Gureteru

The croissants are a good place to start. One visitor who chose several flaky varieties enjoyed the crisp texture of the plain croissant. Another counted the cheese croissant among their favourites, so it could be fun to compare a simple version with one filled with cheese. One report put the plain croissant at 120 yen, though prices are best checked when you visit.

For something more substantial, options include egg rolls, ham rolls, sandwiches and yakisoba bread. A diner who warmed the egg and ham rolls in a toaster liked the balance between the bread and its filling. Regulars also mention the ham sandwich and yakisoba bread, while another visitor enjoyed Okonomi pan for its nostalgic flavour. The savoury selection is unpretentious and varied.

For a sweet bite, look for stick-shaped milk bread or chocolate sticks. One customer picked up a pack of 5 chocolate breads from the chilled case, describing the soft bread and smooth chocolate as a good match. Another enjoyed a stick-shaped bread with cool, crisp chocolate as an easy snack. The bakery reportedly offers 3 kinds of loaf bread, including varieties made with fresh cream or butter. Visitors have also said they received help choosing a loaf to suit their needs, which may be useful when shopping for breakfast.

Gureteru in Hirano-ku is takeaway-only, with no seating for dining in. It opens from 6:00 and is closed on Tuesdays. The listing says payment is cash only, so it is sensible to bring cash.
