outdoor, dress appropriately according to the weather. The atmosphere is casual and has very cool vibe, especially in the warmer months. CICADA shares the same property, so that is also an option. One of my favorite combo plates here is the Avocado Turkey Sandwich with Canadian bacon and a Craft Beer as well as any salad accompanied with basket of bread. That basket of bread is addicting! Anyways, this place I definitely recommend and you will definitely be satisfied.

The coffee was excellent, and the pastries were enjoyable overall, though the cheese bread was a bit too tough. The place itself is lovely, with a great location.

Bread and Tapas SAWAMURA NISHIAZABU TOKYO Dinner is also recommended It’s bakery restaurant. Tapasus dishes that go well with wine are a staple of Spanish restaurants in my part of Hong Kong. If you have ever heard that Japanese bread is delicious, you should try the bread here. Because, as far as I know, it is the best bread in Japan, and the reason is that you can eat it every day. The food goes well with wine, plus good bread, so it is very satisfying. The atmosphere is more like coming with family or friends, but since there is a counter, there are probably many customers who come alone. When I visited the restaurant, it was empty, but I recommend making a basic reservation to visit the restaurant. On this day, I came to Tokyo right after arriving from Hong Kong without having eaten anything, so I asked for a little too much. （笑）

I came here in January 2020 and had the most unexpectedly good latte I’ve ever had (the honey cinnamon latte). I came back 3 years later and it’s just as good! Pastries were also delicious—I had a butter croissant and cinnamon roll. The croissant was phenomenal and paired amazingly with an iced honey cinnamon latte. I highly recommend this cafe!

Stopped by in the afternoon to grab a coffee, and it was a moderate strength and OK. It was quite quiet and the atmosphere was nice to be able to catch up with a friend or do some reading in a quiet, clean and modern cafe. We didn't try any food, but the menu seemed to serve Italian fusion food.

Tried their Norwegian salmon and honey caramel latte for lunch. Good food and service! They also serve a complimentary bread basket and they have a wide selection of pastries as well.

I easily liked this place, its more of a european concept. Be sure to go there in the morning to get freshly baked pastries! I specifically liked the mushroom tartine, also the walnut bread with cream, plus of course their coffe.

A quaint bakery/breakfast spot, with the to go bakery goods served on the entry floor, and thr restaurant on the second floor up a long winding spiral staircase. We only went to eat at the restaurant, so this review will be about that experience. However, all the pastries and baked goods looked delicious. The breakfast sets all sounded great, and we settled for the toast set and french toast set. Both were filling, tasty, and enjoyable with the relaxing ambience. A bit pricier for breakfast, but that might be par for the course here in Tokyo.

Literally the best croissants I've ever eaten. I also had a matcha scone, which was equally incredible. But I'm going to focus this review on the croissants. This place always has a long line. It has a great reputation and it deserves it. Yesterday, I walked by in the late afternoon, just before they closed. No line, but only a few items left. I went in and bought some stuff. I ordered a plain croissant and a chocolate one. I didn't eat the chocolate one until the next morning, and it was still the best chocolate croissant I've ever had, even a day old. Yes, I've eaten croissants in Paris. These are better. They do everything that's amazing about how they make them in France, but leveled up. The exterior was delicate and flaky; it looks like it's going to be too crispy, like a hard crunch. But it's not, it's perfect. You bite through the crisp, buttery exoskeleton into layered, doughy, chewy deliciousness. It has the buoyant and tender mouth-feel of good high-hydration sourdough, but in thin laminated sheets. The butter coats your mouth. Then, there's just enough salt to enrich all the flavors. When I write a croissant review, I expect to talk about how one thing is featured. I might write something like, "this croissant is all about showing off high quality butter fat" or "nothing distracts from the perfect layered pastry dough." In this case, I can't. Everything is exceptional and emphasized in equal measure. You taste each component of a croissant, one after the other, like that flavor-changing candy in Willy Wonka. Finally, you'll meditate on the sum of parts, living in croissant bliss. I wish I bought more. I will go back. And I'm willing to wait in line, now. It's that good.

