This is a high-class bakery with a restaurant attached, featuring a selection of exquisite breads. The Chocolat Framboise boasts a crispy crust encasing rich chocolate. The raspberry topping releases a delightful aroma, spreading throughout the mouth with each bite. This elegant bread was truly delicious. The Coffee Anpan offers an even more intense coffee flavor than expected. The deep richness and bitterness create a unique and intriguing anpan. Coffee lovers should definitely try this bread with its distinctive character. I visited in the evening and saw the restaurant bustling with customers. After dining at the restaurant, you can also purchase bread to take home.
I ordered the Sawamura Bacon and Egg Set. It's a hearty breakfast with a good balance of flavors. The bacon and sausage are consistently delicious, and the warm toast and vegetables make it a well-rounded meal. I chose the Sawamura Bakery Blend iced coffee. The interior has a stylish bar-like counter with tables surrounding it, creating a spacious atmosphere. It feels like a place frequented by foreigners. The service was excellent, from the greeting to the overall experience. Breakfast last order is 9:30 AM, and they accept payment via PayPay.
I dined here. It's very convenient as it's almost directly connected to the JR South Exit. The restaurant is always crowded, and there's a 2-hour time limit for seating. I ordered a non-alcoholic white sangria. It didn't have any fruit in it and had a refreshing taste. The drink prices felt a bit high. However, they also have cafe drinks, so you can enjoy them after your meal. The Sanada Maru's green peppercorn grilled dish didn't have much of a peppercorn flavor and felt a bit underwhelming. However, the freshly baked bread served as an appetizer and the pasta were delicious. The atmosphere is stylish with dim lighting. Thank you for the meal.
On weekends, there's a long line even at opening time, with dozens of people waiting. We were seated for the second round, so we ended up waiting for about an hour. The appetizers were just right, and the main course was hearty. Bread is all-you-can-eat, and the staff brings baskets to your table. The food is well-seasoned, making the bread even more enjoyable. I was completely full. I'd like to try their breakfast next time.
It's right next to the south exit of JR Shinjuku Station. I visited for morning this time. I didn't understand the system, so when I entered the store, I was told to wait outside! Although it seemed like there were quite a few empty seats... I waited about 5 minutes before being seated. I ordered the Sawamura Morning and Sawamura Bacon and Eggs, and for drinks, I had iced coffee and iced latte, plus I added minestrone soup. It's true that it gets crowded, but they told us to leave within an hour... However, the service speed wasn't particularly fast. I felt like there were a lot of foreign tourists. It's true that the drinks were generous in size and everything was delicious, but it was expensive. For four people, it was over 10,000 yen... The extra charge for changing the set drink to a latte was 324 yen, I think? The extra charges were also expensive. I underestimated Shinjuku. 💦 There were a lot of customers waiting in line, so I left early. Even though there were empty two-seater tables, they seated two people at a four-seater table, which seemed like a waste. 😅 I'll try a different place next time! ♪
