We arrived around 11:45am on Saturday with the intention of eating at Clinton St. Baking Company, which is right next door. Turns out, it’s as popular in Tokyo as it is in NYC! Instead of getting in line, we just hopped into APOC, which was just opening up shop, and we’re so glad we did. It’s a cute shop run by the nicest people. We ordered a set that had all our favorites - orange juice, granola and yogurt, pancakes, eggs, and the freshest jam. Pancakes were light and fluffy. Everything was just delicious and perfect.
Note that they don’t have an English menu but we got on fine using Google translate on their website’s menu. Also, the shop owners can understand enough to get what you need. I can’t thank them enough for being the sweetest, most welcoming people!
If you’re just looking for pancakes, don’t bother waiting at Clinton St.!
