During lunchtime in the city, I wanted to eat something delicious, so I came to my favorite place. The interior of the restaurant is a chic and calm space with a sophisticated and pleasant atmosphere. As soon as you enter, you are greeted by a display of bread and sweets lined up next to the register. Even though I came for lunch, I am tempted by the bread and sweets... I was guided to a table by the staff. The seating includes sofa seats, booth seats, and other comfortable options. I ordered the following: Niçoise salad (with bread) for 1200 yen, and a peach and Earl Grey cream tart (I forgot the price, sorry). The food menu here is very delicious and it's my favorite. They offer dishes like hamburgers and seasonal ingredients. I wanted a light lunch on this day, so I chose the salad! And the tart looked so delicious, so I also ordered it for dessert! The service is really fast! The salad was a generous portion with beets, carrot rapé, lettuce, fried potatoes, anchovy egg, green beans, sautéed fish, and more. The Caesar-style dressing was served with it. The combination of ingredients was simple yet delicious. I was very satisfied. The accompanying bread included three types: baguette, focaccia, and ciabatta. The baguette had a chewy texture and a strong saltiness. The focaccia had accents of olive oil and rock salt with a crispy and fluffy texture. The ciabatta had fine bubbles and a fragrant floury taste. All three were very delicious breads. I wanted to buy some to take home... After finishing the meal, they brought out the peach and Earl Grey cream tart at the perfect time! It was more substantial than I had imagined, but it was delicious. The tart base was tasty, but the moist almond powder filling was excellent! The Earl Grey cream was rich but paired well with the Earl Grey aroma. The peaches seemed semi-dried, which was a perfect match for this tart! I was expecting juicy peaches, so it was different from what I imagined, but the tart was very delicious. If you are looking to have lunch or tea in Shijo-Karasuma, I recommend Lufu! The staff's service, the speed of the service, the atmosphere, and of course, the deliciousness are all fantastic. It's a cozy restaurant. Thank you for the meal.

A bakery cafe that opened on September 25, 2019, located northeast of Karasuma Station in Nakagyo Ward, Kyoto City. They offer homemade bread and baked goods. The seating options include counter seats, table seats, and also seating on the second floor. Today's snack: Coffee and cocoa vegan brownie and scones. Both were light, healthy, and delicious. Thank you for the meal! ❤️

At around 12:30 on a regular day, the tables inside the restaurant seemed full, but it was quick to order for takeout. I brought home croissants and various types of bread. All of them had a solid bread texture and were delicious. While I was placing my order, a couple behind me started lining up for takeout and choosing their bread, so I refrained from taking photos inside the store. I had mistakenly thought it was just a bakery, but it seems like their main focus is lunch and light meals. I should have gone at a slightly different time. The store name on the concrete wall outside lights up from behind at night, creating a fantastic atmosphere. This place is apparently a second branch of a cafe in Takeda. I'm curious about the main branch and would like to visit it.

Located about a 5-minute walk from Karasuma Station, I visited this shop after hearing a lot about it from friends. When I arrived, there were about 3 people in line, so I waited for about 10 minutes. However, I later found out that for takeout, you don't need to wait in line. The seating area was empty but I misunderstood. The shop sells items that can be eaten in, but I was short on time so I just ordered a cappuccino. The cappuccino cost 620 yen and was served promptly. It came in a stylish black cup. The taste was average, neither good nor bad, making it seem a bit overpriced. The eat-in menu, as well as the bread and sandwiches, looked delicious, so I would like to revisit if I have the chance.

It was a fig fair, but the bread I was looking for was bought by the person in front of me, so I settled for the classic croissant and my favorite croquant (walnut & cinnamon). Even though some time had passed, they were delicious. The photo was taken at night after buying it in the afternoon.

