A new premium chocolate croissant, "Sanmark Cafe x Hawaiian Host," is now available starting July 28th. Created in collaboration with the renowned Hawaiian chocolate maker Hawaiian Host, this croissant is filled with plenty of macadamia nuts for a satisfying crunch. The dough is mixed with chocolate, wrapped around chunky macadamia nuts and Sanmark Cafe's original chocolate, and topped with chopped macadamia nuts. The rich flavor of the macadamia nuts and the intense chocolate blend perfectly together. In the morning, you can enjoy it with a drink for a special price of 450 yen. It's a great deal with two macadamia nuts included. Delicious, thanks to Hawaiian Host.

I have been to the bakery restaurant Sanmark before, but this was my first time at Sanmark Cafe. I was unsure whether to order bread or pastries since I wasn't hungry, so I decided to pass. The inside of the restaurant was a bit noisy, but I was able to relax and pass the time with just an iced coffee.

I visited "Saint Marc Café Tenjin Chikagai" for the first time in the underground shopping area of Tenjin in Fukuoka. It is located near Tenjin Minami Station and was quite crowded. Some seats at the counter have phone chargers available. I ordered an iced coffee this time to take a little break. It's a perfect place to relax!

The soft and flaky Danish pastry with mixed berries on top was quite sweet! The coffee tasted more acidic when I drank it afterwards, I should have had it before. By the time I left, sandwiches were lined up. Thank you for the meal.

This is a store located in the underground shopping area of Tenjin. They offer a morning service until 11 am, with a daily changing "Daily Morning" and a regular "Everyday Morning" with reasonable prices. I chose a sandwich, and there are multiple types to choose from. The egg sandwich I chose had a generous amount of eggs! It had a simple flavor that was perfect for breakfast. I enjoyed it!

A place where you can relax and enjoy breakfast, lunch, or snacks. It may feel a bit noisy, but it's good for passing the time. The sandwiches are average, nothing special. The chocolate croissant is delicious. And I still can't taste the coffee.

In Tenjin, taking a little break with my usual walk around Tenjin. Met up with my friend after going separate ways. We waited at the Sanmark Tenjin underground store and had a white chocolate croissant and almond chocolate croissant. I ordered the limited edition salted caramel set for my drink. My friend thought the sweet chocolate croissants paired with the sweet salted caramel was a mistake. They ended up ordering a coffee as well. The lighting was just right and the atmosphere was perfect for a leisurely stay. We relaxed for a bit before heading out for another stroll.

I went shopping at Tenjin! I came to the underground mall. I'm a bit tired so I want to take a break haha. Which cafe should I go to... Today, I feel like changing things up so I'll go to Saint Marc haha. I'm a bit hungry so I'll have the chocolate croissant and sandwich set that looks like a good deal! A coffee to take a breather haha. Phew...

Premium chocolate croquant with plenty of walnuts and maple white nuts, providing a satisfying eating experience! The official app has been released.

I ordered the hojicha smoothie from Tapimocchi on a whim, and it was really delicious! I would love to have it again. ☺️

Daily special: Ham and cheese croissant with orange juice for an additional 70 yen. Chocolate croissant.

From Tenjin Minami Station towards the underground shopping area. A shop just past Starbucks. A common sign in the Tenjin area. I often use it for a short break. It's about half the size of the Starbucks across the street. The threshold is low and easy to enter. The drinks and bread are also well-stocked. Toasted sandwich set with plenty of eggs, classic chocolate croissant, and a drink for 550 yen is what I often order. On this day, I was full so I just had a cafe latte.

