A stylish bakery that feels like it's straight out of a foreign country, perfect for a morning breakfast. The ham and cheese focaccia I ordered was piping hot, with a crispy crust and a chewy interior. It was packed with cheese, making it a satisfying meal. I also ordered a set iced coffee, which had a light bitterness that woke me up in the morning. The staff seemed to speak English, and the store was probably filled with foreigners. It felt like I was on a trip in a New York-style atmosphere, starting my day off right! Ham and cheese focaccia (¥770) Set iced coffee (¥330)
THE CITY BAKERY, located on Dogenzaka in Shibuya, is my favorite bakery cafe ♡ This location opened just last year, and this was my first visit. It was almost full at around 1 pm on a weekend. I was lucky to get a seat just as one became available, but it seems like securing a table on weekends would be difficult. This time, I only had a drink for dine-in. I was a bit bothered by the poor customer service, but the atmosphere was quite comfortable and I was able to stay for a long time. ☑ Strawberry Matcha Cream Tea Latte ¥792 The tea latte, made with chamomile mix, is topped with thick matcha cream. It's finished with matcha powder and strawberry flakes. First of all, the tea latte is delicious. And the matcha cream is also delicious, with a moderate sweetness and a thick texture. The syrup was concentrated at the bottom, but otherwise, it wasn't too sweet and was just right. I drank it all down. Although it supposedly contains strawberry puree, the strawberry flavor was almost nonexistent, and it tasted like a matcha cream tea latte.
Mont Blanc ¥720 Blend Coffee ¥440 (Cake Set -¥100) It's Mont Blanc season! 🎉 So excited 🥰 I was wandering around Shibuya and stumbled upon City Bakery. I thought, "Was this here all along?" 🌟 Turns out it's only been around for about a year 😊 I always feel at ease knowing that everything at City Bakery is delicious, but when I saw the Mont Blanc, my eyes turned into hearts.💘 It was quite dense and filling! The flavors of brandy and cinnamon were strong and bold. It was a punchy treat that was perfect after a drink.🙈 It's easier to get into than the nearby Starbucks. There were also power outlets, so it seems like a convenient place to work.
My beloved City Bakery. I went to the Dogenzaka branch. They have a wider selection of savory breads and breads to eat on the spot than bread for meals. It's probably because of the location. I took out their classic corn bread. It's sweet, soft, easy to eat, almost like a pancake. It's simple, large, and has a taste and texture that kids will love. Maybe it's because it's City Bakery, but it's delicious! The staff are also polite and cheerful, making for a pleasant shopping experience.
I visited this cafe at 5 PM on a weekday. I was looking for a cafe to kill time while waiting for a meeting. I went to three cafes nearby, but they were all full. However, I saw a few empty tables in the back of this cafe, so I went in immediately. There were delicious-looking breads lined up, but I only ordered a drink because I had dinner plans later. I ordered a cafe mocha for 638 yen. The cafe had a calm atmosphere, and there were many foreign customers because of the location. The mocha came in a large mug and was very generous. It wasn't too sweet and was delicious. The nearby cafes were crowded, but this place was a hidden gem. It was nice that it wasn't too noisy. I stayed for about an hour and a half while waiting for my meeting, and it was quite comfortable.