TOLO PAN • TOKYO ———— LOCATION———— 📍 3 Chome 14-3 Higashiyama, Meguro city Transportation: 4 mins walk from Metro ———— SUMMARY———— Clean: Tidy and clean Price: Reasonable price C. Preference : 🎈 🎈 🎈 🎈 🎈 Taste: Croissant—This freshly baked croissant I had was incredibly good, perfect crispy layers outside, buttery just right. Got my 2nd one right after for my afternoon tea. Salty bread— Slight chewy but still felt moist inside with crusty outside. The range of breads selection is impressive, hope that I can try other items on my next visit. Atmosphere: Wonderful neighborhood patisserie, really love this small local bakery in Meguro district . Went there on early morning for my breakfast. Take away only, as the bakery smell so good. I can’t wait to enjoy my 1st 🥐 outside the shop. And get my 2nd one right away., there’s already a line outside the shop, need to wait for 5-8mins to get back to the shop. Merchandise also available in the shop. Staffs are nice and friendly even I do not speak Japanese. Truly, Highly recommended if you visit Tokyo in that area. . #patisserie #tokyobakery #東京パン #東京パン屋 #voyages #tokyofoodie #tokyo2025 #tokyobread #tolopantokyo #tolo #tokyopatisserie #amazingjapan #tokyosummer #東京のパン屋マップ #のパン #solotraveller #lifewelltravelled #travellifestyle #foodporn #foodphotography #foodielovehongkong #hongkongfoodie #tokyoguide #hongkongfoodie #hongkongfood #hkfoodie #hkfood #cc_storybook

I had my best croissant so far in Tokyo. It may seem a bit over-baked for some, but it was really gorgeous. It was still hot when I had it. So crispy on the outside and you can smell it was made with real butter, which isn't the case in all the bakeries here in Tokyo. You can't imagine how happy I was when I finally had a real croissant after visiting quite a few bakeries here. The price is 390en but considering its size and quality material, it was really a good deal. I wish I could try other bread but I was full after one croissant. I will definitely come back! By the way, I don't recommend the donuts. At 420en and nothing special, not quite a good deal.

This might be the biggest croissant I had ever tried. It's a mixure of crunchy and chewy texture. I got full just eat one because of its buttery flavor. Setagaya baguette is also very unique which is spreading with goose butter outside and that makes aromatic savory. I highly recommend! :))

A nice little bakery found a bit further out from the busier Shibuya area. The staff were very friendly. I tried multiple items they offered and personally thought the curry bread was some of the best I found while in Japan.

The best cinnamon roll we’ve ever had in our lives hands down. It’s actually made me sad knowing that another cinnamon roll will never come close and I’ll never get to eat it again. 10/10 will ruin your life

Really good bakery, with lots of delicious options to choose from. The staff are wonderful and sometimes gift you with a sample of a baked good when you buy something! Tolo Pan offers great service and even though it’s a small bakery, it has a pleasant and welcoming atmosphere. I feel lucky to have found this place! In this picture I’ve uploaded, I used cheese on a slice of brown bread from a loaf I bought at Tolo Pan on the right hand side. On the left hand side, I have the curry pan (curry filled bread) which in my opinion, is the best curry pan I’ve ever tried! And it’s not too spicy in my opinion. You *might* be able to ask for a tester if you’re not sure about the spice level. Enjoy! @fashionmode

This is extremely tasty French patisserie near Hiroo st. I had never tried rocailles befrore and it was so legid! But my favorites are canele and financier which are full of rich butter flavor. :))

The food is good but very expensive. I had to ask for bread to eat with my quiche and salad.. and my God I was charged 500 yen for 2 tiny pieces of bread. Unbelievable.

Amazing place for good quality sweets

An exquisite chocolate, on the expensive side, but good chocolates don't come easy around here.

Crazy good bakery, expensive though.

(Translated by Google) This cake shop is located right next to Hiroo Station. It's spacious and has a wide selection of delicious looking cakes. I was interested in the strawberry cake called Petit Fermier, but this time I ordered the Millefeuille Praline Citron, which is my friend's favorite. It has a refreshing taste that's perfect for summer and is very delicious! The crunchy millefeuille pie crust and the refreshing cream with a citron scent go perfectly together. The tea was also very fragrant and very satisfying.

This bakery is just a wow. Priced cheaper compared to other bakeries nearby but taste way above the rest. The baguette crust reminded me of my Paris days. We had simple cheese sandwich and small chocolate filled baguette, simple but tasty. Coffee was good but it was not hot enough. We went during lunch time and had to sit outside (terrace) since we do not have to have lunch set. Lunch set customer can sit in the restaurant below. It was great day, no complain!

