BARTIZAN Bread Factory boasts its use of strictly healthy ingredients without losing out on the taste factor. The grain bread (¥1,110 per loaf) is made of rye and loaded with sunflower seeds and linseeds, which are recommended for detox purposes and dieting. The signature BARTIZAN sourdough bread (¥1,200 per loaf) is made of only natural yeast, water and salt. With the subtle sour flavors and brittle crust, the bread complements a warm cup of coffee or a glass of wine in the evening to top off your day.

This artisanal bakery promises other palatable classics including ciabatta (¥150), baguettes (¥350) and seasonal goods. The menu also features hot sandwiches made with sourdough ciabatta bread (¥380) — imagine an upgraded toastie that’s healthier and with a more satisfying crunch.

In the bakery’s indoor cafe space, visitors can grab a seat by the floor-to-ceiling windows and bask in the sunlight, all while enjoying the calming greenery that surrounds the exterior. Those in need of a stylish work space can enjoy some laptop time away from home as the cafe supports electronics use with overhead power sockets and Wi-Fi.
