FAbULOUS is such a store!
FAbULOUS is a “complex store of clothing, food, housing, and art” operated by Roundup Trading Co.
Since opening in the popular Sosegawa East area in October 2005, it has remained at the forefront of Sapporo’s café scene for more than 18 years.
The store has a cafe-restaurant and a fashion and interior store. The charm of FAbULOUS is that you can enjoy not only eating and drinking, but also art appreciation and shopping for interior goods, clothing, accessories, etc. at the same time.
Upon opening the entrance door, you will see a corner on the right selling dried flowers and wreaths, which leads to a spacious café space and a fashion and interior design store.
The restaurant has a pleasant feeling of openness with high ceilings. There are many sofa seats, so you can relax in comfort.
In fact, this store is open from 9:00 a.m., which is unusual for a cafe, and is also famous as a “morning store”.
Since the morning menu consists mainly of wheat bread, we will not include it as a gluten-free blog, but it has a very good reputation for being very tasty, so if you can eat it, please try the morning menu as well.

One item on the menu that is confirmed gluten-free is the wheat flour galette (Brittany galette).
Galette is a French word meaning “flat and round dish. In Japan, galette often refers to “Brittany galette,” a crepe-like thinly baked buckwheat flour dough.
There were two types of galette: the classic “galette complette,” a thin, crispy dough made with buckwheat flour, rice flour, and cocoa for color, with bacon, cheese, and egg dropped in the middle; and the “galette complette with prosciutto salad.
This time, I ordered it with a prosciutto salad because I was so excited.
I chose hot soup as my drink.This time, I ordered it with a prosciutto salad because I was so excited.

What do you think of the visual?
The edges of the fragrant galette dough are neatly folded into a square, with bacon, melted cheese, and a half-boiled egg sitting in the middle. In the upper right corner, a heaping pile of prosciutto salad adds a splash of color.
With your heart pounding with anticipation, let’s put the knife in.
The dough at the edges is as crispy as it looks and very savory!
Maybe because it also contains cocoa, the buckwheat flavor is not as strong, and if you weren’t told, you might think it was wheat flour dough.The dough at the edges is as crispy as it looks and very savory!

The dough portion with the ingredients on top has a chunky texture. The bacon and cheese, along with the crumbled egg yolk, give it a complete taste.
The crispy part is like a pizza, but the chunky part inside is like having a burrito, and both textures are delicious!The dough portion with the ingredients on top has a chunky texture. The bacon and cheese, along with the crumbled egg yolk, give it a complete taste.

It’s a treat to be able to taste both “crispy” and “chewy!
The accompanying salad had a sweet and sour orange dressing that mellowed the saltiness of the cheese when eaten with the galette. It was the perfect chopstick rest.
Hot soup (cream of bean soup on this day) chosen as part of the set.
It is nice to be able to choose soup with drinks. It warms you up, especially on a cold day.Hot soup (cream of bean soup on this day) chosen as part of the set.

French Press Specialty Coffee
The galette and soup filled me up, but as a coffee lover, I also wanted to try FAbULOUS’s specialty coffee.
Here, the coffee is served using a French press.
A French press is a device that puts ground coffee into a special container, pours hot water into the container, and after a while presses down the filter to extract the coffee.
This is actually the first time I have had French press coffee at a restaurant!
After much deliberation, I ordered a deep roasted Mandarin.
You can press now.”
When you brought it to the table, it was already extracted.
The French Press coffee is first brewed by combining hot water and coffee powder, and then pressed through a filter, so it is as if you are drinking the flavor contained in the coffee as it is.
Unlike normal paper drip, the coffee liquid is somewhat thicker because it contains fine powder, and you can directly feel the flavor of the bean.
Mandarin is originally characterized by its richness and strength, but I have the impression that a wilder and deeper flavor has been added.
As the menu description says, you can enjoy a “long-lasting aftertaste.
A French press coffee after a delicious galette lunch was the perfect ending.
Don’t miss it! Nice take-out section of baked goods.
The souvenir corner of baked goods and other items lined up on the counter near the entrance is also a sight to behold.
The baked goods are sold on consignment from Rumoi pastry shop Lumondo.
Unfortunately, they are not gluten-free, but they are made with carefully selected local ingredients and all looked very delicious.The souvenir corner of baked goods and other items lined up on the counter near the entrance is also a sight to behold.

Coffee beans are available in drip bags, but are also sold by weight as shown in the image. The display is stylish!
There were many other attractive items on display, including tea from the British brand “Brew Tea Co.”, too many to list.
The takeout corner blends casually into the interior, but each item on display shows strong attention to detail. The takeout corner blends in with the interior design without being intrusive.
