What this branch is like
This is a 7-Eleven branch on Higashiikebukuro in Ikebukuro, and the first thing you notice is the greeting: staff bow at the register, and the ones working the counter call out what is hot and fresh. It is a konbini doing what a konbini does, with more ceremony than most.
The bread is baked in the store, and the croissant is what to buy first; it comes out flaky and buttery enough that one is not the plan. The hot case holds fried chicken that the staff will point you toward while you are paying, and melon bread turns up on promotion some days.
The shop is spacious by konbini standards, with a dine-in area where you can sit with what you bought, and restrooms inside. A multi-function copier near the front handles tickets for sporting events and the like, which is useful if you are sorting out an evening.
Spend lands between ¥200 and ¥1,000 for a snack or a bento, so it is pocket change against a day of sightseeing. Everything about the visit is quick.
Come for a bento at midnight or a croissant on the way to the station.

Who is this for
This branch suits anyone arriving late into Ikebukuro who needs a bento or a snack without hunting for an open kitchen. It also works if you want somewhere to sit down with what you bought rather than eat standing on the street, since there is a dine-in area and restrooms inside. And if you like the small theatre of a konbini greeting done properly, the bows at the register here are worth the stop on their own.
If you want to cook rather than grab a bento, Youyi Asian Market in Nishiikebukuro opens at 7:30 AM daily and stocks Chinese and Taiwanese groceries for a proper shop.
The verdict
It is a konbini rather than a destination, but for a hot bento, a croissant and a seat at any hour in Ikebukuro it does the job.
