OVERVIEW

Te cor gentil is a refined, fully vegan bakery tucked in the sophisticated Azabu-Juban neighborhood, just a 3-minute walk from Azabu-Juban Station (Toei Ōedo & Tokyo Metro Namboku Lines). Since opening in October 2022, it has enchanted visitors with a minimalist, stylish storefront and sleek interior where plant-based pastries look—and taste—as indulgent as those in traditional bakeries.

All items are 100% vegan—made without eggs, dairy, milk, or honey—and crafted with ethically sourced ingredients. The shop’s name, derived from French words terre (earth), corps (body), and gentil (gentle), underscores its ethos of being kind to the earth, animals, and human bodies.

THE RESTAURANT

Te cor gentil reimagines classic baked goods with ethical creativity. Standout offerings include:

• Salt Butter Aosa Bread – A crispy, fluffy loaf laced with sea lettuce (aosa), blending familiar saltiness with oceanic nuance.

• Nama (Raw) Chocolat – A brioche-like cube filled with molten chocolate fondant—rich, elegant, and indulgently vegan.

• Pistachio Croissant – Flaky and nutty, a beloved specialty that would impress any croissant aficionado.

• Savory Croissants & Buns – Creative fillings like Tandoori “chicken” sandwiches, croquette burgers, tomato & cheese pizza, curry buns, and fruit danishes—each made entirely plant-based.

Though Te cor gentil is compact, it offers a serene, café-like experience with a small outdoor bench area for enjoying treats on-site.

DINING & RECOMMENDATIONS
