Hayashi Bakery

Opening its doors at 7:00 as fresh loaves and pastries begin lining the shelves, Hayashi Bakery is a neighborhood shop where locals stop by for their daily breakfast and snacks. The earliest morning selection features popular favorites like fluffy egg sandwiches and croissants with a crisp shell and a dense, tender interior. The daily shokupan loaves have also earned a loyal following, with regulars often buying in quantity to enjoy throughout the week.

Those seeking a heartier bite can turn to the shop's moist, chewy bagels and diverse savory breads. Offerings range from bagel sandwiches filled with spinach and bacon to crispy curry bread, alongside casse-croûte sandwiches and baguette hot dogs that turn delightfully crisp and fragrant when reheated in a toaster oven, striking a fine balance between chewy crust and satisfying fillings.

Alongside everyday savory staples, the bakery takes equal care with sweet breads and baked treats suited to afternoon tea. Highlights include a popular, generous raisin koppe-pan roll that often sells out during morning hours, as well as crumbly, tender scones and aromatic florentines, offering plenty of inviting choices.

All sales are takeout only, with no eat-in seating available inside. Because the selection can dwindle by the afternoon, visiting earlier in the day is recommended if you have specific items in mind. Dedicated free parking is available a short walk west along the same row of buildings, and cashless payments via PayPay are accepted at the register.
