THE CITY BAKERY Ikebukuro IT Tower Tokyo: Grand Opening Announcement

On March 14, 2026, the highly-anticipated THE CITY BAKERY will make its debut in the iconic Ikebukuro IT Tower, situated in one of Tokyo's busiest transport hubs. This bakery, known for its New York-inspired offerings, aims to establish itself as a go-to spot not only for delicious baked goods but also as a vibrant community space for locals and visitors alike.

A Location That Captivates

Located directly connected to Ikebukuro Station, one of Tokyo's major terminals alongside Shibuya and Shinjuku, THE CITY BAKERY is poised to attract a diverse crowd. The western area of Ikebukuro is undergoing significant redevelopment, transforming it into a new international business hub, which adds to the bakery's appeal. With the aim of creating a 'bakery of the city,' THE CITY BAKERY invites you to enjoy their unique menu emotionally tied to the community.

Access and Offerings

Open from 8:00 AM, the bakery offers a range of breakfast options, including the highly sought-after Pretzel Croissant— a signature item that highlights NY recipes. The vibrant display of sandwiches and other delicacies promises to entice customers from the moment they step inside. Each dish features thoughtfully selected ingredients with generous portions, catering to both those looking for a quick snack and those wanting a substantial meal. You can enjoy this in a charming café-style environment, complete with a wide selection of drinks.

The establishment boasts 55 seats, with options for both table and counter seating. Additionally, for those on the go, the takeout menu is equally impressive, allowing you to grab your favorite items easily.
