Parlour Ekoda

I went here a few months ago but I can’t forget how rudely I was treated. I was going to eat in but just ended up getting some bread to take away, as I was hurt by how the staff acted towards me. One of the few times I’ve felt unwelcome while being in Japan.

Ridiculously awesome hole-in-wall, sandwiched (hah) between houses in Tokyo suburbia, however suburban Tokyo can get. I haven't tried their bread, but I had an amazingly juicy pear tart. Customers were all local, but Ekoda is a neat area. Leave Shibuya behind, come here instead!

Jesus is their bread good. They make sourdough! Nobody makes sourdough in Japan! I come here to buy bread but it's also a cafe. The place is tiny with only one table and a counter though, so good luck getting a seat.

Good espresso drinks, really good bread, and friendly staff. The space is a little small, but it has a great atmosphere. Highly recommended.

Great little sandwich place. The bread, as mentioned many times, is fantastic. The coffee was good as well. The staff was super friendly and just pleasant to be around. I highly recommend this place.
