Furatto Cafe

One diner bought a loaf of shokupan (Japanese milk bread) to eat with jam, but found it so good they wanted to enjoy it plain. At Furatto Cafe, you can take bread away or settle in for a light meal and coffee, indoors or on the terrace.

One review describes the shokupan as crisp on the outside and soft within when toasted. The walnut bread, with generous pieces of walnut in the middle, was praised for its toasted aroma—an appealing choice when you want to savour the bread itself. The salt sablé also made an impression: reviewers noted its firm surface, crumbly texture and well-judged saltiness.

For something sweet, the apple pie filled with custard cream and the carrot cake have both been well received. French toast is another menu highlight; one diner found it gently flavoured and not too sweet. It is worth considering if you spot it and fancy something different from bread.

For a more substantial bite, one diner reported buying cabbage rolls to take away. The vegetables were soft, and the tangy tomato soup made for a refreshing-tasting dish. The cafe is open on weekdays from 10:00 to 15:00 and closed on Saturdays and Sundays. You could stop for coffee or tea after lunch, or take bread and sweets home.
