{ CENTRE the Bakery }

2014, Sep 11

I have never been to a “Toast” specialty store until I discovered CENTRE the Bakery and all I can say is it’s Toast Heaven!

I love Toast, bakeries, pastries, anything bread. So when I found out there’s a delicious high quality Toast Specialty cafe that opened in Ginza with lines out the door, I had to come check it out. (It usually takes about an 1-1.5hrs to purchase just the toast)

As you can see, the cafe/restaurant is adorable and has a nice ambiance. They serve 3 different types of Toast which they label on their menu “JP”, “NA”, and “EB”.

● 角食パン（北海道産の小麦粉ゆめちからを使用。湯種液種製法で作った食パン。そのまま食べるのがおすすめ）
● プルパン（米国・カナダ産の小麦粉を使用。湯種液種製法で作った食パン。そのままでも焼いてもおいしい）
● イギリスパン（北米産の小麦粉を使用。36時間低温発酵させて作った山型食パン。VILONで人気のバゲットレトロドール使用）

We tried the Toast Sampler with 3 different types of butter (they use gourmet butter such as Echire) that also comes with a glass of milk for 1050yen, Croque Madame for 1470yen, BLT Sandwich for 1260yen as well as the Club Sandwich for 1890yen.

The fun part about trying their toast sampler is that you can choose your own fancy toaster from multiple options which are displayed throughout the cafe. I have to admit it’s a little pricey for just Toast/Sandwiches (I mean who charges 6300yen for a beef cutlet sandwich?!) but if you are into beautiful high quality Toast, it may be a fun and unique experience to splurge and enjoy something different. Everything was delicious!

Toast Purchase Hours // 10am – 7pm (Toast may sell out earlier)
Lunch/Cafe Hours// 10am – 5pm
Dinner Hours // 6pm – 11pm (Different Menu. Don’t have Toast)

{ Gontran Cherrier Tokyo – Cafe }

2012, Dec 3

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 – Bakery }

2012, Nov 29

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.

{ Shared Terrace }

2012, Jul 27

Is this really Tokyo? This place feels very European and I love the area it’s located in. It’s right in the middle of Gaienmae and Aoyama-ichome, on a famous street called Gaienmae Ichonamiki. Shared Terrace is a café/bakery which is produced by Afternoon Tea. They serve breakfast, lunch, tea, and dinner and they have a bakery shop inside. It’s a nice place to come on a sunny day to sit on the terrace and people watch + enjoy the beautiful atmosphere and view. The outdoor terrace seating really makes this place special, it’s not very common to find places like this here in Japan.

The food is prety tasty and their special lunch plate which changes daily is one of my favorite dishes to order. I also very much enjoyed their bolognese pasta and iced latte (which is included with the purchase of any lunch dish). It gets very crowded on weekends and lunch time so definitely try to go here early if you don’t want to wait.

祝 ★★★ This is my 100th post!! :)
