About this place
At BAKE STORE, a smoked salmon and cream cheese sandwich is reason enough to visit, and the sourdough loaves may tempt you to take one home as well. Diners who have tried the sandwich describe it as generously filled and satisfying as a meal, and praise the combination of salmon and cream cheese. If you want to explore the bread, you could order a sandwich and choose another loaf to take away.
The bakery describes its signature “White” as having the savoury depth of a starter maintained over many years, balanced by a gentle, yoghurt-like tang. Suggested pairings include salted butter, or cheese on a well-toasted slice. One customer who tried the miche bread reported aromas of rye alongside a mild acidity, with a moist, chewy crumb. The bread list also includes “Rye”, made with 70% rye flour; the bakery suggests topping it with avocado or serving it with tomato dishes or cream-based soup.
For something sweeter, “Fruit” combines 2 kinds of raisins with cranberries, figs and spices such as cinnamon and coriander. Try it toasted with butter, or with vanilla ice cream as a dessert. BAKE STORE in Umegaoka offers takeaway only; there is no dine-in service.
