Painduce

It's needless to say that Osaka is a huge city — one so big that, even in the most unassuming places, you can come across culinary gems. On the streets of Honmachi is a charming bakery-cafe that’s a rare find. Painduce has a huge variety of sweet goodies that will leave you spoilt for choice. Baguette-made French toast, raspberry tarts, tea-flavored melon bread, buttery pain au chocolat and croissants, black sesame paste-filled buns — these are just a few on the list of delicious treats in store at Painduce. The "adult" chocolate cream bread is perfect for those who don't have much of a sweet tooth, but are still chocolate-crazy. The black coffee and chocolate cream bread is an excellent combination that's both unique in taste and a perfect substitution for a morning coffee. The galette bressane is a wonderful sweet for those looking for non-chocolate treats. This type of sweet, originating from the Bresse region of France, is one of the most uncommon sweet pastry on offer here— to discover such a find on the opposite side of the world from its country of origin is truly amazing. To list all of Painduce's treats would require an essay — but trust that every single one of them is so good that it deserves to be credited. From buttery bites and sweet craving-satisfiers to chocolaty goodness with a dash of caffeine, Painduce has it all.
