During my visit around 9:30 a.m. in May 2023, there were plenty of pastries available, but not so much sliced bread. Grandir has a wide variety of bread, so I couldn't help but worry about how difficult it must be to have all of them ready from the morning. This time, I purchased the following items. It's convenient that PayPay can be used now. ●Golden Melon Pan One of Grandir's signature products. I used a coupon for a free one by downloading the app. It has a beautiful golden yellow appearance without any burnt spots. There was something inside. I didn't eat it this time, so I apologize for the lack of details. My daughter and husband were eating it happily, each having half. ●Golden Cream Cheese Panini 320 yen A round panini made with the dough of the Golden Melon Pan, filled with cream cheese. The sweet and moist, soft dough made it more of a snack than a meal. It was a new discovery that cream cheese goes well with the Golden Melon Pan! ●Bagel Matcha Biscuit 270 yen Limited to May. While Grandir has a wide variety of bagels, this one stands out with its bright green color and a crispy chocolate biscuit on top. The cookie lightly sticks to the bagel due to the cream. The rich matcha flavor and bitter chocolate biscuit made it a not-too-sweet, adult-like bagel. ●Grand Doughnut Cinnamon 240 yen One of Grandir's new signature products, the Grand Doughnut comes in various flavors, but the cinnamon flavor has a strong scent and flavor of cinnamon while being moderately sweet, making it easy for both children and adults to enjoy. ●Maple French Toast 210 yen Slices of thick-sliced bread with crusts, soaked in maple syrup. When toasted, a delightful aroma filled the room. My husband enjoyed it. July 2023 ●Peach, Cream Cheese, and Sansho Bagel (Limited time) ●Grand Doughnut Chocolate ●Bagel Cheese ●Blueberry Muffin ●Maple French Toast ●Curry Bread

The bread, like a fluffy meat bun or bagel, was delicious! It was very crowded when I went during lunchtime. There was a wide variety of breads, so I would like to visit again when I have the chance! The ratatouille bread is also unusual and recommended!

I successfully composed it. It's been a while since I visited Kyoto. On my way back to take the train from Sanjo, I stopped by a bakery on Oike Street. I tried the Golden Cookie Choux and canelé for the first time. The canelé had a crispy and fragrant crust, with a fluffy and moist inside, resembling a firm custard. The cookie choux was not crispy but moist and delicious. They use the skin of golden melon bread. There seems to be a chocolate version as well. The Kyoto-style torn bread and rice flour bread also looked delicious. Thank you for the meal.

It's really convenient to have a restaurant you can stop by without taking a detour on your way home, isn't it? That's how I end up going there. Although it's not good to just head straight to the register craving something sweet, Grandeil is a safe bet so I confidently put it on my tray. On this day, I had Gâteau Pomme @300 (tax included), Walnut roll made with rice flour @150 (tax included), and Strawberry cookie choux at an unknown price. The fact that everything is consistently delicious is actually amazing. I'm always grateful for their service.

I purchased it on a weekday in March 2023. The concasse (220 yen tax included) is basically a Wiener bread. Both the Wiener and the bread were delicious, which surprised me. It was the first time in a while that I had a tasty Wiener bread. The cheese on top also goes well with it. The plain bagel (162 yen) had a soft and moist texture. The mini croissant (90 yen) has a subtly sweet taste. It doesn't have a crispy texture, but the dough is dense.

When I was living in Kyoto, I visited the Grandir bakery that I used to frequent (the one on Shimogamo Hondori Street). Bakeries in this area tend to open late, but this one opens at 8 o'clock, which was very convenient. Of course, the bread was extremely delicious.

The overall prices are reasonable and not too high. They have a wide variety of bagels, and it's great that they have freshly baked ones! They also offer various scones and donut-like pastries, with a slightly higher proportion of sweet options. The chocolate bagel was excellent, and it raised my expectations for the other bagels. The donut with Japanese sugar and the curry bagel were also good choices.

Kyoto's souvenir bread can be found at "Grandir" in Oike. Since it was the end of the year, I nervously headed there wondering if they were open. They were open! I was relieved! Inside the store, there were so many tempting bread options. After much deliberation, I chose: ・Kin-sesame bagel with meat miso (¥240) ・Strawberry and cream cheese bagel (¥226) ・Galette des Rois Calé (¥270) These were for eating at home, so they were not fresh from the oven. But after returning home, I reheated them. The kin-sesame bagel was incredibly delicious! The meat miso and subtle shiso flavor matched well. The strawberry and cream cheese bagel was also delicious with a sweet taste. Both were chewy and satisfying to eat. The Galette des Rois Calé had a rich cream filling inside a square pie crust. Truly high-quality bread! I was satisfied! Thank you for the meal! *Payment was made through au pay.

I went to get my favorite bagel. Also bought French toast for ¥190, not too sweet, moist and delicious. Canelé for ¥190, soft and moist, just the right size. Thick-cut bacon with sansho pepper and cheese for ¥270, bacon slices about 1 cm thick from end to end. Refreshing sansho pepper flavor, some unevenness but it adds an accent. Stollen small size for ¥421.

