There is a quiet Western confectionery shop standing a little back along the Keyaki Avenue in Fuchu. It is the closest cake shop to my home. I took out a fluffy sponge and fresh cream shortcake, as well as a combination of raspberry mousse and white chocolate mousse called Framboise, and enjoyed them at home. We shared them little by little, and both were delicious. When L'Evan was on Sakura Street, I used to go there, but they relocated to Fuchu Honcho, so I look forward to continuing to rely on Bonbonniere in the future.

On this day, I visited the areas of Tama, Chofu, Keio Tamagawa, Musashino-dai, and Fuchu. Just a few minutes walk north from Fuchu Station, there is a place called "Patisserie La Bonbonniere" on Keyaki Namiki Street. The name Bonbonniere means "a small box for sugar confectionery or sugar-coated confectionery" in French. I would like a big box of that. Oh, but in old stories, it's the small box that is important... Anyway, here at "Patisserie La Bonbonniere," it is located on the 1st floor of a building where multiple shops are gathered. There are pubs, go parlors, and various other genres in the building. Oh, but go parlors. It requires a lot of thinking, so it makes you want to consume sugar. There are professional go players who eat a lot of cake during matches as well. The interior of the store is quiet. As soon as you enter, you will see the showcase with about 15 types of cakes, mostly priced in the 400 yen range. The staff is quite cool... very cool. Please understand this expression. There is no seating for eating in, so I moved to Fuchu Park and had the cakes there. Here is what I ate: - Shortcake: A fairly large rectangular shortcake with strawberries, whipped cream, and sponge layers. The sponge is moist and coarse. The quality of the strawberries could be better. - Rapan: White wine mousse with liquor-infused cheese cream. This is almost like a cheesecake. The cheese cream is rich, and the white wine mousse is quite subtle. It's good as a cheesecake, but... hmm. - Fuchu Pudding: Pudding made with eggs from Fuchu, topped with whipped cream and caramel cream. The texture is medium firm, with a nostalgic strong egg flavor. However, the caramel flavor dominates the aftertaste. It might be too much. There are tables and chairs outside the store, but they are not currently available for use. Thank you for the meal!

Before my night shift, I made a little detour to a Western confectionery shop. I bought Mont Blanc and café (coffee jelly) at La Bonbonniere and brought them home. I hurriedly made my own dinner when I got home, and after dinner, I had cake time (just for myself!). When I was a child, I didn't really like Mont Blanc, but now my taste has changed and I have come to like chestnuts, so Mont Blanc has become one of my favorite foods. The sweetness that I enjoy rubbing on my tongue is the best. Unfortunately, the café now comes in a plastic container instead of glass, but it seems like the quantity has increased a bit. The smooth café au lait-style jelly and the firm coffee jelly. This is practically a drink, isn't it? In reality, I ended up slurping it down towards the end. This is still a classic cake for me.

When it comes to birthdays, you have to have cake! Birthdays and cake are inseparable, right? So this year, I bought a cake from "La Bonbonniere". Since my office room doesn't have a fridge, I borrowed a fridge from another room to store it. This time, I bought Chocolat Menthe (chocolate mint) and Tarte Rouge. It seems like the chocolate mint cake trend is popular now, as this shop also has chocolate mint cake this year. The cake has layers of chocolate cake with chocolate ganache in between, and a minty mousse on top. The mint adds a refreshing touch and balances out the sweetness. Chocolate mint can be a hit or miss for some people, but this Chocolat Menthe isn't too strong on the mint, so even those who like mojitos might enjoy it. The Tarte Rouge is not for me, but for my parents, so I won't be trying it.

This year, I didn't have the chance to buy a birthday cake, so I went to the cake shop now. I visited "Patisserie La Bonbonniere" in Fuchu after a long time. It was already past 6 pm, so there weren't many cake options left. But that's okay. I was set on getting the mango pudding. I also bought some coffee jelly since it was still available. I wanted to buy a regular cake as well, but I was worried about carrying it around for too long, especially if it was a mousse cake that could easily fall apart. So, I prefer cakes in a container. This year's mango pudding had a strong coconut flavor, making it more tropical. The smooth mango pudding had just the right amount of sweetness. The coffee jelly seemed a bit different this time, maybe the cream part was changed? The coffee jelly itself also seemed a bit smoother. The 14th of this month is their 5th anniversary. I look forward to buying my favorite Chocolat Banane next time.

