Yumeya

Reviewers say the croissants have a noticeable buttery flavour and crisp texture even when they are no longer fresh from the oven. They are a tempting place to start when choosing bread at Yumeya. The salt bread has also won praise: its dough was not too firm, its flavour was pronounced, and it tasted good without being warmed in a toaster. Try one of each to compare their buttery notes and textures.

For something sweet, options include a cream bun generously filled with cream and a melonpan that one diner said was easy to keep eating. Other customers have picked up cream-filled cornet rolls and anko butter sandwiches, alongside sweet breads suited to a snack and more substantial choices. Savoury breads and sandwiches are another draw. On one visit shortly before noon, around 4 types of sandwich and a combined total of about 9 savoury and sweet breads were on display. Some customers chose a pork cutlet sandwich or a fried prawn sandwich, making the selection worth a look if you want a light meal.

Yumeya is a small shop, and some customers particularly like its bacon epi and other crusty breads. There may be few items left at certain times, so if you have a particular bread in mind, visiting earlier is one option. The shop offers takeaway only, not dine-in, and accepts cash only.