I'm sorry for the backlighting, but since I was passing by, I decided to revisit the shop where I first got hooked on Épi (although it was just about 2 months ago, lol). I bought Earl Grey scone for 190 yen, Bacon & Cheese Épi for 300 yen, Canelé for 190 yen, and Cocoa cookies for 421 yen (the cookies are for a gift). The scent of the Earl Grey scone is amazing! It's crispy and light. I should have had it with coffee! (I was hungry and ended up eating it on my way back). I noticed on my second visit that there is also an Épi without cheese for 260 yen. I love cheese, so I'll choose this one... This is still my favorite Épi... The scent, texture, and balance with bacon and cheese are exquisite... I will buy it again and again. There were also many other delicious items like Pnulle and various variations. It's a shop where you can't go wrong.

Grandeir has several stores in Kyoto and Osaka. I visited for the first time. I wanted a chewy fresh bagel, but they were sold out, so I got the red bean and soybean flour bagel! It was a bit crumbly as is. It tasted better after reheating and became chewier. When freshly baked, it might be chewy and delicious as is. The red bean paste was not too sweet and easy to eat. The salt bread looked incredibly delicious when freshly baked, but I had already bought too much that day, so I had to give up on it. I want to come back for revenge with a fresh bagel next time! (˘ᴗ˘)

I became a bread refugee at 4 o'clock on Sunday and stopped by here next to the city hall. It's a convenient location just a short walk from Kawaramachi-Gojo, and I often use it because a beautiful colleague at work told me about it. There are many customers, so I didn't take any photos despite using it frequently. They seem to be baking continuously throughout the day, so even if you go later, there are still plenty left, which is helpful. On days with a "0" in them, it seems to be "Bagel Day," and only the bagels were all gone, looking clean and fresh.

During my trip to Kyoto, I wanted to enjoy some delicious bread, so I visited this bakery near City Hall Station, which was convenient on a rainy day. The small shop had a variety of bagels on display, some of which were already sold out, so it's best to go early. I bought bagels with flavors like cheese, kinako and anko, edamame and cheese, walnut and cranberry, chocolate, chestnut, and maple salt bread. Despite being heavy for a trip, these dense bagels were satisfying to eat. The chestnuts were plentiful, and the seasonal flavors added a nice touch. It was delicious!

My third visit. For bagel lovers, this place is a must-visit. There are plenty of bagels at the bagel corner, making you want to conquer them all! Today, I bought a red bean and kinako bagel for ¥194, a sansho pepper and cream cheese and chocolate bagel for ¥220, and a Kyoto-style sweet bean paste bagel for ¥194. The sansho pepper and cream cheese bagel was freshly baked, so I couldn't resist eating it outside right away, haha. Surprisingly, it was a great match and really delicious. I definitely want to come back and conquer them all again! Thank you for the meal.

Located just west of Kyoto City Hall on Teramachi Street, "Grandeir Oike Store" is a bakery with a stylish black exterior that fits well with the city of Kyoto. When I visited in the late afternoon, there were still plenty of breads displayed on the shelves. I tried items such as "Cinnamon Roll - Pearl Sugar Style" for 190 yen, "Apple Quiniaman" for 250 yen, "Apple and Walnut Baguette" for 290 yen, "Scone - Earl Grey" for 190 yen, and "Canele - Bonne Carite" for 190 yen. Among them, the "Cinnamon Roll" and "Apple Quiniaman" are new seasonal products. The "Cinnamon Roll" has an unfamiliar finish called "Pearl Sugar Style," which is said to be Swedish-style. Although the shape was a bit uneven, the highlight was the refined sugar topping about 5mm in diameter. The "Apple Quiniaman" had crunchy Aomori Fuji apples scattered throughout. In addition to the sinful sweetness, I enjoyed the contrast between the crispy caramel on the surface and the apple's crisp texture.

When I searched on Google Maps, it showed up in the middle of an intersection and I couldn't find the place. I checked the map on Tabelog and figured it out. The most popular item seems to be Caprese, but it was sold out that day. The second most popular item is the bagel. I also tried it and it had a chewy texture and was consistently delicious. <Items purchased> Apple croissant 250 yen Chocolate pie 194 yen Bagel - red bean and soybean flour 194 yen Chocolate au four 270 yen Personally, I liked the Chocolate au four.

On a weekday at 11 AM, there were two customers in the store, and there were many delicious-looking breads! I wonder if bagels and paninis are famous here, as there were many varieties including scones and muffins with various flavors. I bought canelé, cheese bagel, and epi for about 700 yen for 3 items. The bagels were around 200-300 yen each, and the epi was 300 yen, which was a bit expensive! However, the buttery aroma, the juicy sensation when biting into it, and the savory bacon flavor were all perfect. I'm glad I bought them. I also wanted to buy French toast and scones, so I will definitely go back!

Today was Bagel Day, and I was able to buy bagels with a 20 yen discount. There is a wide variety of freshly baked bagels available. I purchased a curry bun, a croissant, and an edamame cheese bagel. The curry bun was a bit sweet. I heard they also have a spicy curry version called "Hiri Hiri Curry," but it was sold out today. The croissant was not crispy on the outside, but rather moist. The bagel was chewy. The dough itself felt a bit sweet to me. Thank you for the meal.
