Introduction
Spring is one of the best seasons to enjoy a walk or picnic in Shinjuku, especially around places such as Shinjuku Gyoen and Shinjuku Central Park. A good bakery makes that outing even better.
Shinjuku has a wide range of bakeries, from convenient shops near the station to long-established favorites, popular stores with lines, and neighborhood bakeries full of character. From croissants and baguettes to sandwich bread, savory breads, and donut-style items, there is plenty to choose from.
In this article, we have selected eight recommended bakeries in Shinjuku from the original 12-shop roundup.
Best Bakeries in Shinjuku for Takeaway
1.BOUL’ANGE Shinjuku Southern Terrace
The first bakery on the list is BOUL’ANGE Shinjuku Southern Terrace, located in the Southern Terrace area near Shinjuku South Exit.
The bakery offers breads made with carefully selected flour from around the world and seasonal ingredients. New items appear regularly, so there is always something new to discover. Its location also makes it an easy stop before heading out for a walk or picnic.
2.BOUL’ANGE Shinjuku 4-chome
The second Shinjuku branch of BOUL’ANGE opened in September 2025 on the street near NEWoMan Shinjuku and Takashimaya Shinjuku.
This branch has a different lineup from the Southern Terrace location, including croissants in circle, triangle, and square shapes. Picking up bread here and taking it to Shinjuku Gyoen for a picnic is also recommended.
3.Bakery & Restaurant Sawamura Shinjuku
Located inside the NEWoMan Shinjuku food hall, Bakery & Restaurant Sawamura Shinjuku is a bakery originally from Karuizawa.
It opens from 7:00 AM, which makes it a useful option for breakfast or an early start to the day. In addition to a wide variety of breads, the shop also offers fresh and filling salads for takeaway.
4.Truffle Bakery Lumine Shinjuku
Truffle Bakery Lumine Shinjuku opened in June 2025 inside Lumine Shinjuku 1.
As the name suggests, this bakery is known for truffle-based items such as white truffle salt bread and white truffle hot dogs. The interior is comfortable, but takeaway for a picnic in Shinjuku Gyoen is also a great option.
5.Panya Shiomi
Panya Shiomi, located about five minutes from Minami-Shinjuku Station, is another recommended bakery.
Its signature items are country bread and sandwich bread baked in the oven, and they often sell out quickly. The bakery is next to the grocery shop FarmMart & Friends, so visiting both together is also a good idea.
6.La Baguette Main Factory Shop
In the Shinjuku 6-chome area, La Baguette Main Factory Shop is one of the standout choices.
As the shop name suggests, baguettes are a specialty here, known for their authentic French-style firmness. Sandwiches made with baguette are also popular and sometimes sell out, so they are worth buying if available.
7.3-chome no Chiisana Panyasan (Chiipan)
This small bakery in Shinjuku 5-chome is affectionately known as Chiipan.
True to its name, the bakery offers many half-size or smaller breads. Because of its location, it is also popular with international visitors. The lineup includes a wide range of items, including cute animal-shaped breads and fresh donut-style items that children may also enjoy.
8.MORETHAN BAKERY
The last featured bakery is MORETHAN BAKERY, located inside HOTEL THE KNOT TOKYO Shinjuku in Nishi-Shinjuku.
Rather than aiming to be a luxury boutique bakery, it presents itself as a neighborhood bakery rooted in the Nishi-Shinjuku area, with an atmosphere that feels somewhat like an overseas bakery. It offers everything from croissants and danishes to donuts and hard breads. One recommended item is the ham sandwich made with baguette, ham, cheese, and lettuce. Donuts from the vegan donut specialty brand SUNDAY VEGAN are also sold here, making it another good option for a picnic in Shinjuku Central Park.
Also Worth Noting
The original Japanese article also introduces other bakeries such as Sumie Pan Odakyu Ace North Building SHINJUKU DELISH PARK, MIGNON Shinjuku Odakyu Ace, Panya no Donsuke, and Mineya Factory Outlet.
Together, these shops show just how varied Shinjuku’s bakery scene is, from station-connected convenience and long-established favorites to factory-direct stores and neighborhood shops.
