Around 5:00 PM when I visited, the selection of items was quite limited, but there were still choices available. I noticed there was only one loaf of bread left, but it was marked as reserved. It seems they offer reservations for items. This time, I bought a hamburger, a sweet bread, and a side dish bread, each costing around 900 yen in total. The hamburger was in the 400 yen range, while the bread items were in the 200 yen range, but I don't remember the exact prices. - Avocado Cheese Burger: A soft bun with a thin hamburger patty, finely chopped avocado, and sliced cheese. The bun was sprinkled with toasted sesame seeds, which added to the taste. The amount of avocado was minimal, perhaps due to the small cuts or being overshadowed by the meat, so the avocado flavor was subtle. - Croissant: A light and long straight-shaped croissant. My husband had it and found it delicious. - Rustic Bread with Chrysanthemum Greens: Layers of dough filled with chrysanthemum greens and cheese. The bitterness of the greens was not noticeable. When reheated, the outer layer of the bread was crispy while the inside was moist and chewy, making it very tasty. Payment is cash only. Even in the evening, the bread items were not yet bagged for display. Due to the small space, there was a sign at the entrance limiting entry to "up to 3 people." The female cashier, even behind a mask, had a lovely smile. [August 2023] I visited early in the morning, so there was a wide variety of items to choose from. They had a rich selection of croissants. I bought six, but I only took a picture of one, so I'll review that one. - Banana Croissant: A sweet croissant filled with plenty of custard cream. [June 2020] - Avocado Burger: A soft bun filled with a thick hamburger patty, avocado, lettuce, and ketchup sauce. Despite the generous appearance of avocado, the thick patty made it more of a meat-centric burger.

For lunch, I got takeout. I had mentaiko French bread and cream puff. The cream puff had a strong, sweet cream on a firm dough. The mentaiko in the French bread was well soaked and delicious. Overall, the mentaiko French bread was really tasty.

I walked from Kumano Shrine bus stop to a highly-rated bakery. It was my first visit on a weekend afternoon. The small shop specializes in take-out. The colorful Danish pastries caught my eye. Recommended items include: Sweet Red Bean French Pastry for 280 yen, Kinako (Roasted Soybean Flour) Donut for 250 yen, and Raisin Oatmeal Cookie for 300 yen.

This was probably my second visit, but there were plenty of bread varieties and quantities around 12 o'clock on weekdays. This time, I bought a chicken teriyaki bread, which was really delicious. The French bread was crispy when I chewed it, and the seasoning of the meat with the sweetness of the onion was so tasty. It was soft and the cheese on top was also good. It looked great from the outside. I also bought a sweet potato Danish, which was big and looked delicious, so I decided to try it. I will definitely be back for more. From cream bread to elaborate side dishes, bagels, and fresh fruit bread, there are so many varieties that customers must be drawn to them. It was just delicious. Thank you for the meal.

- Located in Sakyo-ku, Kyoto City - Crab Cream Croquette: 370 yen The croquette is delicious, with a soft and fluffy bread. - Fish Fry: 350 yen The fish is juicy, with a tartar sauce that complements it well. The price is reasonable for the quality of the food.

Visited during lunchtime on a regular day. Due to COVID measures, only 3 people were allowed inside the shop. Managed to enter without waiting in line, but there was a constant stream of customers coming in. - The bread with mashed sweet potatoes and black sesame from France was delicious with a nice elasticity. It had plenty of sweet potatoes, which made it satisfying on its own. - The curry bread had a good texture with ingredients like potatoes. Although the bread lost some of its crispiness as it cooled down, it was still deliciously chewy. A bit more curry filling would have been perfect. - The matcha and white chocolate bagel had a great chewy texture. The white chocolate had a good balance and the incorporated matcha added a nice flavor without being overpowering. Overall, very satisfying. I forgot the exact breakdown, but the total was 730 yen. I think the cost performance is quite good.

This cute shop with a green tent and door frame on a white wall offers a variety of hard breads, Danish pastries, prepared foods, bagels, and sandwiches at reasonable prices. It is popular among locals and people from Kyoto University Hospital. Cinnamon roll 240 yen, Chocolate marble 330 yen, Bacon epi 270 yen, Salted butter 180 yen, Croissant 220 yen. The bread has a gentle taste and is easy to eat, leaving a good impression.

The tuna sandwich has a slightly thick, moist cucumber that enhances the subtly seasoned tuna. Some may find it lightly seasoned. The egg sandwich is perfectly balanced in flavor, allowing you to enjoy the richness of the egg without getting tired of it. The an butter baguette has red bean paste and butter sandwiched between a hard baguette. The red bean paste has just the right amount of moisture, providing a refreshing deliciousness. And the butter is incredibly delicious, with a creamy softness that suggests it is carefully blended with something else (like whipped cream?).