Very popular shop in the area. Always had a queue. I bought croissant and a short baguette. The croissant had a strange smell, I mean, I couldn’t smell the aroma of butter. The baguette was far from being good. I had to put some butter in to enjoy it when I got home. All in all, don’t hold a too high expectation.

Tabelog Award Bakery. All the pastries and bread we got were So so so gooooddd! Loved the mushroom panini, chocolate chausson, cherry tart, banh mi

I have my favorite croissant place in Paris, these guys can compete with them ;) the little sitting place outside was a bonus on a sunny day. Cash only

Incredible pastries and bread!! Perfect spot to sit outside and have coffee and enjoy the baked goods.

Great bakery! Very cute downstairs seating area.

I came across Katane Bakery while walking to Shimokitazawa back in 2018. During my last trip this past Oct.'23 my Airbnb host recommended it and I was surprised when I arrived that I had been there before! I had one of the best chocolate croissants on par with the best bakeries here in SF, CA. The small meringues were also excellent. As you can see I've already made short work of the croissant...

An amazing Melon Pan shop, a must visit if you are in the area. We were visiting Japan for the first time and it was out first Melon Pan, we have now tried many others and nothing is as good as the Melon Pan Factory.

Definitely above the average pastries!

(Translated by Google) I've been there many times because I can eat delicious sweet potato pie for only 100 yen, but the attitude of the female staff is the worst. The male owner who was there when I went there before? The clerk? He was a very friendly person, which was nice, but he was gone every time. Is it normal to not be able to say "thank you" at the end? By the way, even if you go there at 10 o'clock, they only sell one type of melon bread. Sweet potato pie seems to be ready at 12 o'clock, so it's late and I won't come unless I'm nearby. I like sweet potato pie because it's cost-effective and tastes great. I'm hesitant to go there because the staff's attitude is terrible. (Original) 美味しいスイートポテトパイが100円という値段で食べれるので何度も行っているが女性店員の態度が最悪。以前に行った際にいた男性オーナーさん？店員さん？はすごく愛想の良い方で良かったのだが毎回いない。最後に「ありがとうございます」も言えないって普通なんですか？ ちなみに10時に行ってもメロンパン1種類しか売ってない。12時にスイートポテトパイが準備できるようで時間も遅めだし近くにいることがなければ来ない。コスパと味が良くてスイートポテトパイ好きなんですがね。店員の態度が最悪なので行くのを迷う。

(Translated by Google) I always buy it. We recommend the chocolate melon! We also recommend the croissants! The soba vending machine is also cheap at 100 yen! (Original) いつも買ってます。 おすすめはチョコメロンです！ クロワッサンもおすすめです！ そばの自販機は100円で安いのも魅力ですね！

(Translated by Google) This shop is located about 5 minutes walk from Kachidoki Station. The big melonpan sign is the landmark. You can enjoy various melon breads. (Original) 勝どき駅から徒歩5分ほどの所にあるお店。 メロンパンの大きな看板が目印。 いろいろなメロンパンを楽しめます。

(Translated by Google) Visited on Friday around 10:30. It seemed to be on sale, so I bought 2 pieces of chocolate chip melon bread for 120 yen. (I intended to buy one, but ended up buying two without realizing it.) Melon bread was sold out. It's crunchy and very delicious. (Original) 金曜日10:30頃訪問。セールのようで、チョコチップメロンパンが120円、2個買いました。（一個のつもりでしたが、気づかず2個買ってました。） メロンパンは売り切れでした。 ザクザクでとても美味しいです。

(Translated by Google) Crunchy on the outside. A popular store with delicious melon bread that is soft and chewy on the inside. There are many different types, but personally, the ``plain'' type is the most delicious. (Original) 外がカリカリサクサク。中はふんわりもっちりで美味しいメロンパンの人気店。色々種類はあるが個人的には「プレーン」タイプが一番美味しい。

Overall, it's just satisfactory, but it's not worth the long wait in my opinion, especially if you're not nearby. Traveling specifically for this shop might not be that worth it. The quality of the bread can be inconsistent, depending on which type you choose. I visited twice and bought 6 pieces in total. 1 of them (ie the jalapeno one) is very good , another 3 are just okay. 3 of them are quite disappointing in my opinion including the cake, the mentaiko (めんたいこ) one and the pistachio one.

