Nishi-Ogikubo is a neighborhood lined with delicious, locally-sourced shops. If you leave the north exit of the station and walk straight down the shopping street, you'll come across a shop that gives off the aroma of sweet, soft butter and sugar. That shop's name is Amy's Bakeshop.


Amy's Bakeshop is an American-style baked goods shop that opened in 2010. The owner, Yoshino, originally worked at a space design company and baked sweets as a hobby. As she distributed the sweets she made, people around her began asking her to open a shop, and her desire to recreate the taste of the baked goods she had eaten in New York, led her to open a shop in her hometown of Nishi-Ogikubo.


When you enter the store, the first thing that catches your eye is the wide variety of baked goods rhythmically arranged on the display table. Muffins and scones are baked every morning to ensure a fresh, delicious taste, while pound cakes, which are left to rest for a short time to achieve their moistness, are served at the perfect time. The lineup of over 30 types of baked goods is mesmerizing just by looking at them. You'll have a hard time deciding which one to buy.

When creating the menu, he says he values "contrast," and is conscious of avoiding monotonous flavors by combining a crispy texture with a moist texture, or by creating different flavors such as sourness and sweetness.

Of the menu items with such a twist, he says that the "Muffin (Blue Cheese & Fig & Salt)" (380 yen) and "Marron Cake" (400 yen) are particularly recommended.

"Muffin (Blue Cheese, Fig, and Salt)" (380 yen)
The "Muffin (Blue Cheese, Fig, and Salt)" has a deep flavor that matches the unique aroma and saltiness of blue cheese with the fruity sweet and sour taste of the dried figs generously spread at the bottom. The honey-flavored almond cream used as a secret ingredient adds a rich sweetness. Apparently, the owner came up with the idea for this menu item while drinking wine, and the exquisite balance of sweet and salty flavors makes it the perfect accompaniment to wine.

"Marron Cake" (400 yen)
The "Marron Cake" is filled with chunks of marron glacé and is made with chestnut flour to bring out a cohesive flavor, preventing the marron and pound cake fillings from having different flavors. It is a luxurious dish where the aroma and sweetness of marrons fills your mouth with just one bite.

Owner Yoshino
The baked goods at Amy's Bake Shop all have the heavy, satisfying texture and casual atmosphere that you expect from American-style baked goods, while also boasting an elegant taste and beautiful appearance.

In preparation for opening her shop, Yoshino studied the fundamentals of French pastry making at the Tokyo branch of Le Cordon Bleu, a Paris-based culinary school. Drawing on what she learned there, she combines elegant seasonings and meticulous craftsmanship in her pursuit of original American-style baked goods, while retaining the characteristically rough and rational approach that is, in a good way, characteristic of American-style baked goods.

What's common to all of the baked goods is that they are made with generous amounts of high-quality ingredients and baked with care. Every bite conveys the shop's sincere commitment to pursuing deliciousness.

Popular items include the "Carrot Cake" (360 yen) and "Poppy Seed Cake" (370 yen)
Just as noteworthy as the sweets are the shop's interior and exterior design. It's said that Yoshino designed all of these. The shop, which has the theme of "a space that blends into everyday life but adds a touch of spice," is decorated in colors such as black and dark brown, and features brick and iron materials, creating a chic and stately appearance reminiscent of a street corner overseas.The atmosphere is also welcoming for men, and people of all ages and genders come to buy baked goods.

Yoshino also designed the logo, incorporating the letters “A”, “M”, in reference to the shop's name, "Amy's Bakeshop."

The mugs and plates used are carefully selected, and the store's sense of style shines through everywhere.
The store also has an eat-in space where you can enjoy baked goods with a drink, so we recommend visiting at tea time. There is also a school on the second floor of the store, where you can learn the store's recipes at a pace of one recipe per month throughout the semester.


As you wonder what to buy in the store, filled with sweet aromas, your heart will fill with happiness. And one bite is sure to make you feel even happier!

You'll surely be hooked on the familiar yet elegant flavors of their baked goods.
