Aloalo

The “cookie bagel” is filled generously with chocolate and topped with a cookie—a combination that catches the eye and stands out in visitors’ recollections of ALOALO. Some also mention enjoying the bagels’ chewy texture and springy dough. One customer often buys the brown-sugar bagel, while others name the ham bagel and anko butter as favourites. Choose a sweet filling or one with ham to suit the occasion.

Other options include fig and walnut bagels, sausage bagels and scones, as well as fig and walnut campagne bread and anpan. Bagels are the focus, but the variety of fillings and bread shapes makes it enjoyable to take home a few different items and compare them. Customers have also praised the cheese campagne, salted-butter pretzel and yomogi anpan. Whether you’re after a springy bagel or something different, choose from what’s available in the shop.
