Andersen Hiroshima

This has got to be one of the most architecturally significant and beautiful bakeries in Hiroshima. Not only did this building survive the atomic blast, it continues to be utilised today as a habitable space despite it's horrific past. The baked goods and cakes taste incredible and look amazing, some looking way too beautiful for consumption, particularly their current Easter offerings. It is a very crowded bakery though, so go early to avoid the peak hour crowds. Definitely a standout bakery in a very regal looking restored building.

This place was recommended by a friend as a must try in Hokkaido. There are many options to choose from and the staff is super friendly as well. There is a small space to sit and dine. You can also get your coffee from here. The place seems to be always crowded. So there's a small queue at the payment counters. But the queue moves quickly.

Taking in the entire store takes a minute since there is a good selection. You can get either dessert bread or a nice crusty baguette. The pan au chocolate was flakey, but was a 2/5 in the flavor department. The melon pan was tasty, and the winner was the chocolate Italian bread. They have a very small area with some tea/brunch options. Overall, Great little place to explore.

My experience at Andersen Bakery and Cafe in Hiroshima left me thoroughly impressed. Their bread, cake, and pasta were all wonderfully flavorful, showcasing the freshness and quality of their ingredients. I appreciated that they listed the ingredients for each product, which allowed Muslim patron-ship to make informed choices, ensuring avoidance of pork meat, fat, and alcohol. The ambiance of the cafe was calm and inviting, providing a peaceful retreat from the most crowded street. The staff were polite and attentive, adding to the overall pleasant atmosphere. Additionally, the cleanliness of the establishment was impeccable, reflecting a commitment to hygiene and customer satisfaction. Andersen Bakery and Cafe in Hiroshima is definitely a must-visit for anyone seeking delicious baked goods in a serene and welcoming environment.

Wide selection of perfect baked creations, plus cheeses, higher end ingredients, and takeaway ready meals & deli items. It’s busy for good reason. Pastries are super flaky & have a depth of flavour to them as well - highly recommend the cherry danish.

Wow. So good. Croissants and all the rest is amazing. Very fresh, and if you stop by early in the day, you can have warm baked goods. High quality and reasonable prices.

Popular and crowded bakery shop in Hondori shopping street. Full of tasty pastries, breads, confections and more, this is a carb lovers paradise! We purchased a variety of pastries to sample and all were delicious. The shop is very modern contemporary, well lit, and clean. It's pretty cool that you can watch the bakers making their magic. It can be busy and crowded, which makes some areas on the ship a tight squeeze for moving around. Overall, with the visit. Definitely stop in!

Feeling like some sweets from Denmark then the Andersen gourmet store offers a real treat for the sweet tooth ! Dine in or take out or venture to the second floor and enjoy the full menu! The selection of food, wines and flowers will delight anyone!

あの全国的に有名なアンデルセンの本店はこちら。売り場が広くて本当に感激した。広い売り場に所狭しと並ぶパンや惣菜、更には加工食品も購入できる。店内やテラスでイートイン可能なスペースも。購入したクリームパンは柔らかくて美味しかった、クリームの主張強めです。

The food was good but not nearly enough. Honestly we were lucky enough to find a breakfast spot in the area as there are almost none. I really wanted some of their larger sandwiches but they were either already sold out or were only available for lunch. That being said, I settled on an iced green tea and a ham and cheese sando. The food was good but not nearly enough to get me going for a long day of exploring. The worst part is that it was overly expensive for what I got.

I had my first Andersen pastry in the Bay Area shop a long time ago and learned that the original bakery started here in Hiroshima. I always wanted to visit the original location where they converted from a bank. They recently renovated inside but kept the charm outside from the original. I don't think I need to go on and on about their bakery as we all know how good they are. They have a cafe on the second floor. I was hoping to eat pastry upstairs after I purchase at the bakery on the first floor but I guess upstairs is only for restaurant guests. They have small dining sections within a bakery but not suitable for relaxing place.

Great selection of breads and pastries. Everything was fresh and the service was very good.

Who knew Japan would rock the pastry game too! I love all of these pastry shops where you walk through filling your tray with sweet and savory, fresh baked, flakey, fluffy treats! Andersen's is top notch for a variety of reasons. 1. Really nice variety of pastries and everything is nicely displayed. Many of the treats are behind glass (you can access them yourself). 2. Good coffee and a variety of coffee drinks to choose from. 3. Nice, clean, brightly lit and spacious dining area. 4. Possibly my favorite part, they have decent sized glasses and pitchers of water so you can serve yourself.

We loved the Hiroshima pizza the most. Very convenient to pick up a quick bite to eat with coffee and head off for the day from the train station

They have been offering superb bread and pastries since 1967 and you will be spoilt for choice. They are well known for authentic Danish pastries and I don't think you can possibly resist them. Another favourite of mine is Cinnamon Sugar Cake Doughnut. It's as authentic as you can get in the US, but the quality is far better - it melts in your mouth and is not greasy or too sweet. They also have wide varieties of artisan bread. My favourite is Ishigama Englih Bread and Hiroshima Sourdough Bread. Everything is baked on the premise throughout the day, so the freshness is guaranteed.

A guilty pleasure I was so pleased to find!!! They had a huge selection of pastries and ended up getting too many as I just couldn't choose!! Well worth a visit.

Love this place!!! Baked goods, deli, drinks; a gourmet market to take stuff to go. Its cheaper than going to a restaurant.
