Motomachi BON PAN — Restaurant in Hakodate

Our favourite bakery in all of Hakodate! And I’ll tell you why:

1. It’s open incredibly early. So if you’re an early riser like I am, you’ll enjoy the morning goodies.
2. It is very well priced. You can spend less than $2 on a generous sized peanut pastry, croissant, or strawberry cream tarte!
3. The staff are all incredibly friendly and you can see them preparing the items right next door!
4. Most importantly, it was DELICIOUS. There was a little fried potato wrapped in a garlic butter herb bun that me and my travel crew could NOT get enough of. Out of the 3 days we spent in Hakodate, we went to this bakery 4 times. It was that good! Go. You...

I appreciate good bakeries like this one.

We visited twice in one day and tried different products: A curry-filled, oval-shaped bun, a curry-filled round bun, a tuna-filled bun, a bun filled with fried veggie-noodles, a sweet donut, a bun filled with red-bean-purree, and one filled with black-sesame-purree.

Most of them were very good. The dough is to the point, though the panfried buns were significantly better fried than the deepfried donut (if you love yourself a fatty, though, go for it). Our favourites were the curry-filled oval bun, the tuna as well as the noodle bun.

Thank you for this little delight...

I bought a curry donut, a cinnamon roll, and black sesame butter bread. All of them were delicious, but I especially liked the cinnamon roll. It was coated in cinnamon and topped with some nuts. I want to eat it...