Incredible bakery. The smell brings you right in! Everything tasted fresh and handmade with care. The croissants and red bean bread were especially good — flaky, buttery, and worth the line. One of those small places that just nails quality.

I am from France and after 2 months of Japan, i was craving for Bread 🥖 🤣 so i checked on google map and found Beaver Bread. I did a homemade custom sandwich 🤣 was super good! I love it, almost cried.. Anyway, good bread! Thank you!

I regret only one thing - that we found this place that late and that we cannot repeat the visit. The place is very cute and offers a great variety of snacks. We selected 5 different ones and all of them were just perfect. I strongly recommend!!!!

Loved the spicy nut scone. The heat left a great taste. A bit on the drier side, best warmed up to moisten it I think. The sourdough and white bread were good, white bread especially - dense and with a firm bite, great for sandwiches. Deifnitely want to toast both. Cornbread is savory, would be perfect with more butter or some sweet spread. Cornbread and the not overly sweet scone seem worth going out of the way for. Also a bunch of other good looking things here even at 4pm. Also really nice looking pricy jams, I'll have to try in the future!

March, 2023 If you're in the mood for delicious bread, Beaver Bread in Higashi Nihonbashi is a great option. The bakery is small, cozy, and has a friendly atmosphere that will make you feel right at home. The bakery offers an impressive variety of bread, ranging from classic red bean buns to unique and inventive large campagnes. There's also a rotating menu of seasonal bread that adds something new for returning customers. March, 2023 The quality of the bread is exceptional, with each loaf and bun baked to perfection using high-quality ingredients and traditional techniques. You can taste the dedication and care put into each product, which has made Beaver Bread a beloved neighborhood bakery.

Very small corner store bakery offering variety of sweet and savory pastries and bread. There’s almost always a queue but it moves quickly. You can choose to eat the bread at the nearby cafe, but you must order a drink.

This bakery has very good bread, that’s for sure. I bought their best seller - salt butter roll. It was great. Cardamom bread was mediocre- it needs a little something more to it.

- Spinach Tartine (¥398): I had to eat this cold, so it could have tasted better, but it was still very good. The cheese was melted well, and the bread was soft with a crunchy crust. - White Truffle Salt Bread (¥278): I can see why this is the number one seller. The bread was so soft and airy, and the truffle taste was magnificent. Would get again.

The main store for the famous TRUFFLE Bakery that famous with Salt Bread (塩パン). The store only offer take out services, yet it is full with variety of options.

A must-visit for anyone who loves fresh bread and pastries with a gourmet twist. The moment you walk in, you are greeted by the rich aroma of truffle, which is the star ingredient in many of their creations. Their signature truffle salt bread is incredible, soft and fluffy inside with a crisp crust and a deep, earthy flavor from the truffle oil and salt. I also tried the truffle egg sandwich, which was creamy, fragrant, and absolutely delicious. Everything is beautifully presented, and you can tell a lot of care goes into each item. It is hard to leave without wanting to try one of everything, so come hungry.

My favourite would be the Salt Bread of White Truffle because you could really taste the truffle flavour and it was nicely salted too! Truffle flavour was lacking in the Egg Sandwich with Black Truffle but it was still very enjoyable as the eggs were pretty fresh. The Bean Paste Butter Sandwich (Version 2.0) was another gem because the baguette was so crispy! Absolutely loved the combi of red bean and butter too — so good. TLDR: Please do yourself a favour and visit this bakery if you can! Must orders for me are the Salt Bread of White Truffle and Bean Paste Butter Sandwich (Version 2.0). Instagram/TikTok: @smolbelly

i bought the ichiban ninki bread, salt and bread. it was really good i should boyght more :( its crunchy and chewy in the same time. what i like the line is also not long and its fast

The ‘Salt bread of white truffle’ deserves a perfect score of 10 out of 10. The bread’s texture is remarkably soft and fluffy, and the harmonious blend of salt and truffle creates a delightful flavor. I couldn’t resist and ordered six of them, which my wife and I promptly devoured. I highly recommend trying it; you won’t be disappointed.

Amazing delicious and perfect bakery! Super 5 star. Highly recommended.