The new year has begun and my schedule has been refreshed. Since my work in Fuchu has eased up a bit, I now have the luxury to buy cakes. (laughs) So I headed straight to Bon Bonheur! It was close to closing time, but the cake I wanted was still available, so I didn't hesitate to choose it. I also bought some other cakes based on their appearance. (laughs) The Chocolat Banille, which I wanted to try the most, was a rich chocolate cake that was sweet and satisfying. It's a mousse type cake, but even just one piece gives a strong sense of satisfaction and makes you want to savor it in your mouth. (laughs) The Cafe Mocha Irish (I think that was the name) was a perfect blend of coffee and chocolate. It was sweet and rich, with a subtle coffee aroma and a stronger chocolate flavor. This is the kind of cake you want to buy when you're in the mood for some cake.

I heard about a popular shop loved by locals, so I decided to stop by. It is located along the main street, making it easy to find. There is a table and chairs outside the shop, which made me wonder if I could eat the cake I bought here. However, there was only one table, making it a bit awkward to eat. Maybe it's there for decoration. Inside the shop, there is a showcase filled with unique cakes. While they had typical cakes like shortcake, cheesecake, and pudding, there were also interesting cakes made with pistachios that caught my eye. I bought the "Chocola Banille" and "Mont Blanc." While waiting for them to be boxed, I noticed a sign saying "Feel free to enjoy," with flavored tea available. I appreciated this kindness, which made me want to come back again. The "Chocola Banille" cake looked like the universe or night sky, with a shiny chocolatey appearance. It was surprisingly soft and the rich chocolate flavor was sweet. I imagined it would have a bitter taste due to its mature appearance, but it was quite sweet. It would pair well with espresso. Inside, there was a white custard-like cream with plenty of vanilla beans, adding a delicate texture. The vanilla aroma was lovely, making it a dessert that looks mature but is suitable for children. The "Mont Blanc" had a strong bitterness and the chestnut paste was not too sweet. It had a firmer tart crust at the bottom. While I usually get tired of Mont Blanc halfway through, this one's mild sweetness kept me interested until the end.

【2016/04/26】After a long time, I visited Bonbonniere. They had "Sakura" flavor, which reminded me of last year when I bought it. The sakura mousse had a subtle cherry blossom scent and a fluffy smooth texture, truly a taste of spring. I also bought a cream puff, with a rich custard filling that I devoured in no time. The sweetness was just right, and the price was reasonable, so I'll definitely buy it again. 【2015/07/11】I won't be in Fuchu until September, so I stopped by now. I bought some baked goods this time. The "Pistachio" had a nutty aroma that spread throughout my mouth. The fluffy mousse texture was light and enjoyable. It also had a hidden raspberry sauce inside. The "Raspberry" was a sweet and sour mousse cake with a smooth melt-in-your-mouth texture. In the summer, I prefer the mousse type over sponge cake. The "Cheese Cookie" was a crunchy Polvoron-type cookie with a hint of cheese. It was so delicious that I couldn't stop eating. The "Cashew Nut Cookie" had a rich buttery aroma and a satisfying nutty flavor. The "Florentine" had layers of thinly sliced almonds, but I wish the caramel part was a bit crunchier. Personally, I prefer the Florentine from "La Vieille France." 【2015/06/21】I occasionally stop by and buy something. The Chocolat Vanille cake had a rich chocolate mousse inside, which I love. The Mont Blanc had a moderate amount of cream, not too heavy, just right. The Tarte aux Fruits had strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, and currants, making it look luxurious. It was sweet and sour, very refreshing. And my favorite Mango Pudding season has arrived! Since it's seasonal until summer, I'll stop by occasionally to buy some. 【2014/12/04】I won't be able to visit Bonbonniere for a while, so I got some seasonal treats. I always look forward to the seasonal pudding. The Chestnut Pudding is almost over, with its rich chestnut flavor spreading in my mouth, a luxurious treat. Another one is the mildly sweet Coffee Jelly, "Cafe." It's a bit sinful because you'll easily want another one after finishing it. 【2014/09/11】I visited Bonbonniere after a long time. The Mango Pudding season is almost over, so I bought some before it disappears from the store. So far, this is my favorite mango pudding. The smooth texture and reasonable size are perfect. I also tried the Coffee Jelly this time, a unique coffee jelly with a slightly bitter and creamy texture. 【2014/06/27】I bought my birthday cake from Bonbonniere this year! I got "Chocolat" and "Chocolat Passion." The Chocolat cake had a moist sponge without any dryness, with a rich chocolate flavor. The Chocolat Passion is a seasonal item with passion fruit in the chocolate mousse. It was a refreshing mousse cake with a tangy acidity. I'll try various cakes next time. 【2014/05/16】"So many stylish cakes!" Last night, I had work in Fuchu. As I hurried to my workplace, I noticed a cake shop on the corner of my eye. Oh, there's a cake shop here! I usually pass by on Tuesdays, which is their day off. Intrigued, I went inside. The display case was filled with cakes using various fruits.

