Amazing Vegan Friendly Bakery

Stumbled into this vegan bakery on an exploration of Shimokitazawa and was immediately won over by the sweet and delicate aroma wafting into the courtyard outside the bakery. The space inside is quite narrow, really only room for 2-3 customers, but the staff is welcoming and friendly. I received excellent recommendations based on what they had on offer, and the seasonal sweet potato muffin and mini sweet potato baguette were both delicious, well worth the trip from Tokyo station. Many of their breads are vegan friendly, so if that’s a concern, then this bakery has you covered. I only tried a few of the breads, but the utter deliciousness of what I tried means I’ll be back. If you’re anywhere near the area, and you have a bit of a sweet tooth, then I recommend coming here and trying some of their sweet or savory bread.
