A bakery and cafe located in the back of the first floor of Shinmaru Building. Apparently, the main store is in Hakodate. Baked goods and macarons are lined up in the display window, looking delicious!! Tea is also sold on the shelves. It seems that drinks are also available for takeout, but I was tired so I used the eat-in service. I ordered the Pistachio Cheese Tart. It's a pistachio cheesecake, and the pistachio color is vivid and beautiful from the looks of it. The tart crust covers a rich and dense pistachio-flavored cheesecake. It's so pistachio-y that pistachio lovers will be delighted. There are lots of crunchy pistachios on top, making the texture enjoyable! I thought it would be rich, but it wasn't too heavy and I ate it all up. The drinks are nice because they have a good amount. My companion ordered tea, and they said it was very delicious. I found a wonderful place that made me immediately think about coming back next time to order tea and macarons!
Located on the first floor of Shin-Marunouchi Building, next to a famous chocolate shop. They offer a wide variety of baked goods. The cookies are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The dacquoise and macarons are also delicious, with a moist and tender texture. The cafe is highly recommended.
Located directly connected to Marunouchi Station, this bakery specializing in baked goods opened last year inside the Shin-Marunouchi Building. While their main store is originally in Hakodate, Hokkaido, they have now expanded to Tokyo, so I decided to visit. I went on a weekday around 7:30 PM. They have an eat-in area, but it's great that they're open until late, with last orders at 8:30 PM and closing at 9:00 PM. There seemed to be about 10 seats. Since I visited right before dinner, I got a few baked goods to take out. They have an incredible variety of baked goods, from financiers to sablés, galettes, and florentines. They also have a lot of options like nuts with chocolate coating, macarons, and chestnut-flavored treats. Not only that, but they have a huge selection of dacquoise. Apparently, their dacquoise is very popular. I bought a banana coconut dacquoise, a financier, a galette bretonne, and an angadine, which I had never seen before but was recommended because of its interesting texture and popularity. It looks like a Western-style Kurumikko. They also gave me a madeleine as a complimentary treat at the register. So kind! The angadine has a gooey caramel-like filling in the center, which was bitter and not too sweet, making it delicious for someone who loves gooey things. The dacquoise had a thin, crispy outer layer and a fluffy dough with cream, which was also delicious. Overall, the other baked goods were also of a high standard, and I want to buy something else again.
This shop sells cutely packaged sweets that are perfect for gifts. They also have a cafe where you can eat in, so I went there for tea after lunch. They even have a terrace seating area. The pistachio cheesecake and drink set was 1,370 yen. The cheesecake had a strong pistachio flavor and was delicious. It's especially recommended for those who like firm cheesecakes. I had an iced latte with my cheesecake. It was strong and very tasty! You could choose from two different strengths. The shop is small, but it's cute, so I'll definitely go back again.
I heard a rumor that they offer ice cream to go in aluminum cups, so I decided to try it out. The size is pretty big (like a Starbucks Tall or Grande?), so it seems like good value for the price. The lid is plastic, but it's airtight and doesn't leak easily. (It was a bit hard to get off, though, haha.) It cools down quickly, so your hands get cold, so you'll need a cup holder. Two baked goods and the ice cream came to 1100 yen, which is a good deal. (Each baked good is over 300 yen.) I had the Lezan cream sandwich, which was delicious with a moist cookie and a slightly rum-flavored cream filling. I highly recommend it. They also have macarons and other treats, so I want to try them all. The box design is simple, so it would be good for a gift.
