Just wanted to share the cutest packaging ever which I found on this pudding dessert from Quatre bakery. The pudding is actually inside of a real egg shell and when you purchase the dessert to go, it comes in this most adorable egg carton. I was amazed how they were able to slice off the top of the egg shell so smoothly. I’ve always thought Japanese places have some of the most creative and best best packaging but this was just so cute, I had to share :) The pudding itself was just ok though… I’m glad I happened to have an individual egg holder at home or it would have been very difficult to plate them!

PS: This dessert is pronounced “ufu pudding” (うふぷりん)
PPS: Merry Christmas!!

This is a follow-up post from the Gontran Cherrier Tokyo Bakery one. The Gontran Cherrier Tokyo has a restaurant cafe on the 2nd floor and I recently visited to have a light meal there since we were hungry at a weird time of the day. We ordered the salad plate (1000yen), onion soup (780yen), and soup of the day which was a carrot potage (680yen). Everything was just OK compared to their 1F bakery where all their baked goods were absolutely great. I would recommend going to the bakery over the cafe, but if you want a nice and quiet area to tea or relax, then I suggest the 2F.

GONTRAN CHERRIER TOKYO recently opened (at the end of August) in one of the most convenient locations just one minute from Shibuya station and it’s one of my favorite bakery cafe/restaurants that I’ve been to recently. I loved everything about it – from the style of pastries they served, to the cute french ambiance of the store. I’ve liked everything I’ve tried so far from this place and the ease of access is just unbeatable! The bakery also has seating on the 1F so you can eat your pastry’s/baked goods there as well.

PS: I also dined at the second floor cafe/restaurant so I will post about that next.

This cute bakery/pastry shop is located in Sangenjyaya right by Setagaya park and it might remind you of a Parisian bakery. We couldn’t help but notice how adorable this shop was when we first passed it so we came back on a different day just to check it out. It’s a small & cozy shop with cute decor and very friendly staff. The service was great, the breads were delicious, and we couldn’t have asked for more. Even though this place is slightly inconvenient to get to, there were many people coming in and out in the short time we were there which makes me think it’s definitely worth coming here even in the rain :)

Just to give you an idea, here are some of the items we had:
– Asparagus and bacon foccacia (263yen)
– Smoke cheese and dill bread (252yen)
– Bean bread (126yen)
– Hokkaido cabbage menchikatsu burger (357yen)

Everything we had was delicious!

Come to Bake Shop for Sunday Brunch, they have a tasty breakfast selection with lots of seating both indoors and out. This place has a relaxing atmosphere and was fillied with young families and friends who were enjoying their weekend outings together. I had the huevos rancheros, the one you see at the very top for 1260yen. The scrambled egg plate was very well seasoned and cost 950yen and the quiche chicken plate was 1050yen. All in all, a nice brunch :) This place is on the 4th floor so it’s hard to see it but check it out if you’re craving some good breakfast/brunch.
