cocofulu

The array of baked sweets and cakes filling the showcase brings visitors to an easy halt. The apple pie at cocofulu immediately draws the eye, generously packed with large chunks of apple. Tart fruit layered with warm cinnamon notes balances comfortably against the fragrant, flaky crunch of the pie crust. The bakery case also shows considerable breadth, featuring a smooth Basque cheesecake that yields effortlessly to a fork, a matcha Basque variation, and carrot cake accented with crunchy walnuts and fragrant spices.

A visit for a savory meal proves just as rewarding as dropping in for dessert. Substantial quiches and sandwiches stacked with plenty of vegetables and savory fillings offer dependable satisfaction at lunchtime. Pairing them with warm soup and a side salad turns crusty, aromatic bread into a comforting midday pause.

Ordering takes place on the 1st floor before you head up the stairs, where calm seating on the 2nd floor awaits. Select window seats look out over the greenery of the adjacent Kyu-Furukawa Gardens, making this a favored spot for a breather before or after a stroll. Distinctive drinks such as the lavender honey latte or crisp housemade ginger ale make easy companions for a relaxed afternoon.
