Sunday Bake Shop — Restaurant in Tokyo

Amazing. I didn't expect much when I walked into a random bakery close to my accommodation and I certainly didn't expect to have a great coffee but this shop surprised me.

First of all, amazing coffee. One of the best I've tried and I tried a lot of specialty coffee. Latte had fruity freshness and overall fragrant and soft with just enough sweetness to match the fruitiness.

I tried scone with tea cream, sausage roll and lemon pound cake.

All were great but Scone in particular was so good. It came with thick, almost sticky tea cream and raspberry jam. They went along very well. Jam was fresh and not sweet. Cream was thick, packed with flavor.

Finally I have to mention that service is amazing too. Batista explained the characteristics of their coffee beans and even packaged their espresso beans which they normally don't sell just for me to buy. Oh and gave me discount on it too.

Overall, must visit place if you are...

I don’t understand what all the hype is about. I went there three times and I really wanted to like their cakes, but unfortunately the truth is they are very very bland in my opinion. The design and their little café are very cute and the staff are kind. Everything is extremly fresh and home-made, but the taste is a bit underwhelming. I don’t like sweets that are too sweet, but there must be some interesting contrast or texture to make it enjoyable. The flavours aren‘t really well balanced and it‘s quite boring and not very satisfying to eat as a treat. Still wondering whether I chose the wrong items, I might give it one more try, who knows. Seating is quite limited and it‘s a bit hard to calm down and relax, since there‘s constantly people entering and...

Don’t let the name fool you - they are open multiple days of the week! :) Which is a good thing, as this is a wonderful little bakery where you can see the magic happen. Really nice vibe to the place.

There’s a lot of cakes on offer, of course. Japanese style. Plus coffee, tea and soft drinks. Not a lot of place to sit though, and it seems popular, so don’t expect to find a seat. When I visited there were a bunch of people waiting outside.

They have a rather large staff, considering the size of the place, and none spoke English. Still managed to come away with a raspberry cake that was really good. Also got a muffin, and while tasty, it was a bit too greasy for me.

Prices were decent. So, well worth a visit if you are in the...