Delicious

A Must visit to everyone around, A family bakery, grab all you can get and ask for more kinds that still waiting inside the kitchen Very very tasty, fresh, cheap Cash only And only 8 chairs to sit We sat there once and reloaded the table twice But the second time wasn't lucky, so we took away to the hotel room

Delicious local family bakery, Kazama chef is been making bread for over 50 years!

So welcoming and nice.

Old couple run bakery. Delicious breads and very friendly although they don't speak any English.

Very busy place,cash only

Meringue desserts were airy and a bit too sweet. The hazelnut one was my favourite as the nuts provided much needed crunchy texture.

tastes like biscuit that has been left in the air for long. very little matcha cream that was overly sweet and not fragrant. 420 yen.

First time. Simple just right sweetneeas. Love the chocolate flavor.

Wonderful bakery in Tokyo! The vanilla wafer and brioche brought back the comforting flavors of home. As expats living, it felt so good to taste something so familiar and delicious.

This is so authentic that I felt it's almost like traveling to Paris. Their meringue are so artistic and full of texture such as crunchy, melty and crispy! It's hard to choose from lots of types of sweet jewelry. The one thing you need to mind is the temperature. It's so fragile and melt easily. Waffle and pudding are much safer if you want to carry a few hours. :))

I went for the breakfast and i saw some reviews there was a line, so i went right at 9am. Thankfully, we were the first customer and we had a croissant and pain au chocolat. It was great, buttery. I think 700yen for this breakfast is a great deal. Also we had a caramel marveilleux and petit chocolate chip cramiques. Marveilleux was great, which I loved it. I will definitely visit again if i have chance!

Absolutely delightful patisserie in Kagurazaka. Great breakfast deal with a coffee and pastry. Pastries were fresh, delicious and coffee was good quality (I'm Australian and we are very fussy about our coffee). The team working at the store are so lovely. You must go.

A great little lunch place bakery, with some delicious savory and sweet selections.

Nice bakery. Not cheap but tasty baked goods. Mocha muffin was delicious, tasted just like mocha. Seasonal cherry pie was very good, too. Sauer and sweet, perfect combo. The baked tiramisu was tasty but I am not sure it tasted any thing like tiramisu, more like a brownie. Their lunch deals good look, too, haven't tried them yet, though.

Very nice and very delicious! I’ll be back

wonderful small shop but credit card is not

newspaper

(Translated by Google) This is a bakery in Hanzomon. In addition to bread, they sell a variety of other things like salads. They also have pies and other items. The pumpkin salad and croque monsieur were delicious. The bread is delicious, but it's also a good place to go when you want something other than bread. (Original) 半蔵門のパン屋さんです。 パン以外に、サラダなど色々なものも売ってました。 パイなどもありました。 カボチャのサラダと、クロックムッシュが美味しかったです。 パンも美味しいですが、パン以外にも食べたい時によいですね。

(Translated by Google) They accept cashless payments, including contactless payment. I visited on a weekday at lunchtime. They have several lunch sets, and also takeout items that are served quickly. The photo shows a takeout set of your choice of sandwich, today's deli, and sweets for 1,200 yen. Not only was the portion size impressive, but I was also impressed by how delicious the bread itself was. The tortilla (Spanish omelette) is also delicious, and the bread is topped with a delicious sauce? Or tartar? that made it all the way to the end. If you're in the area, I highly recommend giving it a try. (Original) タッチ決済含むキャッシュレス使えます。平日お昼時に伺いました。 いくつかランチセットがあり、すぐ出てくる持ち帰りの商品もありました。 写真は持ち帰りの、選べるサンド＋今日のデリ＋お菓子セット1200円です。 このボリュームもさることながら、パン自体がめちゃくちゃ美味しくて感動しました。 またトルティージャ(スペインオムレツ)も美味しいのですが、パンに美味しいソース？タルタル？がかかっていて最後まで美味しく食べることができました。 お近くの方は是非試して欲しいです。

The patisserie shop own by Aman Tokyo in the B2 of the building. We booked for the Saint-Honoré as birthday cake which is a kind of French pastry dessert named for the French patron saint of bakers and pastry chefs.

Cake was good but not worth the price, did not wow us at all. Ordered the cheese cake and the chocolate cake. Service was good, greeted by 5 people. We went past the hotel what a stunner but the patisserie spot does not reflect the luxury feel of the hotel. We are sitting in the common area of the mall on tall stool chairs served with plastic spoons and takeaway cups for our teas.

