About this place
In Shinjuku Ward's Wasedamachi, the counter at BONBONBAKES is filled with unpretentious baked goods rooted in traditional British home baking. From a classic Victoria sponge sandwiched with jam to spiced carrot cake, the shop offers an opportunity to enjoy authentic British-style bakes that are relatively rare to find on regular display in Japan.
The assortment includes plenty of baked treats well-suited for everyday tea breaks. Alongside homemade scones that carry a gentle sweetness and moist crumb when eaten as they are, the selection features large cinnamon-scented American-style cookies and financiers. Muffins packed with noticeable fruit and core ingredients are also popular, letting customers enjoy distinctive flavours such as peanut butter and blueberry.
Paired with coffee or a robust cup of black tea, the sweetness and toasted aromas of the bakes stand out, making for an unhurried tea break. Takeaway is available, making it convenient to drop in even on a tight schedule; as payment is cash only, it is advisable to prepare notes and coins beforehand.
