Hello, explorers! It's Yappy here 🐰

In Fukuoka's Tenjin district,

I stumbled upon a brand new cafe

where you can enjoy coffee and pastries right from the morning!

From savory salt bread bursting with truffle aroma

to the super trendy Dubai chocolate,

I was so curious, I just had to try them myself!

To give you the lowdown first:

The salt bread? I'd happily eat it again!

The Dubai chocolate, however, was a bit of a miss for me.😂

Today, I'm sharing my honest review of

Truffle Bakery Tenjin Underground Shopping Arcade Branch,

a spot we visited ourselves!

📍Store Name

Truffle Bakery Tenjin Underground Shopping Arcade Branch

⏰Opening Hours

Mon-Sat 08:00-22:00

Sunday 08:00-21:00

💸Payment Methods

Cash and cards both accepted

Located in "Street 2" of the Tenjin Underground Shopping Arcade,

you can get there directly after getting off at Tenjin Station,

without even needing to go outside!

We actually arrived in Tenjin a little early that day

because the restaurant where we planned to have lunch

didn't open until 11 AM.

We arrived around 10 AM,

and decided to visit the bakery to kill some time and grab a coffee.

It was perfect that they were open bright and early!

🥐 Truffle-Infused Salt Bread

Once inside, I was surprised by the variety of breads on offer!

After much deliberation, I picked out a few different items.

Here's what we ordered:

✔️ Salt White Truffle Bread 324 yen

✔️ Sugar White Truffle Roll 335 yen

✔️ Golden Custard Cream 387 yen

✔️ Dubai Chocolate 507 yen

✔️ Iced Americano 495 yen

1. Salt White Truffle Bread

Among our selections, the one I was most excited about

was, naturally, the Salt White Truffle Bread.

When I tore it apart with my hands,

it split beautifully along the grain,

without any toughness at all.

The moment I took a bite, I could taste the savory flavor of butter

and the subtle truffle aroma rising up.

It was surprisingly delicious!

The outside was slightly crispy,

and the inside was moist and soft,

so if you love salt bread like I do, I highly recommend it! 🥐

2. Sugar White Truffle Roll

The Sugar White Truffle Roll bread

is only sold at this location, so I had to get it!

Like a Krispy Kreme donut, it has a glazed coating,

giving it a delightful sweet and salty charm!

It pairs perfectly with an Americano 👍

Overall, the truffle salt breads

seemed to be crispy on the outside and moist on the inside.

We really enjoyed this one too, haha!

3. Moist Golden Custard Cream

The custard cream bun

was generously filled with cream,

and perhaps because of the vanilla beans,

it tasted different from the custard I've had in Korea!

Overall, it had a strong resemblance to an egg tart,

so I recommend it to anyone who loves egg tarts!

4. Dubai Chocolate was honestly a bit disappointing

I was also curious about

so I ordered one Dubai Chocolate bun as well.

It said you could buy up to 3 per person, so

I wondered if it was a popular trending item and had high expectations.

My honest review is…

If it were me, I'd probably

buy another salt bread instead. 😂

It wasn't bad, but

instead of the moist Dubai chocolate I had imagined,

the texture was quite hard and crunchy.

When you take a bite, it goes "crunch!" and

it had a strong crumbly, cookie-like feel,

which was a bit disappointing for our taste.

The price was also 507 yen,

making it the most expensive item we ordered,

so it didn't quite meet my expectations.

So, my personal recommendations are:

Salt White Truffle Bread ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Dubai Chocolate ⭐⭐⭐

I think that sums it up!

💡When using cafes in Japan

Good to know!

While re-examining the receipt,

I also discovered a small Japan travel tip.

In Japan, when you buy food or drinks,

the consumption tax rate differs depending on whether you take it out or eat it in the store.

✔️ Takeout → 8%

✔️ Dine-in → 10%

We didn't realize this on the spot, but

looking at the receipt, there was a slight difference

from the menu prices.

​

If you plan to dine in,

it's good to know in advance that there might be a tax difference

when you pay!

If you want to enjoy bread and coffee from morning

in Tenjin Underground Shopping Center, or

If you're a fan of those incredibly aromatic truffle salt breads,

you absolutely have to pop into Truffle Bakery! 💗