I have really enjoyed this Cafe in Tokyo. They sell delicious cakes and have great service and you can see a chef making cakes in through a giant window on the side of the cafe. They have kind staff and let me take photos

Gorgeous patisserie, but the overall five star experience is reduced by rude service. Being refused such a basic thing as water at this price level is quite surprising, not to mention trying to saw through the cake base with a flimsy plastic fork. I think proper utensils and the normal complimentary water would elevate the place. Pity since the store screams posh and the food is definitely superb.

The caramel cream puff is so good! It actually has the bitter taste of caramel and not just brainlessly sweet. I’m blown away.

Nice store but neither my croissant and cappuccino were great. The croissant was average and the cappuccino too hot. The kind of hot you have to wait several minutes before drinking it. Not cheap for the quality.

I usually go to this place every time I go to Tokyo. They have nice quality breads & cakes. On this visit i was sold stale items. Obviously they were a day or two old. Very disappointed. Also the staff are cold, unfriendly & act like they hate their job. Very nasty bad attitude staff.

What a delicious pastry! Finally, "coffee to go" was not filled with boiling water and could be drunk during a walk. Buns and rolls are very tasty, really good recipe. The cafe is small and cosy, and the baker bakes here with a soul. Thank you!

Best German Bread „Mischbrot“ we found so far in Tokyo. The „Walnuss-Honig-Brötchen“ are amazing, too. The price for Brötchen, Cake etc is actually not that bad but the price for bread is hefty (however - if you have cravings probably worth it). We‘ll be back :)

Small but a good place for bread and coffee. Their pretzel was great.

Small and decent German bakery by Japanese famous professional tennis player Kimiko Date. You can enjoy authentic pretzels and other German bread. I also love their fresh salad.

Decent German bread selection. Not comparable with the real deal however. Pretzels are small and not very fresh. Taste wise ok.

Living in this area for years but never knew about this bakery. Most people do to go since they have quite limited space in the shop. Loved it so much! Will be back soon:)

Nice bakery and good coffee. The bread is not only German style. They also have a nice selection of 'fusion bread's...

We wandered in on one of those Tokyo days when the sun feels like it’s trying to grill you on medium-high. By the time we reached la kagū, we were a bit wilted, sweaty & frankly not looking like the kind of glamorous customers you see in lifestyle magazines. And yet, the staff welcomed us with genuine kindness, the sort that instantly made us feel human again. We settled into the café, grateful for the cool air and the calm atmosphere. The iced drinks arrived like small miracles, perfectly timed resurrections for overheated travelers. Sitting there, surrounded by shelves of beautiful Japanese goods: rice, condiments, ceramics & elegant little treasures...I realized this place isn’t just a store or a café. It’s a refuge. The shop itself is beautifully curated, with every item looking like it belongs in both a kitchen and an art gallery. But it was that moment of kindness on a sweltering day that turned a simple stop into a memory. This place isn’t just about fine rice & stylish design; it’s about hospitality that makes you feel at home, even when you arrive looking like you’ve lost a wrestling match with the summer heat. Highly recommended. Whether you’re in it for the products, the café, or just a small act of grace when you need it most.

I went there two times to eat and the food and service were great. I tried once the fish and second time the chicken dish. Both were very tasty and portion was good enough. Good value for money.

It's In front of Kagurazaka Station. The second floor selling some clothong, bags and wallets . There are some nice ones but all are very expensive. I cannot afford them at all. On the ground floor, there are many things about rice, rice itself, rice wine (sake), chopsticks, condiments and garnishes you enjoy with a bowl of rice and a cafe. I bought a bottle of sake for dinner.

I recently moved to Kagurazaka and unexpectedly discovered that there is a treasure here. It is said that Akomeya La kagu used to sell furniture, but then the furniture was gone and it was changed to household items. The seasonings here are very rich and the household items are also very exquisite. Many tourists come here. Choose gifts to take back to your friends. It’s more about people like me who live nearby. If I don’t want to cook, I come here to have a sumptuous meal, which only costs 1200-2000 yen. The sense of ceremony and quality are very good. I give this place full marks 💯

Very nice place. A shop with original products following the Japanese tradition on houseware, clothes and food, like the noodles in a very nice packaging. The restaurant seems to have a healthy food but I didn’t try, just took a look at the menu. Outside, the Farmers Market has vegetables and flowers.

