10 Recommended Bakeries in Akihabara: Convenient for Takeout

In recent years, there has been a boom in heated bread, such as premium bread and banh mi!
Did you know that Akihabara actually has many bakeries?
So, this time I've put together a list of bakeries in Akihabara.
I want you to feel the "magic of fluffy"!!

Bakeries in Akihabara Electric Town

Donq Edite Atre Akihabara Store - Bakery near the station inside Atre

This bakery is located inside Atre Akihabara 1, just a short walk from the Electric Town exit.
They sell a variety of breads, including fluffy salted butter bread that is only available at this store.
It's close to the station, so it's a very convenient place to stop by after work.

VIE DE FRANCE Dining Akihabara Branch - Enjoy an early morning cafe breakfast!

This bakery is located in Daibiru Akihabara, just outside the Electric Town exit of JR Akihabara Station.
The store has a large eat-in space and offers a wide range of lunch options, including pasta, curry, and desserts in addition to bread.
It opens early in the morning, so it's also recommended for those who want to satisfy their hunger with a cafe breakfast.
By the way, I think the Akihabara store is probably the only V de France store with the name Dining.
You can even drink Dr Pepper!

Bakeries and bakeries near Akihabara Showa Street

VIE DE FRANCE Akihabara Bakery -Yamazaki Group Bakery Cafe

A bakery located in the free passageway "Waiwai Marche" on the first floor of Yodobashi Akiba.
There is a wide variety of bread available, including salted butter French bread and curry bread.
Apart from convenience stores and supermarkets in Akihabara, the only places you can eat curry bread are probably Vie de France and Mister Donut!
The eat-in space is small in proportion to the store's size, so it may be best to use it mainly for takeout.
By the way, V de France is a wholly owned subsidiary of Yamazaki Baking, and is said to be a pioneer of bakery cafe culture in Japan.

HACHI PAN CAFE - A bakery cafe from Hiroshima famous for its cream buns

Hattendo, a well-established bakery famous in Hiroshima, is located inside Akihabara Metro Pia, in front of the ticket gates of Akihabara Station on the Tokyo Metro Hibiya Line.
It has been revived as a bakery cafe in the same location as the former Hatendo bakery that closed down.
Popular signature dishes such as cream buns and Hachipan French toast seem to be recommended.
Of course, there is an eat-in space inside the store, so it would be a good idea to stop by for a little while before heading out on the Tokyo Metro.

Verde Regalo Sakumacho Branch - Natural yeast bread and side dishes shop

This bakery is located near My Basket Kanda Sakumacho store, along the underpass of the Sobu Line heading from JR Akihabara to JR Asakusabashi Station.
This is a branch of an Italian restaurant and bakery in Asakusabashi, and this store is only a bakery.
They sell not only bread but also side dishes, so you can have lunch there.Not enoughHow about having it with your meal?

Bread and Sacoche

A small bakery located near Mitsui Memorial Hospital, easily recognizable by its blue exterior.
Despite being located in a difficult-to-find location, not facing a major street, it is a popular restaurant with lines forming before it even opens.
There are a variety of breads lined up on the counter, but many items are sold out by lunchtime.

Akihabara is home to a variety of bakeries!

Akihabara doesn't really have an image of being a bread place, but when I looked around I found quite a few.
There are several shops in the Akihabara area that have ties to Yamazaki Bread, as the company's headquarters are located in Chiyoda Ward.
As a result, there are many Daily Yamazaki stores around Iwamotocho Station.
It is also clear that stores selling so-called "high-quality bread" are also expanding into the market.
I hope this article will help you find some delicious bread.

Brioche Doree (Yodobashi Akiba store) - Enjoy authentic French bread!

This bakery is located in the "Waiwai Marche" free passage on the first floor of Yodobashi Akiba, just a short walk from the Showa-dori exit of Akihabara Station.
Originally a very popular chain with over 300 stores across France, you can enjoy authentic French breads like croissants and baguettes at reasonable prices!
There is an eat-in space inside the store, but it is very small so it may fill up quickly depending on the time of day.

Ginza Nishikawa Akihabara Branch - Simple, high-quality bread made with carefully selected water

A popular bread specialty store located about a 7-minute walk from the Showa-dori exit.
The Akihabara store opened in November 2019, coinciding with the high-end bread boom of that year.
They only have one type of bread, and the bread is made with carefully selected ingredients, such as alkaline ionized water, so it has a reputation for its deliciousness and often sells out in a day.
We recommend you make a reservation before purchasing!

Yamazaki Lunch Pack Shop Akihabara - A Lunch Pack Specialty Store with a Wide Variety of Food

A lunch pack specialty store located in front of the ticket gates at Akihabara Station on the Tsukuba Express.
They have a wide variety of Lunch Packs on offer, from convenience store staples to rare regional products, making it a hot spot for Lunch Pack enthusiasts.
However, since the store is located underground, it may be a little difficult to find for those who do not normally use the Tsukuba Express.

Premium Bread Specialty Shop Sakimoto Akihabara Branch - A bread specialty shop near the station

Located in the East-West Passageway, this high-end bread specialty store is currently the closest to Akihabara Station.
This is a brand new store that just opened in December 2020 on the site of the former "PABLO Akihabara store." (Just like bread.)
They sell two types of bread, Gokubi "Natural" and Gokunama "Milk Butter," as well as about 16 types of jewel jam.
It would make a great souvenir.
