About this place
Choosing a tempting loaf from the display and pairing it with freshly brewed coffee makes for an easy little break in the day. Inside a welfare centre in Bunkyo City, Cafe Bumbun is an open, welcoming café where people can drop in for a light bite or a drink.
The range of breads is a particular favourite among visitors. There are pastries made for a snack, from crisp croissants to anpan filled with sweet bean paste and cream, a combination that appeals to those with a sweet tooth. Savoury options such as the bacon-and-potato dog are on offer too, making it easy to satisfy a small hunger at an affordable price.
For a more substantial midday meal, there is a good selection of dishes to choose from. Options include Bolognese with pleasantly chewy pasta, European-style curry with shredded beef, butter chicken curry and mentaiko cream udon—comforting dishes with familiar appeal. A children's curry is also available, giving diners across generations an option to order.
From morning sets to afternoon desserts, the café suits different times of day, with both table seating and an airy terrace to choose from. Between nearby errands or along a walk, take a breather over a hot drink or soft-serve ice cream.