I purchased a sweet potato bagel and a cranberry white chocolate bread. The cranberry bread had a rustic-like dough with a hard surface but a moist and chewy interior. It was not dry at all and I enjoyed it until the last bite. The amount of ingredients was just right, not too sweet or too big, perfect for one person. When I warmed up the bagel in the microwave for about 30 seconds, it became fluffy and even more delicious.

I entered the store before 1 pm. There was a line in front of the store in the morning, but I was able to enter right away this time. However, most of the bread was sold out, so there were not many options. I found out why there was no line. I bought a Milk Stick for 200 yen and a Daizu Azuki for 160 yen. Both were delicious indeed.

Located a 3-5 minute walk from Jingumaruta-machi Station is Bakery Cattol Season. This bakery, which is closed on Sundays and Mondays, has a wide variety of breads on display. I finally had the chance to visit when I noticed it open on a Saturday as I walked by. The shop isn't very large, but it opens at 7 am, making it convenient to stop by early. This time, I purchased the popular Crab Cream Croquette Burger. The croquette, filled to the brim with crab cream, sandwiched between fluffy buns, was a treat. When lightly warmed in the oven, the crab cream became hot and delicious, complemented by the Aurora sauce. There are also other tempting sandwiches and sweet breads available. It's the kind of place you'll want to visit again. Bon appétit!

The bacon cheese bar for 240 yen, the baked cheese curry for 260 yen, and the croque-monsieur for 150 yen were quite delicious. However, the bread was still a bit expensive. The bacon cheese bar was like a bacon version of a frank roll, with a soft and good dough. I didn't really taste the cheese though. The baked cheese curry had mushrooms in it which made it exciting. I remember it being spicy but the cheese made it mellow. The croque-monsieur was easy to eat and I liked it even though it was small. The melon bread for 270 yen was not what I expected, I thought it would be a sweet roll but it was actually melon bread. It had nuts which were okay, but I'm not a big fan of melon bread so I wasn't too impressed. I might want to try it again sometime.

I stopped by for lunch bread♡ The exterior with green and white colors caught my eye♡ I had been curious for a while, and when I visited before, they were closed for the day, so I finally got to visit Cattolica Zon♡ What I purchased was, ❤ Lemon Cream Cheese Bagel ¥300 (tax included) Refreshing with lemon acidity in the cream cheese!

The chewy texture of the dough also provides great satisfaction♡ It's a bit pricey, but I want to come back for more because it suits my taste♡ ❤ Croque-monsieur ¥150 (tax included) Simple and delicious with cheese and ham♡ I'm happy with the low price for this convenient bread♡ I visited around 9:30 am and there were many varieties, so I recommend visiting earlier!

Catel Seizon Mentaiko France ¥190 Chocolate Chip and Almond Crunch ¥250 This is a stylish bakery located on the left side as you go east on Marutamachi Street, crossing Kawabata Street. I visited for the first time in a while, but they were almost sold out by 3:30 p.m. The "Mentaiko France" was delicious despite being small, but it was a bit moist as it was packed in a plastic bag. The "Chocolate Chip Almond Crunch" was a tasty bread with delicious Danish pastry. I replenished my energy along the promenade by the Kamogawa River and ran all the way to Osaka. 39-5 Higashimarutamachi, Kawabata Higashiiru, Marutamachi-dori, Sakyo-ku, Kyoto City.

I visited the shop at 2:30 pm on a weekday. The shop is small, but there were more than 10 types of bread, with 1 to 4 pieces of each lined up. The staff was very friendly, and even though I only stayed for a few minutes, it was a pleasant experience. I bought a cheese and ham bread (name unknown) for 220 yen. The cheese had a fragrant aroma, whether it was on top or not. The ham was packed tightly in half of the bread. The bread dough was chewy, and despite its small size, it felt heavy in the stomach. If I pass by again, I would like to try a different bread.

Located on the south side of Kyoto University Hospital, about a 2-minute walk from Jingu Marutamachi Station, "Cattle Season" had sold out of the apple danish I was looking for, so I chose the Uff, an egg bread! The bread was fluffy and delicious, but I really wanted to try their famous apple danish... I want to come back for a rematch! 😊

Today, I went to the Okazaki area in Kyoto. I found a stylish bakery called Quatre Saisons near the intersection of Higashiyama Marutamachi, so I decided to go in. The shop had a green and white color scheme with a glass exterior, creating an open and inviting atmosphere. In addition to bread, they also had cute accessories on display. They had muffins, rusk, and sandwich bread available, although some items were already sold out due to the late lunch hour. I purchased two croissants, one with ruby grapefruit and almond cream, and the other with poire (pear). Both croissants had a crispy texture and were delicious. The combination of custard cream and grapefruit on one croissant was delightful, while the poire croissant featured sweet poached pears. Overall, it was a positive experience at this bakery.

After getting off at Keihan Kamigyo-Marutamachi Station and walking east for a while, you will find this bakery. It has a very stylish appearance. The old bakery has been renovated and looks nice. The creme brulee, curry pizza, and cheese bagel are all delicious. I hope this bakery continues to thrive for a long time to come.
