French Pastry Shop in Kitahama, Osaka
💗 Grenier Kitahama Store is a small French pastry shop located in the Kitahama area, a must-visit spot for anyone traveling to Osaka.
💗 The shop is charmingly decorated in a home café style. While primarily a takeaway shop, there are a few small seating areas in front of the store for customers to enjoy their treats.
💗 Their signature dessert is the Mille-feuille, available in various flavors and served in large portions. It's recommended to share as one piece might be too much for one person. The fruit topping changes with the season; I got a large, sweet, and juicy strawberry. The taste is delightful, with just the right amount of sweetness. The cream, custard filling, and crispy puff pastry perfectly complement the sweet and tangy flavor of the strawberry, making it refreshing and not overly rich.
💗 The price for Mille-feuille starts at around 1,000 to 2,000 yen. While it may seem a bit pricey, it's definitely worth it.
💗 Besides Mille-feuille, the shop also offers a variety of other baked goods such as cookies, madeleines, financiers, and many other French pastries. They also serve beverages like black tea, green tea, and oolong tea.
