Do you know "Café Europe" in Ginza Six?
Have you ever heard of the café named "Café Europe"?
Café Europe was a legendary coffee shop in Ginza, considered "the most delicious coffee shop in Ginza" in 1920.*
The café was forced to close due to the Great Kanto Earthquake in 1923, but
the well-known Western confectionery brand "Yohaiim" has taken the reins, reviving the café in Ginza Six 100 years later!♡
You may wonder, "Why is Yohaiim running a café?" Interestingly, it’s said that Karl Yohaiim, the founder of Yohaiim, once worked as a confectionery supervisor at Café Europe. It seems that this connection is why they are managing it now.♩
The store respects the stylish image of that era♡
Although Café Europe is located in the cutting-edge Ginza Six, the interior beautifully recreates the stylish (now seen as retro and cute) image of the original Café Europe♡
The calm atmosphere of the interior is based on brown, with several counter seats.*
You can enjoy coffee and cakes in the café.
The signature menu is "Coffee Baumkuchen"♡
The signature menu of Café Europe is the "Coffee Baumkuchen."* This specialty was created when coffee and Baumkuchen became popular in the early 1900s, leading to the creation of a "coffee-flavored Baumkuchen" as a signature dish of Café Europe.
The Baumkuchen comes in a cute can featuring the Café Europe logo, making it stylish.
The packaging is adorable♩
The sweets sold at Café Europe are not only delicious but also feature attractive packaging!♡
The pink packaging with a Tiffany blue ribbon and a slightly retro feel truly captures the hearts of girls.*
There are two colors for the packaging: pink and black.
It’s nice that you can choose based on the person you’re giving it to!♩
I want to visit Café Europe♡
Café Europe, known for serving the most delicious coffee in Ginza, is a renowned café.
Although it was closed due to the earthquake, one young employee went on to create a large Baumkuchen company, and now, after nearly 100 years, they have opened a store in Ginza Six that retains its historical ambiance... the story is wonderful.
Anyway, it's a stylish café with an elegant atmosphere and package design, and the Baumkuchen would definitely make a wonderful gift or souvenir!♡
