LOCAL ~baking treats~ is a small baked-goods shop in a residential alley in Kyoto, on the route from Nijo-ohashi toward Heian Jingu. It serves seasonal fruit tarts, carrot cake, and green tea cookies, with reduced sweetness so the ingredients carry the flavor. The shop opens only on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays, so check its social media before visiting. It sits in a hard-to-find alley deeper inside the residential neighborhood.
