Poet

Croissant fans have praised the contrast between the crisp outside and moist centre. One person visiting in the evening described that texture, while another highlighted the mini croissants’ soft insides, crisp exterior and light, flaky layers. Reviewers also mention smaller-sized breads, making the mini croissants a good option if you want to try a few different things.

At Poet, you could pick up one sweet bread and one savoury bread for breakfast. One customer chose French toast and a mini menchi-katsu (breaded minced-meat cutlet); pairing something sweet with a more substantial bread makes for an easy takeaway breakfast to suit your mood. Potato salad bread is a favourite among the savoury options, and may appeal if you like a soft dough and a less-sweet flavour.

For those who enjoy soft bread, there is also a loaf to consider. A customer who bought 3 loaf’s worth without having it sliced described it as fine-textured, moist and soft, with a light crispness and a fluffy interior when toasted. For something sweet, another customer favours the matcha and shiratama bread, filled with matcha and soft rice-flour dumplings. Poet offers breakfast options and takeaway, making it a convenient stop for morning bread in Tanaka Okubocho.
