Boulangerie Sudo

Layers of crisp pastry bring together honey’s sweetness and the richness of cream cheese. The Honey and Cream Cheese Danish is a standout at Boulangerie Sudo, and a tempting choice for anyone in the mood for something sweet. Diners describe it as light and flaky, with a sweet-and-savoury balance from the cream cheese and honey. Some note that the syrup can spill, so it may be best enjoyed soon after taking it away.

For a more pronounced honey flavour, there is also honey toast, described as bread soaked with honey and then baked. Diners mention its fragrant, toasted surface and moist centre. It offers a different take on bread from the Danish. Those after something savoury have chosen the eggplant and coarse-ground sausage tartine or focaccia with Brussels sprouts and firefly squid. Sweet pastries, savoury breads and baked treats may all be on offer, making it appealing to pick up a few things to share.

The shop in Setagaya, Setagaya-ku, is takeaway only. It opens from 11:00 to 19:00 on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays, and is closed Monday through Thursday. Payment is cash only, so come prepared.
