Tabelog ratingboulangerie coron Honten (ブーランジェリー コロン 本店) has earned a stellar reputation among Sapporo locals and visitors for its dedication to Hokkaido's agricultural bounty. The bakery uses 100% locally grown wheat, which undergoes a long, low-temperature fermentation process to develop a deep, complex flavour. This craftsmanship is especially evident in their signature items: breads packed with sweet Hokkaido corn.
Guests consistently praise the corn breads, particularly the Dōsan Tōkibi no Rustique and the Kobore Kōn, a salted butter roll overflowing with corn kernels. The classic French line, including croissants with a perfectly crisp exterior and moist, chewy crumb, and flavourful baguettes, also receives high marks. Reviewers highlight the strong, distinct taste of the wheat and the reliable quality across the product range. The friendly and helpful staff are also frequently mentioned.
The main drawbacks are practical. As a takeout-only shop, there is no seating. Its popularity means that signature items, especially the corn breads, often sell out by the afternoon. A few reviewers find some specialty loaves a touch expensive, but this is a minority opinion.
Most visitors feel the prices are justified by the quality of the ingredients and the skill involved. Reviewers in 2024–2026 reported paying ¥324 for the Dōsan Tōkibi no Rustique (Hokkaido corn rustique) and ¥292 for the Milk France. A typical purchase is around ¥999.
