3. A Bakery Café from France

3. A Bakery Café from France

Brioche Dorée is a bakery café that has 300 shops in France. A popular choice is the "Muffinoiserie" made from croissant dough which is baked after being shaped like a muffin and filled with cream, making a delicious hybrid pastry. The outside is flaky and the inside is chewy, offering a new kind of taste. Another recommendation is a Japan special "Croissant Bread" which uses ingredients equivalent to 8 croissants, 900 yen per loaf. It is great for meals or snacks and is only available for half loaf or a loaf via take-out. Open until 10:00 p.m.