☆Patisserie Bonbonniere☆ Location: 1-25-12 Zelcoba Building 1F, Fuchu-cho, Fuchu City, Tokyo Approximately 7 minutes walk from Fuchu Station on the Keio Line Food & Taste: I chose Mont Blanc and Chocolat Orange The Mont Blanc uses Japanese chestnuts and has an elegant taste, very satisfying The Chocolat Orange has a perfect combination of chocolate sponge, ganache, and orange cream, a fresh and delicious taste that I had never experienced before I would definitely want to try it again next time There are many other cakes I want to try at Bonbonniere Atmosphere: As soon as you enter the store, you will see the cakes in the showcase and the pastry chef making them in the back The store is small but bright, clean, and has a stylish atmosphere The staff were warm, kind, and helpful, which made me happy Service: There is a stamp card where you can get 1 point for 500 yen spent Overall: Today's choice menu at Patisserie Bonbonniere according to Tabelog

There was a celebration at home, so I bought four cakes: Chocolat Vanille, Chocolate Cake, Sakura Jelly, and Pistachio Chocolate. Chocolat Vanille is recommended for those who like rich chocolate and vanilla flavors with a dense sweetness. The Chocolate Cake is not too heavy and is easy to eat, a standard chocolate cake. Sakura Jelly has cherry blossoms floating on top and red bean paste at the bottom, giving it a taste similar to sakura mochi with a hint of cherry blossom fragrance. Personally, my favorite was the Pistachio Chocolate. The pistachio flavor is strong, which is rare to find in cakes. When eaten with the berry mousse at the bottom, it balances the rich pistachio flavor, creating a complete taste experience. The bakery also sells seasonal iced cookies, currently featuring Koinobori cookies in late April.

While exploring Fuchu, I happened to come across this shop and decided to pop in. I didn't have anything specific in mind, and I had just bought a pudding from another store, so I passed on that. Instead, I opted for a cream puff, which was reasonably priced at around 200 yen for a smaller size. The taste, however, was fantastic. The cream was not too sweet and had a nice balance. Simple yet refined. The shop had a clean exterior and the cake seemed unassuming, but the quality of the taste was top-notch. This might be what they mean by sticking to the basics and perfecting them.

I went to buy a cake on White Day. My wife works full-time on Saturdays, so I felt sorry for her and decided to at least get her a pudding. I visited a popular cake shop called "Urson" nearby, but they were sold out of pudding. So, I decided to go to a patisserie called La Bonbonniere that I found on Tabelog. The shop is located along Keyaki Street in Fuchu City, only a 5-minute drive away. However, there was no parking available, so I had to wait for a while until a spot opened up. Luckily, I was able to buy a chocolate pudding cake called "Creme Chocolat ¥470" for my wife and a dessert named "Sakura ¥410" for myself. I only had ¥120 in change, so I had to go back to the shop to get more change. When my wife came home from work at 9:00 PM, she surprised me with a gift of okonomiyaki that she brought back from hanging out with friends. She asked me to eat it as a snack. She enjoyed the chocolate pudding cake, and I decided to have the Sakura dessert the next morning. The Sakura dessert had a sweet and sour taste with a hint of cinnamon in the panna cotta. It was recommended to be served cold from the fridge.

I heard that Vanilla Beans is a popular area, so I decided to visit. The shop has a stylish exterior. The cream puff costs 190 yen, which is a bit pricey. The shell is crispy and sprinkled with powdered sugar. The cream has a rich flavor and contains vanilla beans. As the leader of the Japan Vanilla Beans Party, I am delighted. Also, the cream is filled all the way to the bottom of the pastry, so despite the price of 190 yen, it feels like a good deal. I enjoyed it very much. Thank you for the meal!

I bought a rare cheesecake and what seems to be a chocolate mousse. The rare cheesecake is rich but not too sweet, with a refreshing taste. The contrast of blueberries and cranberries on the white surface looks very beautiful. As for the chocolate mousse, the refreshing orange flavor and vanilla mousse blend together perfectly, giving it a slightly nutty taste, maybe caramel? After taking a bite, I thought, "What an elegant taste! So happy!" By the way, it seems that they give a small snack as a bonus when you purchase on a rainy day. How nice!

