Bon Bon
Nagoya’s pioneer western sweets shop.
This long-standing sweets shop and café was originally founded in 1949 as a sweets wholesale. Inside you’ll find a cozy, retro setting that awaits in warm welcome.
Once inside you’ll find as many as 30 different mini desserts at any time, including the standard shortcake or other limited cakes made with heaps of seasonal fruits. One hot item is the “Maron” (chestnut) cake, featuring the perfect blend of whipped cream and delicious sponge cake. You can enjoy your sweets here at the shop or order them for takeout.
There’s also plenty of café favorites to try, like the Pudding Royal parfait. To go with your cakes you’ll even find extra strong blend coffee. The pudding is another popular item, blending the best of caramel’s bitter and sweet flavors. You can enjoy all this starting at 10AM on weekdays, with a special breakfast special that includes toast and eggs at the cost of only your drink order.
