Dominique Ansel Bakery in Tokyo

The Bakery was opened last November in Omotesandou, and it  became an immediate sensation in Tokyo. The opened day, many people waited in a long line for 4 to 6 hours just to get a pastry... I don't think I can wait for that long...
I know this bakery before its opens by magazine and TV, and I was so curious how it tastes like. 

Last Friday was a day off and visited the bakery right after its opened.
 I only know some their specialties from the magazine, but I didn't know they also sell variety of bread and cakes.  

All looks good, but the price is pretty expensive compared to other regular bakeries in Japan. Couldn't try everything...but I got one monkey from the case showcase and took it to my home.  You will see below :)

I tried the one I really wanted to eat from the menu. 

Frozen S'more!

Every time I saw it on TV, it looked so good.

One bite...

Mmm...very, very sweet!

I couldn't swallow it without coffee...

Very unique, but I don't think I will have it again.

1F is EAT IN and TAKE OUT and it is self-service only. 
2F is a cafe "PETIT PARK Cafe" and they charge 10% service fee. 

I couldn't find a seat at 1F, so I had a frozen s'more and coffee with full service at 2F.

(Sorry, you can't order cronut at a cafe)

It seems everyone does not want to pay 10% service charge, so all the seats at 1F were full. I also didn't want to pay the service charge, but I didn't want to stand holding the foods and wait for a table for a long time... 

Second floor, the cafe, is quiet, and I could relaxed and have the food and drink quietly with full service.

Pretty monkey from the bakery! (Cream Puff)

Puff is stuffed with rich coffee cream, and it really hit my taste buds!  

I want to try other cakes if I could go back there again

Rituel

On Valentine's day, my friend got me macaons at Ritual. 

Rituel is the first boulangerie by Chistophe Vasseur opened in Jiyugaoka, Tokyo last Augusut. His original boulangerie "Du Pain et Des Idees" is opened in Paris, 2002.

Second one is opened in Omotesando last November,too.

The blue box is just lovely! I didn't expect to get a present on special day. Happy! ❤

Lovely heart shaped Macaron were lied in the box!

I expected the french macaron, but I found Lovely Heart Shaped Macarons instead.

Happy Valentine's day! :)

L'escargot chocolat pistache & Le chausson à la pomme fraiche

She also got me bread and apple pie!

It seems the bread is the most famous one at the shop.

Yum, yum!

Valentine's Day

My cute & lovely friend "Sara", three years old, gave me the homemade chocolates on Valentine's day. It's not like chocolates shops sells, but it was the great present for the special day from my little friend. Thank you, Sara-chan!

Chocolate lolly is Mickey's face. It seems she drew the eyes and mouth on the surface with the decorating pen, but it is hard to see them :)
(I could not noticed them until her mother told me so... )