[Second Visit] 2015/04 I revisited because I was curious about the "Tochiotome Chocolate Croissant" next to the chocolate croissant last time (*´∀｀). On this day, there was something that caught my attention about the staff. It was around 4 pm on a Monday evening... While sitting at a table reading an economic magazine, a young man (probably a university student) at the adjacent table was approached by a young woman (also around university age). From their conversation, it seemed like they were both students at the same university, and the girl seemed to be working part-time here. She was in casual clothes, probably just finished her shift. The conversation ended quickly with something like "Oh, you work here?" The girl then went somewhere for a bit. After a while, three of the young man's university friends arrived and they all joined together. It got a bit noisy, making it hard to read the magazine... (´・ω・`) But this was within expectations. After all, eateries are places to socialize, and if I didn't like it, I could just move to another seat. (I was asked to be more specific about this part, so I have directly conveyed my feedback to the company.) I learned that Fukuoka City (not Fukuoka "Prefecture") has an astonishing 97% of small and medium-sized enterprises! Most of them are local companies. This made me wonder if the work environment there is less strict since I grew up in Osaka where there are many subcontractors of large companies, which can be tough. The differences in what is acceptable and what is not between regions may stem from such factors, I think. Honestly, I feel there might be a lack of leadership from the manager. They are dealing with students who have not yet entered the workforce, and since the business is customer-oriented, they should provide proper guidance (^-^). [First Visit] 2015/04 Huh? Was there always a Saint Marc Café here? ( ・∇・) According to the reviews, it seems to have been here for a while (laughs). I felt like having a chocolate croissant after a long time, so I entered. Just when the freshly baked chocolate croissants came out, I quickly got oneヽ(´▽｀)/ I also got a ham hot sandwich. I added a hot coffee, and it cost 550 yen. The chocolate croissant was delicious (*´ω｀*) The hot sandwich was cold. It was okay. It would have been better if they had warmed it up (ノД`)... They could have asked me if I wanted it warmed up... In Osaka, they usually ask... (*^^*) In Fukuoka, there is a Saint Marc Café, but there are no regular Saint Marc restaurants. Well, I think it's okay.

I had some time in Tenjin in the morning, so I went to San Marc Cafe at the end of the underground shopping area that opens at 7 o'clock. They had a morning special where you could add a coffee to your order for an extra 140 yen with bread, or 210 yen with a cafe latte. I couldn't decide between the classic chocolate croissant and the butter danish for 200 yen, so I went with the butter danish and a cafe latte. The butter danish was a generous size with plenty of butter and tasted delicious. The seating is a bit close to the next table, but in the morning, there was enough space to relax without feeling crowded.

This is the Sanmark Cafe located in the Tenjin underground shopping mall, famous for its freshly baked bread such as chocolate croissants and delicious coffee. I stopped by for breakfast before an early morning meeting in Tenjin. It was around 7:30 am, and already many people were enjoying their breakfast inside the store. Customers can choose their favorite bread from the selection and order coffee or dessert in a cafeteria-style setting. I ordered the French toast and coffee set for 350 yen, and added a croissant with frankfurter for 220 yen. Since it was morning, I asked for American coffee. The morning bread is served freshly baked, and the French toast was a soft stack of three thin slices of bread. The croissant with frankfurter had a genuine frankfurter wrapped in a buttery and fragrant croissant. The store also offers sweet set menus with parfaits or cakes. The store is located at the southern end of the Tenjin underground shopping mall.

I wandered around Tenjin Underground Street and found a place to take a break, San Marco Cafe. They have a system where you order your drink first before sitting down. I ordered an iced tea and a Croissant sandwich with shrimp and potatoes from the open showcase. The Croissant sandwich was made with croissant bread, which was delicious. However, when I was about to eat it, I noticed that the label said salmon and tomato. I realized that I must have accidentally picked up the wrong sandwich without noticing. Nonetheless, it was still tasty, and I learned to be more careful in the future.

Today, I am in Hakata. I am walking through the underground shopping area. I am walking briskly. Why am I walking through this underground shopping area? Well, I had to transfer trains. I needed to transfer from the Airport Line at Tenjin to the Nanakuma Line at Tenjin Minami. I thought I could transfer quickly, but I had to walk, walk, and walk a lot to get there. While walking in this state, I found a Sanmark in the underground shopping area. My throat was dry, so I decided to take a break and went inside. Let's warm up with something hot. (Subtle.) I relaxed for a while. Now, I have to get to my destination.
