Snacking in Sapporo ― 2024/11/22
Around our place, there are very few spots where I can enjoy a cup of coffee and a bite to eat.
Actually there are cafes in this area, but they look too "formal" or "proper" for me to drop in on my way to shopping or for a walk.
For example this.
700yen at Rokka-tei cafe. Very nice. Beautifully presented with good ingredients. But probably too nice.
Once you get to the city centre, options are plenty. The followings are what I have had in the last few months.
Around 600 yen. Onigiri and Zangi (the local name for fried chicken) at a local bakery called Donguri (acorn). Hot tea is free.
About 500 yen at a cafe in Maruzen-Junkudo bookstore. I'm not sure if this cafe still exists because some gourmet guides said it was closed.
Around 300 yen for as long as I can remember. Onigiri again at an onigiri cafe called Arinko (baby ant). It was a bit awkward to order just one onigiri when they offer a hot towel and tea for free.
Half a bun and an iced coffee (300 yen) at a bakery/cafe called Pain Au Traditionnel in Maruyama. This shop was nice and attentive. When I said that half a bun was enough for me, they kindly cut it in half (of course I paid the full price (around 300 yen) and took another half home). And offered me a bit of another bun to try. The problem is, this cafe is very far from our place.
A coffee (about 350 yen) and a free doughnut at a Krispy Kreme. A branch of this doughnut shop chain has a "morning special" where you can get a free doughnut if you buy a coffee or other specified drinks during certain hours in the morning.
Around 700 yen. A scone and coffee at a bagel& scone specialist bakery called Namakemono (sloth) Cafe in Nakanoshima. It was only when I paid that I realised this place was out of my price range.
Then this might be my ultimate choice in Sapporo. A pancake plus boiled egg with drink bar （around 500 yen as a morning special price) at Gusto. Just good enough for me and my wallet. I like the cat-like waiting robot, too. It is not particularly cute or adorable, but it has a certain amount of likeability.
