Sakura Bakery Cafe

Cult-favourite Japanese bakery-café near the State Department Store, known for fluffy cheesecake, cakes and cheap, tasty katsu.

A compact, Japanese-run bakery and café that feels like a neighbourhood spot in Tokyo. It is hugely popular, so queues at lunchtime are normal and seating is tight.

Come for Japanese-style cakes and the famous soft cheesecake, or stay for a simple meal of pork or chicken cutlet, curry or udon at modest prices. Better for a quick bite and a cake to go than for lingering over a laptop.
