Best bakery I’ve been to in my life

And that’s saying something, because we’ve been to a LOT of vegan bakeries but this was just incredible!!! Both savoury and sweet - the curry cheese pastry was unreal, and the chocolate croissant was the best I’ve ever had. Fellow vegans with a craving for pastry- you have to come here!!

Savory and sweet bliss

Charming little bakery with a beautiful and delectable assortment of savory and sweet baked goods. Located on a quiet street near a neighborhood family park.

Delicous egg-tart like melonpan

I tried their pistachio croissant, plain crossaint, “chicken” tandori sanwich, shiratama zunda sandwich, and pineapple melonpan.

If there’s one that I’d recommend anyone to try here, it’s their pineapple melonpan. It doesn’t seem to be like the traditional melonpan, but it doesn’t really matter. It was so good. I like that it has some dried coconut to it which complemets the taste of pineapple. It tasted so tropical! What I like the most is it tasted like egg tart without being too sweet. 5/5 for the melonpan.

The shiratama zunda sandwich was also good. It’s my first time to try a bread with shiratama (the mochi balls). The sandwich bun was so soft. The softness of the bun and the softness of mochi go well together. And the cream was also good. 4/5 for this one.

The chicken tandori sanwich was good, but not something that is mind blowing. The “chicken” part was ok, nothing special. I like that the bun had roasted sesame on it. The bread itself tasted good. 3/5 for the chickcen tandori sandwich.

I love croissants. I tried their plain one. The first thing I noticed was it was too small. It was flaky, yes, but I was disappointed when I tasted it. It wasn’t as “buttery” as I hoped. And just because a croissant is vegan doesn’t mean it cannot have a buttery taste to it. The croissants I eat back home have buttery taste even though they’re vegan. It was disappointing. A 2.5/5.

Their pistachio croissant was good, but not as good as I hoped. The filling was really not much. I had to bite twice before I could get there. It was good but not “that” good. 3/5.

The service was ok. And the place was small. They also didn’t have much selections.

Heaven vegan bakery!

It’s a French bakery located in Azabu Juuban. I went to that area only because I really wanted to try their food! I read the reviews and saw the pictures and wanted to try everything😍We arrived very early and there wasn’t queue luckily. Place is very small but nice.
*Keep in mind that the place it’s small and you may not have the time to choose carefully because there are people in line waiting sometimes.
For a very indecisive person that was stressful😁


There’s only a bench and a table where to eat. We choose many things and ate there. I found it very good but i need to try more food to confirm ,also universal bakes in Shimokitazawa is very good! The Pistacchio and chocolate croissants were good but I wasn’t impressed.. (I’m Italian and not used to Japanese one lol chocolate cream wasn’t very amazing imo ). They kept in the fridge because had the cream inside so the flavor was a little bit altered. Without doubts their croissants were so aesthetically appealing, but they should improve the taste maybe. The nama chocolate cake was delicious and also the croquet pan!!
Oat milk latte very good!

Staff was kind . Wanna come back and eat more .

Tasty vegan doughnuts

I bought a donut and another thing here, and they were very good. I would like it to remain open when I return to Tokyo! I wish I could come back sooner.

Good selection and tasty

Everything is vegan and there is a good selection of both sweet and savory. A few items were not perfect to my taste, that’s why I’m not giving 5 stars.

Pros: Good selection, Fully vegan

Cons: Few seats, only outside

Nice little bakery

A fully vegan bakery with lots of treats to choose from. Seems to be really popular because people were queuing before it opened. We still didn't have to wait long. The staff is really nice. There's a little bench inside where you could sit but it's not really possible to stay there to eat - so mainly for take out.

Pros: Nice staff, Many options

Vegan bakery heaven!

So many different breads to choose from, it makes it difficult!
The pistachio crème croissant was sooo good! Wish more bakeries in Japan had vegan options. A bit pricey but once in a while it’s okay.
Advise to go early in the day since things get sold out.

Fresh curry pan is great...

...the rest is very sweet and junky, but it is a bakery after all. Very happy with the savory choices here, the sweets are ok (Universal Bakes does it better), a little overpriced.

There is no seating area, take out only.

Crazy good!

First of all, love an all vegan bakery. Second everything I’ve had so far has been good(except when I got the tomato pizza because it had loads of whole olives but that is a me problem).
What I’ve really loved about discovering this place is that I have been able to try things I never have had before. For example, curry pan! I thought I’d never be able to try it, but here they make it and it’s so good. I recommend the mushroom pizza and the pistachio croissant but anything you get will be good !

Pros: All vegan, Delicious, Variety

Cons: Sometimes sells out early

One of the best bakeries in Tokyo

Found this place when I was wandering around after school one day, and man… I must have spent my savings in here! No regrets.

My favs were the croquette burger and matcha creme donut

Sweeeets

Can only write a few words about the sweet selection - it was amazing. Had a filled gugelhupf, a donut and a filled walnut butter roll and was in sugar heaven.

A sweet paradise

Being forced to choose from all of the amazing options is the only bad thing I have to say about this place.

It offers vegan friendly versions of common Japanese desserts and bakery items that you just can’t get anywhere else.

I enjoyed the Croquette Burger and the Adzuki Butter roll (あんバター). Both were great and I especially recommend the croquette burger.

I also had the Salted Caramel latte, which while delicious, was a bit too sweet and rich for me

Nice little vegan bakery

They serve probably some of the best vegan bakes in Tokyo. Must visit if you get a chance. Their savoury pizza, burger goes well with sweet croissant.

My favorite vegan bakery in Japan

I can’t believe how delicious and fresh everything was, the croissants were my favorite! It’s so hard to find high quality vegan pastries in Japan but this place definitely takes the cake.

Pros: Amazing vegan pastries

Cons: Expensive

Delicious & unique

I was super excited when I heard of a vegan bakery opening near me. I went there on a Saturday and I really wanted to try the pistachio croissant but unfortunately they only had regular ones, so I‘ll try them next time!! I do have to say that the place is really small and a line forms very easily!
The girls working there were a little stressed because of the many people waiting in line but still were friendly and helpful. I tried the maritozzo which is filled with a banana cream as well as the burger and the tomato on toasted baguette. The quality of the food is really amazing and they also have fairly unique products! I will definitely go back and try more😄

Oh and definitely check their opening hours on their Instagram! They are not open everyday/on a regular schedule (yet)

Give Me All The Vegan Bakeries!!

As a huge fan of vegan bakeries, I was so excited at the announcement for the opening of Te Cor Gentil! Yes, it's quite far from my area, but I made specific plans to go and treat myself to a pastry feast! We took our pastries and ate them outside on a bench in the park across.
They have a nice variety of really delicious bread and pastries! We got the pistachio croissant, berry maritozzo, olive bread, curry bread, and mushroom toast. The names of the pastries don't quite do justice of the quality of the food. While the maritozzo was a bit average, everything else was superb. The pistachio croissant was filled with delicious cream; the curry bread was fresh and the flavor amazing; the amount of whole green olives inside the olive bread was just huge; and the mushroom toast was incredible!
My only issue with the bakery was that it was a very small space and it felt very crowded and uncomfortable with the three people behind the counter not wearing masks. I felt on edge the entire time and tried to order fast and get out. And even though there were three of them, they seemed a little distracted and their customer service left something to be desired.
