About this place
A smoked salmon and cream cheese bagel sandwich is a good introduction to the texture of a bagel. At Poko Bagel Café, this sandwich is made with Montreal-style bagels and costs 1,000 yen. Diners have described the dough as gently sweet and soft, with a toasty exterior and a fluffy centre. Some also noted the generous amount of salmon. It’s a classic pairing of cream cheese and smoked salmon, with the bagel’s character adding another dimension.
For a different filling, the menu also features avocado and shrimp, as well as burdock and chicken. Diners who tried the avocado and shrimp sandwich mentioned how well it went with the bagel and found it satisfying, with plenty of filling and sauce. Both options are listed at 1,000 yen, making them easy choices for a lunch sandwich.
For something sweet, try the maple Basque cheesecake or Baked Rare, each priced at 600 yen. One diner enjoyed the maple Basque cheesecake with coffee, praising its moist, dense texture. The maple coffee, made with coffee topped with maple syrup and whipped cream, costs 700 yen. It pairs with a bagel sandwich or makes a pleasant drink to have with cake.
The Minato-ku, Higashi-Shinbashi location offers both dine-in and takeaway. It is open on weekdays from 11:00 to 18:00 and closed on Saturdays and Sundays.
