LA PETITE BOULANGERIE KITA KAMAKURA 北鎌倉の小さなパン屋 — Restaurant in Kamakura

Small boulangerie (bakery) - as per the name - but with good variety of options of sweets and savouries in Kita Kamakura that opened in October 23. Very tasty and buttery pain au chocolat (approved by my French husband who went back to the store to buy a second one), beautiful croissant which is not just empty air inside like the ones they sell in Japan (this one was stated that it is 40% butter and you can taste it; it is still flaky and croquant), and we also tried the baguette campagne.

I can't wait until...

Best cinnamon bun in my life. Pastry is baked and laminated to perfection with abundant flavor that offers a crispy texture while melting in your mouth. I would go back to Kamakura just to eat their pastries. I wish I had bought one...