From shopping for souvenirs to delicious food, Akomeya is a favorite. If you want to try a Kaiseki meal, go here for a cheap one. Each dish comes in tableware highlighting the rich handicraft traditions of Japan. Each item was carefully prepared and truly satisfying. There are stairs to enter here so I’m not sure if those with accessibility issues can easily go up.

Staff was very friendly and spoke some English. The donuts were delicious and they had vegan options! The grilled cheese was good and came with a side of potatoes (although they called them French fries lol). The cafe gave a very rustic look and was very cute. You can get your own water and there's a bathroom available. Not wheelchair accessible.

Didn’t realised it was right beside Menchirashi😆 Almost no wait for us, lucky us, cause the next customer had to wait for dine-in spots😅 but they are really fast with the clean ups so new seats are available soon. We ordered a milk tea, very bland and a little bitter, not my usual milk tea. But I soon know why because their doughnuts are super sweet😥 Ordered the maple and bacon doughnut and a grilled cheese sandwich. There’s bacon there but, i tasted more of the maple syrup rather than anything else. It’s like the whole doughnut had been soaked in maple syrup. It’s WAY too sweet. The grilled cheese sandwich ended up to be our favourite! Will definitely grab a grilled cheese sandwich to-go the next time I’m in the area!

Came for the pumpkin pie and although the crust was not how I prefer it, the flavor was what my American heart was missing. I also wanted to try the chai…unfortunately it was too milky for me. I also tried some doughnuts and I loved the variety and more fluffy texture. It reminded me of the mom and pop doughnut shops from back home. Also had a panini sandwich…was meh. But I definitely want to go back and try more!

Little Bakery, huge flavor! Flaky, buttery croissants + a perfect cappuccino = morning made. Their croissants are insanely good. Hands down the best I’ve had in my life. A must-try spot!

I know I am not allowed, but I say it is 3.5 stars for unfriendly staffs. We went to The Little Bakery Tokyo for some afternoon desserts. It was a popular spot as expected. The inside is a bit on a small side, as it is a cafe and not a restaurant. They had lots of American stuff as decoration, as they say this cafe is American-inspired. There is a large table in the middle, with their food offerings, pies, etc. The customers have to go around the table the long way, finally getting to the ordering and cashier. Next to the ordering counter is a window case filled with doughnuts, made by Good Town Doughnuts, who is a sister company to The Little Bakery Tokyo. When you are ordering and paying for your food, they ask you if you want to eat-in or to-go. This is the only way you get a table (if available). Now, the staffs were not very polite nor super nice, which was said by some customers from the past. The seating area is small, with a handful of tables and counter seating as well. We ordered three donuts, and Oat Milk Latte to go with them. Their doughnuts looks really good, and a nice large size, as they call “American size” doughnuts. The first doughnut of choice was California Strawberry Lemonade Doughnut. Really nice flavor of strawberry and lemonade, super tasty! The second one was Van Houten Chocolate Crunch Doughnut. Now, I don’t know if this is made with actual Van Houten chocolate, or they just like using American names, like “California” strawberry lemonade… Regardless, it was chocolate-y, and I enjoyed the texture of the chocolate crunch. Last but not least, Kyoto Uji Matcha Doughnut. It had a real matcha flavor, a bit bitter, mixed with sweet white chocolate to have the perfect balance of bitterness and sweetness. We had a nice dessert time here. We enjoyed all the doughnuts. Great flavor and large size, sure to fill you up. The latte was quite good too, rich and aromatic.

In the beating heart of tweener Tokyo, lies a helping of good ol’ baked Americana. The Little Bakery has been a popular stop for out-of-town Nihonjins and overseas tourists alike. An American/English style bakery offering the Marvel vs Capcom 2 selection screen of classic baked items from every Betty Crocker’s catalogue that you never got around to baking. The best part about this being a pastiche in Japan is the price point. Sure, it’s more on the premium side for Japanese typical bakery prices — but versus the boom of these type of treats happening in the west, it’s an absolute steal. 3 doughnuts, 3 cookies, 2 slices of pie and a coffee for about $36 AUD. That’s the cost of 1.75 sandwiches in Australia right now or maybe 3ish croissants. Yep. Listen, I understand it’s not scalable. But akin to everything else in Japanese consumerist culture, everything in balance. These treats are enjoyed in spurts and are a totally affordable luxury/nostalgia as a result. Little Bakery, big feelings of joy.

