Falls into the category of typical Japanese Bakery


Area: Nagoya Station (closer to the Takashimaya side)
Restaurant:  Cafe Danmark カフェダンマルク
Website:  http://www.mermaid-bp.co.jp/shop/cd/

Hours: 7am-10pm

I didn't know, but this bakery/cafe is the same company as Mermaid Cafe and Danish Bar also located in Nagoya Station.  Mermaid seems to be a little more expensive, but Cafe Danmark is also a little harder to find (closer to the Meitetsu bus area).

It's always difficult to make choices in a Japanese bakery, but today, I went with the syv korn シュコルン (150円) 7-grain bread, satsuma potato danish donut (140円), and the potato+bacon pie gratin (180円).  I liked the crispy texture of the pie, it was almost like eating a flaky pot pie.  The 7 grain bread had a nice density and slight sweetness, however it was a bit dry.  Similar to a bagel, it may be nice to make a cream cheese sandwich out of it.  The danish donut seems to be one of the store's original goods, but it doesn't really standout, as it is probably tastier without the extra step of it being fried.

For my vegetable portion, I went for the mini coleslaw (120円), and mini broccoli and egg salad (120円.  They might as well mix the two together as the dressing is the same.  The coffee (260円) was mediocre, not any different than other bakeries of the same calibre such as La Vie de France or Cascade.
