Coffee and pastries at Cafe&Meal Muji, Aoyama

by Bianca

I have meant to drop by this cafe since like forever but somehow only made it today. I’ve always wondered what the mega brand’s cafe would be like. It definitely did not disappoint.

The interior of the cafe did not wander far from the brand’s simple aesthetics. Warm wood was chosen to line its floor and tables. The walls were full with rows of jars filled with condiments of various hues and colors.

What surprised me the most was how inexpensive the cafe was. Two sorts of pastries and two glasses of coffee cost 980 yen.

And the pastries were delicious. For the coffee, they didn’t really have much choices. Only black coffee and cafe au lait, but it tasted alright. They also have a choice of salads to munch on if you are planning to have a healthy lunch. I totally loved the vibe of this place and will definitely be coming back for more.

HEART BREAD ANTIQUE bakery

by Bianca

While strolling through Ginza yesterday, I stumbled upon this cute little bakery in an alley behind the Paul Start store.

By the time I wrote this post, the name of the place became lost to me. I just could not place it. Something with bread? With heart ? But I remember there being something antique involved ?

So I ruffled through my receipt, and sure enough, it was Heart Bread Antique. At first I thought it was a doughnut store since most of the bread on sale were made to look like one.

There is a cafe on the second floor. You purchase your bread in the bakery and eat it upstairs. The choice of beverages were limited and the coffee they served was simple black coffee. Two breads and a coffee will cost you about 2000 yen.

The bread tasted good. Not too sweet. And later on I found out they were very well-known for their “Angel’s Chocolate Rings”. Basically bread with chocolate fillings.

If ever you find yourself strolling through Ginza and suddenly feel a craving for some bread rings, this would be the place to visit. This is their address :
