Pacific BAKE HOUSE at LUMINE EST Shinjuku

Pacific BAKE HOUSE is a city-style bake and coffee shop on the 1st floor of Lumine Est Shinjuku, a sister of the Shichirigahama-based Pacific DRIVE-IN.

Pacific BAKE HOUSE is a bakery and cafe that opened on 23 March 2023 on the 1st floor of Lumine Est Shinjuku, directly connected to JR Shinjuku Station. The brand is a sister concept to Pacific DRIVE-IN, the beach-culture cafe based at Shichirigahama in Kamakura, but the Shinjuku outlet takes a city-oriented approach rather than the seaside Hawaiian style of the original. It is operated by the Transit group, which runs a portfolio of lifestyle and dining brands across Japan.

The menu offers around nine items, including open sandwiches, salad bowls, scones and muffins, alongside an exclusive fluffy doughnut that has become a signature item. Bread and baked goods are prepared in-house, and the coffee programme is a central part of the offering, making the shop a useful stop for both a quick takeaway breakfast and a longer sit-down break. The interior follows the Pacific brand's clean, Californian-influenced aesthetic, with light woods and a relaxed, bright feel.

Opening hours are 11:00 to 22:00, consistent with the Lumine Est building. The 1st floor location means the shop is one of the first dining options visitors encounter when entering Lumine Est from the station, making it a convenient grab-and-go spot for commuters. Takeaway is well supported, and the baked goods, particularly the muffins and doughnuts, tend to sell out later in the day, so morning visits offer the best selection.
