Akiruno, Tokyo, Japan｜La Fougasse

This cafe is like something from a dream. Rustic, warm, outdoor seating that looks over the river, and the food is incredible! Maybe the best cup of coffee I've had in Japan, and the staff are always so welcoming and patient. The pastry options are endless, and the fresh loafs of bread you can take home come in a large variety.

Fresh baked bread with lunch. Limited menu but good. Free bread refills. Outdoor seating available. I will go again.

A bakery with a cafe. Dogs are allowed on the terrace seats. It's just too hot in summer. There were 3 types of lunch, 2 types of soup lunch and 3 types of smoked salmon salad lunch. All you can eat bread (you can choose fermented butter or olive oil), drink and dessert. You can choose from 4 types of desserts. In the all-you-can-eat bread here, you don't have to go pick up what's on the table, but you can choose the type, but the shop will bring you 5 types of bread selected by the shop. For refills, check whether the amount is the same as the first, half, or a little more on the handed paper. Refills came out with completely different bread from the beginning. I wrote the all-you-can-eat rule, but the level of bread is different from the all-you-can-eat bread chain store. It was a special bread, and it was very delicious and made me feel happy. The soup is delicious as well as the bread. Soup comes with salad and pickles. Also, even if you don't choose lunch, you can use the cafe if you choose bread in the store and order a drink. Summer is fine if you want to eat inside the store, but spring and autumn are recommended if you want to take your dog and use the terrace seats.