Next Top 100 store with a rating of 3.55 as of August 2023! This cafe also has a takeout bread corner. The prices are relatively reasonable, the atmosphere is stylish, and the food is delicious. Highly recommended! On a holiday after 2 pm, there was no wait for takeout. I purchased without any hassle. [Items purchased] Bread ¥745. If you like Saint Honore Bakery, you will definitely enjoy this place! The bread here is slightly softer but similar in style. It has a sweetness to it and I really liked it (*´ω`*). However, it is too soft, making it quite challenging to carry it home without squishing it (^_^;). I recommend putting it in a bag by itself when taking it home. It was delicious, so I would love to try eating in the store next time! Thank you for the meal! ★

A bakery & cafe located a little away from Nishiki Market. I sought refuge from the August heat and the hustle and bustle of Nishiki Market and ended up here. I was captivated by the wide variety of food menu options, but decided to go for something light - a custard pudding and an iced coffee. The firm and nostalgic custard pudding was reassuringly delicious, and the coffee was also tasty, helping me cool down completely. I also bought some bread as a souvenir on my way out.

The bakery only sold 1.5-pound loaves of bread, so I chose other items. I ordered Jersey milk, milk France with maple caramel, melon pan, and a classic croissant for takeout. The croissant had a crispy texture and was filled with a rich buttery flavor. It is made with milk, flour, and fermented butter. I enjoyed a croissant and a cafe au lait at the cafe. It was delicious.

Lemon and white chocolate cookie ¥270 ◎○... It has a firm texture with a chewy inside. The first bite had a strong salty taste from the dough, but the lemon in the middle was pleasantly sweet and sour. This place is popular for its authentic lunch sets, so I would like to come back again.

I stopped by for a casual solo lunch on a regular day. About 80% of the seats were taken, but I was seated promptly. Although it is a bakery, they offer a proper lunch menu. The lunch set includes salad, bread, and a drink, and I chose the grilled conger eel as the main dish. The conger eel was crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, and the vinegar sauce was refreshing and delicious! Despite the crowded restaurant, the service was efficient and attentive, which was nice. I also got to try three different types of bread, and they were all delicious! The cost performance wasn't the best (I don't remember the exact price, but it was probably over 1500 yen), but I was happy to enjoy well-prepared and tasty food. The cafe latte I had after the meal was also very delicious.

I went to Kyoto! How many years has it been? I got off the Shinkansen and headed straight to RUFF, the place I wanted to go the most! I arrived just after 11 am, right after they opened, and was able to enter without waiting, which already made me happy. I was shown to my seat, compared the eat-in menu with the take-out bread options, and decided to order the "Baguette Sandwich - Grilled Chicken and Tahini Tartar." I was torn between this and another option, but I was drawn to the vibrant colors in the showcase and I really wanted to eat a baguette, so I went with this one. They heated it up and cut it in half for me. It was packed with fillings, the chicken was delicious, the Tahini Tartar was a great match, and most of all, the bread itself was delicious, making it an outstanding combination. It was an exquisite baguette sandwich. The variety of ingredients for the baguette sandwich is quite fixed, so this original feeling was really delightful and made me feel thankful (tears). I already want to eat it again! If you order a take-out menu item for eat-in, you are required to order a drink, so I ordered a "Cafe Latte." It was a generous portion and tasted delicious, even better than usual! I was so focused on the deliciousness of the sandwich that I didn't pay much attention to this latte, but I want to drink it again. This time I went with a friend. My friend ordered the "Conger Eel Tartine with Ume Cream Cheese." It's buried under the leaves, but the tartine is simple yet thoughtfully arranged, which is amazing. I tried a bit of the salad, and the Kyo Negi (green onions) left a strong impression, so I really wanted to eat that too. This comes with a drink. The portion of bread is a bit small, but it offers a satisfying experience. I wonder if the menu changes with the seasons? There are four other sandwich options, including Hokkaido Sandwich and Hamburger. Just looking at the sandwich menu made me happy. I can't find any bakery cafes in Tokyo that use such seasonal ingredients, so I'm really envious. The shop is renovated from an old machiya (traditional townhouse), so the atmosphere is fantastic with old wooden beams on the ceiling, simple lighting, sliding door frames, glass accents, and handmade tables using old materials. The ambiance is top-notch. I thought it was only on the first floor, but there are also seats on the second floor, which is quite spacious. The second floor is quiet, and the atmosphere might be different if you eat there. We only focused on the bread, but many people around us were enjoying main dishes with bread on the side, which seemed to be more popular. Everything must be delicious. I might have been rare for just eating bread like me (laughs). We had other plans afterward, so we had to end it there, but I regret not eating more. It was about half eat-in and half take-out customers. Many take-out customers seemed like regulars, and the age group was on the older side. Kyoto is truly the best, and Tokyo should strive harder! I learned the location, so I hope to go back again soon.

