R Baker Expands into Hospital Dining with New Café
The renowned bakery chain, R Baker, is set to launch its 47th location in an innovative twist of combining healthcare and dining. The new café, named "R Baker Kanto Neurology Café Terrace", will open its doors on November 25, 2025, inside the Kanto Neurology Hospital located in Kumagaya, Saitama. This establishment marks the pioneering venture of R Baker within a hospital setting, aiming to enhance the dining experience for both patients and hospital staff.
Located on the first floor of the newly relocated Kanto Neurology Hospital, the café is designed with a calming beige interior featuring comfortable armchairs and sofas, creating a relaxing environment for those visiting the hospital. This well-thought-out space allows patients and staff to enjoy a moment of reprieve without needing to step outside.
R Baker prides itself on its commitment to quality, using domestic ingredients to craft deliciously healthy bread. The new location will feature a menu with approximately 60 different options, including freshly baked croissants, pizzas, pastas, and scones. These offerings are specially designed to cater to diverse preferences and dietary needs, ensuring every visitor finds something enjoyable.
One of the unique implementations at this café is the central kitchen model employed by R Baker. Located in Yamanashi Prefecture, this facility produces frozen dough using traditional methods managed by skilled artisans. The dough is then delivered to the café for baking, allowing for freshly baked products directly on-site. This approach saves time on intricate processes, such as pastry and dough preparation, letting the café focus on quality baking once the dough arrives.
R Baker’s philosophy, “Delicious bread for the heart and body,” is not just a slogan; it encapsulates a deep commitment to healthful, nourishing eating. By predominantly utilizing domestic rice flour in their recipes, R Baker enhances the texture and taste while supporting local agriculture. The innovative blending process creates a unique chewy and moist texture that has become a signature feature of their offerings.
The Kanto Neurology Café Terrace aims to create a new eating experience within the healthcare environment, offering balanced meals and baked goods that both nourish and delight. With a seating capacity of 24 in a compact area of approximately 16.7 tsubo, the café ensures an intimate dining atmosphere where comfort meets taste.
