01 / ABOUT THE PLACE
About this place
Situated along a street in Funabori, Edogawa Ward, The Oak Bakery operates as an over-the-counter bakery where customers make their selections directly from the showcase. Taking time to browse through the display glass adds a quiet pleasure to the morning routine for bread enthusiasts.
Crusty Loaves and Table Breads Full of Grain Character
The bakery's crusty breads stand out, showcasing deep wheat aromas and firm crusts. Selections include classic baguettes, the signature Baguette Oak, batards, country sourdough loaves, and Seigle 100, dense with the flavor of rye. Distinctive combinations such as honey with gorgonzola or sun-dried tomato and olive baguettes also make fine partners for wine. For everyday breakfast tables, everyday staples like pain de mie, hard toast, and soft dinner rolls are well represented.
Crisp Flaky Layers and Sweet Treats
The sweet pastries and danishes are equally inviting. Beyond crisp, multi-layered croissants and pain au chocolat, the mont-blanc danish topped with rich astringent-skin chestnut cream has a devoted following. A lavishly filled premium cream bun and brulee toast with caramelized sugar provide satisfying options for an afternoon snack.
Savory Bakes and Sandwiches for Lunch
When looking for something more substantial for midday, hearty sandwiches and savory bakes deliver. Crisp-crusted banh mi, pastrami, and egg sandwiches sit alongside croque monsieur with melted cheese and savory ham, as well as slices of quiche.
Tips for Visiting
The shop operates exclusively for takeout, with morning-focused hours running from 8:30 to 12:30. It is closed on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, so checking the schedule before a visit is recommended. Contactless payment options, including major credit cards, PayPay, and Rakuten Pay, are accepted at the register. It makes an easy stop for picking up bread during a morning outing.