Visited the popular bakery "RUFF" on Takakura Street. Their lunch menu is particularly popular and there is always a line. Ordered the Eel Tartine, a must-try in Kyoto during the summer. The crispy bread absorbs the moisture from the vegetables and sauce without losing its deliciousness. The eel is of course tasty, but the plum sauce is also amazing. It's a cream sauce that is refreshing, with the acidity of the plum not overpowering, making it something you'd want to eat on bread regularly. It was delicious. It's also nice to get your veggies in.

Visited around 13:00. There were several groups waiting, but we were able to get in after about a 10-minute wait. We ordered two plates to share. We ordered the TARTINE. CONGER EEL, PLUM CREAM CHEESE (Conger eel) and the SPARERIB, BALSAMIC SAUCE, HONEY MUSTARD (Sparerib). Both the appearance and taste were satisfying.

French toast and drink 1600, croissant 300. The French toast was seriously delicious! Not too sweet, so it was enjoyable until the end. But the portion was too big, so it might be better to share. The croissant was also voluminous and delicious! Overall, it's a bit pricey, but there are many other delicious-looking breads, so I want to go again!

There is a bakery with a space for eating in, where you can also purchase bread from the storefront and eat it there. Today, I chose something sweet. I was imagining French toast made with square bread, but I was pleasantly surprised to receive French toast made with French bread, and I was impressed by the appearance (lol). The honey-soaked French bread French toast was absolutely delicious! The iced coffee made with cold water had just the right amount of bitterness and paired well with it. They also have a lunch menu, so I would like to try their lunch next time.

I love croissants, and I especially enjoy when the outside is crispy and you can taste the butter flavor spreading in your mouth. This croissant is really delicious, and the crispy exterior is addictive. The café-style shop has a counter, giving off a vibe of a cozy café on a street corner in Paris. I plan to come back here for a meal next time.

I arrived at the restaurant around 3 pm for French toast, waited for about 10 minutes to be seated. The French toast was quite voluminous and incredibly delicious. I was worried about finishing it all, but it was so tasty that I had no problem eating it all. The staff was also very friendly. I would love to go back to eat again.

I walked from Shijo Street and turned right at the end to find this place. I felt like having something sweet, so I decided to go in. The interior of the shop, mainly in black, had a chic atmosphere. I ordered a pudding and a hot coffee. The pudding was rich but not too sweet, with a refreshing taste that made it easy to eat. The coffee was also delicious. They also sold take-out bread. The shop closes at 6 pm.

Ruff's second visit on Saturday was crowded as expected. The Clock Madame lunch set comes with salad and a drink. There are many delicious options to choose from. Just the right portion size and perfectly cooked. I want to go again!

【Visit Frequency】First time【Reason for Visit】Wanted to eat pudding. My companion found this place on Instagram. Also, it was lunchtime.【Dish】- Duck steak focaccia burger (¥1,848) *Comes with salad and a drinkThe duck meat was thick and juicy without any gamey taste. The apple-infused cream cheese complemented it well. I wanted to eat another one!【Atmosphere】Very stylish cafe. Mostly female customers, with a few couples. However, it is also suitable for men dining alone.【Others】You are given a ticket and line up. It is popular, so making a reservation is recommended. You can buy bread for takeout without waiting in line.ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー【Overall】The food is delicious and they have interesting menu options. However, it is a bit pricey for me... My friend's favorite pudding was just average (laughs).Rating at the time of posting: 3.53ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー〜Chit-chat〜Burgers from independent restaurants tend to be on the expensive side, don't they? It's understandable that the costs are higher compared to large chains, but I wonder what the actual profit margin is for each. I personally enjoy burgers from independent places and indulge occasionally. However, they never seem to fill me up for the price! So, I end up going to a second place and it ends up being expensive. Burgers are a wallet-draining food!
