There are so many amazing places to get sweets and desserts in Japan but Senbikiya is one of the most famous dessert shops because of their high-quality premium fruits (which are inside of all of their desserts!). They also sell the fruits separately but they can get quite expensive, like 8400 yen for a watermelon… yikes!

Senbikiya has locations all over Tokyo but there are a few places where you can actually dine/tea at. We went to get dessert at their Ebisu location and it was definitely worth it. I love everything I’ve had from here. The strawberry short cake is perfect — not too sweet but sweet enough and with fresh strawberries. The mango pudding and fruit panna cotta were both delicious, while the waffle dessert pictured above was just ok (but the fresh mango and mango ice cream that came with it were yummy). Come here for tea time or dessert, you won’t be dissapointed.

I love Korean food but I haven’t found THE place to go for it in Tokyo yet so if any of you have recommendations, please let me know! Anyhow, I found a decent sundubu (Korean Tofu) place. It’s in a slightly inconvenient location but the closest train stations are Jiyugaoka or Kuhonbutsu. This place has multiple kinds of sundubu jjigae and comes with all you can eat side dishes, stone cooked rice, and egg for 2000yen. (It’s 1500yen during lunch). Come here when you have sundubu cravings!

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.

If you are craving for good pizza, come to Frey’s. You won’t be dissapointed. Their Bianca pizza is one of our all-time favorite pizza’s ever.

Frey’s serves only 3 kinds of traditional Italian pizza’s, but they have truly mastered the flavors. The Margherita, Marinara, and Bianca pizza’s are each sold for 1500yen. Each pizza is not that big so one person can easily finish an entire pizza on their own. Our favorite hands down is the Bianca, but their Margherita is also quite good. I recommend making reservations as this place gets packed with locals.

I never thought steamed bread could be so delicious until I tried Yakumo Mushipan. They specialize in steamed bread and doughnuts and have an adorable storefront. I never thought of having steamed bread as a treat, but they were so tasty looking that even though we bought these “to go”, we ended up eating them at the store. There’s only 4 seats inside and a table outside, but if you eat there they give you free hoji-cha to go with your snack – which makes it worth eating it there because they warm your steam bread before you eat it too! If you get a chance to check this place out, be sure to stop by the beautiful Komazawa Park nearby and have a picnic there too :)

Maccha-an doughnut (grean tea with red bean) – 210yen
Caramel maple doughnut – 240yen
Kinpira mushipan (chopped burdock root and carrots) – 180yen
Pizza mushipan – 180yen
