USEFUL TIPS

Tips for takeout, gifts, and lines

Tell the shop in advance how long you’ll be carrying them

Cream-filled fresh donuts are sensitive to temperature changes. If you’ll be carrying them for a long time, prepare ice packs or an insulated bag and confirm storage instructions at purchase for peace of mind. If they’re a gift, also tell the shop how long it will be until you hand them over.

If possible, enjoy them the same day

The appeal of fresh donuts lies in their moist, tender dough and fresh cream. Follow the shop’s guidance; as a rule, enjoy them on the day of purchase, as soon as possible.

Check the sales start time

Some shops start selling fresh donuts at a different time from opening. As with &TOKYO at Tokyo Station, sales times may differ by product, so if you have a specific item in mind, check the official social media.

To avoid lines and sellouts

Early afternoons on weekends tend to be crowded, and popular flavors may sell out first. Aim for right after opening or earlier on weekdays, and at shops with mobile ordering, using pre-orders will make things smoother.