I walked down Namiki Street and found a shop near the agricultural high school. I visited about an hour before closing and there were already 4 customers inside. Two more customers came in after that, so it seems like a popular place. The exterior and interior of the shop have a warm atmosphere, which is also reflected in their sweets. I recommend the "Strawberry Mousse," which is very fluffy and filled with lots of strawberries. The pudding had a caramel sauce with a slightly bitter taste, instead of the usual caramel.

Located at the northern end of the zelkova tree-lined path of Babadai Gate, which is also the approach to the Dai Koku Jinja Shrine, this cute cake shop stands where the first torii gate used to be during the Edo period. La Bonbonniere is a shop opened by a former pastry chef from Seijo Alps. The name comes from the French word for a small box used to hold bonbons (sweets). It's like a sweet box filled with delicious cakes. I was passing by on my way to buy a cake from Shandirabo when I saw a very cute shop assistant and maybe had a cake face... But I still bought the cake from Shandirabo as planned. The next day, I came back out of curiosity, but the shop assistant from the previous day was not there. Instead, Chef Nao Shibuya from Seijo Alps, as shown on their website, and another person were there to assist. - Shortcake: $3.80 A rectangular shortcake with a fluffy sponge and cream. It's so delicate that it feels like it might crumble if touched too hard. This is what a shortcake should be like! - Pudding: $2.80 A three-layered dessert with custard pudding, cream, and caramel sauce. Creamy and sweet with a hint of bitterness from the caramel. - Potiron: $3.70 A pumpkin tart with cinnamon cream and whipped cream on top. The combination of cinnamon aroma and sweet pumpkin creates a delightful experience when you take a bite.

Shortly after opening, I visited the store when they still had flowers like orchids for the grand opening displayed. I bought some baked goods as souvenirs at that time. The person I bought from said they were delicious. Two months have passed since then, and the heat has subsided, so I stopped by the store on my way home from work. It is located by a row of Zelkova trees and stands out as bright in the evening. Beautiful cakes were displayed. I wanted to buy a cake, but I had too many things to carry, so I decided to go with a roll cake this time. They had cream roll and chocolate roll, so I bought both. The cakes were priced around 380-400 yen. They packed the two roll cakes in a box, so I was able to carry them home without crushing them. I decided to have the cream roll for dessert. The sponge was moist and fluffy, filled with fresh cream. The sweetness was subtle, making it easy to devour. The aftertaste was delightful, this is good!! So delicious, I want another slice!! I wanted to try the chocolate roll as well, but I'll save it for tomorrow... On the right side from here, Sakura Street is filled with competition from cake shops like Louban, Chez Andre, and Labo. It feels like a fierce battle zone for cake shops.

I was looking for a delicious cake shop near Fuchu, and this shop came up in my search, so I decided to check it out. After getting off at Fuchu Station, I walked north along the Zelkova tree-lined street for about 5 minutes, and the shop is located right where the tree-lined street ends. It has a small appearance, but it feels new and fresh as it was recently opened. I'm not a fan of greasy cream, but the cream at Bonbonniere is light, making me feel happy while eating it. Last time, I made a reservation for the Christmas cake with strawberry tart. The combination of custard cream and strawberries, with a pistachio tart as a lovely accent, was delightful. My family seems to like the mousse in cups with Snoopy illustrations, so our collection of Snoopy cups at home keeps growing. It's such a wonderful cake shop, and I hope it continues to prosper for a long time.

A new patisserie opened in Fuchu-cho 1-chome on July 14, 2012. It is located near R○○AN and A○○iLa○. The shop is not very big, with a glass case displaying fresh cakes, roll cakes, puddings, and a shelf with baked goods. Since it was my first visit, I bought a strawberry shortcake (380 yen) and a cream puff (180 yen). The shortcake was 10 yen cheaper than R○○AN's. It looked delicious with plenty of whipped cream, similar to La Bonbonniere. The cream puff had a generous amount of cream, a mix of whipped cream and custard cream. It was rich and flavorful, with a good scent of vanilla beans. The shortcake had a lightly sweetened whipped cream and moist sponge cake, leaving a good aftertaste. It was a delicious treat, and I look forward to seeing the shop develop further, even though they mainly offer classic cakes.
