ベーカリーカフェフラミンゴ at Ikebukuro, Tokyo

Reborn Ikebukuro kissaten turned in-house bakery cafe in Super Hotel Premier, baking fresh bread with eat-in space and power outlets.

Bakery Cafe Flamingo is the reborn form of Kissaten Flamingo, a beloved old-school Ikebukuro coffee shop that closed its west-exit doors in August 2022 and reopened on the ground floor of the new Super Hotel Premier Ikebukuro in November that year. Bread is now baked on the premises with the latest ovens and fryers, and the airy, slightly stylish room keeps the spirit of the original cafe alive. The counter offers reasonably priced loaves and buns alongside sandwiches and light food, with a self-service register keeping things moving, and there is eat-in space on both the ground and second floors. Power outlets make it a practical spot to settle with a laptop and a coffee, and the location near Ikebukuro's north side and Ikebukuro no Mori is an easy walk from the station. For anyone who mourned the closing of the old Flamingo, or for a new visitor simply after fresh bread in a calm corner of Ikebukuro, this successor is a welcome find. Drop in for a morning bun or an afternoon pause, and let a piece of local cafe history carry on.