We found this place by chance when we were waiting for a restaurant next door and was a really good surprise! The pastries look stunning and a lot of variety, you can pick them yourself, pay at the counter and eat seated. We went twice in different days and got the canelle, cheesecake, brownie, pan au chocolat. Everything was reeeeally good (but the brownie). 1st time we went there we didn’t interact almost with the staff so didn’t notice anything, but the 2nd day it was a bit more crowded and the staff was not really nice. Reading the comments I understand it is a common issue to the place

We had the pastrami sandwich, which was pretty good. Wish it had cheese but that’s my personal preference. But special mention of the plain croissant!!! So delicious & was still warm from the oven so they keep making them throughout the day as we got in at midday. Every mouthful you could feel and taste the butter entering your mouth. Service basic but warm & atmosphere/layout is similar to a Starbucks Coffee was actually alright which surprised me.

Stopped by Princi after browsing around Tsutaya and it’s such a pretty spot. The croissants were pretty good, fresh & buttery, though not something I’d rave about. They’ve got a beautiful display of Italian pastries and breads, and the Starbucks Reserve coffee was ok though. Great place to take a break and people watch for a bit.

Sooooooo gooooooood! I’m glad the restaurant “Ivy” across the alley told us they would be an hour wait because after that we stumbled upon this cafe serving all kinds of amazing sandwiches, pastries, and actual GOOD pizza. Would definitely return again and again!

Fantastic like being in Milan. The atmosphere, the taste! And the wonderful outdoor terrace shared with Starbucks Tsutaya, makes it wonderful

Italian bakery with Starbucks Reserve. Nice concept and selection, and quite popular. We wanted something sweet to eat after lunch. Quality of the croissant and cinnamon roll were good but didn't quite meet expectation of price, location and popularity. Still it was fresh and perhaps some of the other selection, like the pizza, could be much better.

Starbucks Reserve collaboration? I’m too late for breakfast, will try again next time. Princi Blend coffee is great.

The staff was very friendly and helpful. Food and coffee hit the spot. Many options to choose from here 😌

this place is pricey but I will give it 5 stars. the plain crepe was very good and worth 500 yen. also the staff are nice, and the place itself has a nice aesthetic. they have a large selection of bread, sweets, pastries, and french baguette sandwiches (which are pricey and don't have much meat on them)

I visited this bakery that offers a variety of breads, cakes, and crepes. I chose the Nutella crepe, but it was quite average. Unfortunately, I don’t think I’ll be returning to try anything else next time.

French bakery. There was a long queue for the crepes which I could pass to buy some chocolate Croissant. You can even sit inside but need to order some drink. The chocolate Croissant was fresh and delicious. My cassis soda water had artificial taste and was way too sweet (they added sugar additional to the syrup). It would be better to use cassis juice.

I felt like a snack in the afternoon and went by Viron Patisserie to see what they had. The cakes were nearly all sold out, yet they had plenty of pastries available. I bought myself a "chausson aux pommes", apple in puff pastry and it did taste very similar to the ones from Europe. The place itself looks beautiful, well kept and very clean!

Wow I forgot I was in Tokyo. I thought for an instant that I was in France. The food and pastries are excellent soo delicious.it is the real deal. Visit this place you will not be disappointed I guarantee it.

When warming up the bacon Gruyère epi, the staff left it in the oven too long and it came back blackened (vs the light brown color it was before) - See photo. When we asked because we were having trouble pulling it apart, we were told this is how it is served for the smell. It was just burnt and hard on top and bottom - if that’s how it’s supposed to be served, don’t eat here. We also tried a croissant, while tasty there are far better available at other bakeries in the area. Customer service was poor even before we ordered. Which is rare to find in Japan. FYI - No seating or restroom available to eaters

Outrageously overpriced for an average quality , shrinkflation related? Me thinks that it’s the new post covid trend we have you believe that everything is just pricier by now but we won’t actually tell you that we simply aim at fooling you and at increasing our gross margin works like a charm. Avoid. There are plenty of similar bakery shops who do as good (if not better) for a much lesser price. Even Maison Kaiser’s bread is tastier and cheaper. Oh and they only accept cash. You have been warned.
