Bread, Espresso & Hakata && — Restaurant in Fukuoka

No knife and forks provided, probably Japanese tradition is eating with hands? Waiting time was extremely long, whereas half of seats were empty when we finally got in. The food and drinks were served while there was no cutlery, so we tried to get some from the reception. The waitress stopped us and said they will bring the cutlery later, and she grabbed and threw the ones we got from us into the sanitary plate, with an unbelievably rude attitude.

We also ordered three buns to go - the custard bun was good but needed more filling, while we loved the...

We were there at around 9.15am on a Tuesday morning and the wait time was around 15 mins even though there were many available seats in the shop, there was only 1 serving staff who had to serve and clear the tables and she was extremely slow. We saw a mother with a pram who had to wait outside in the cold just like us even when there were many seats available. There were other staff at the counter and they were not helping at all.

Serving of food was quick once ordered, food wise - the mentaiko toast was baked well but a little too salty for my liking, the french toast was too soggy/custard-ish. The carrot salad and iced Earl grey were nice. Each breakfast set is pretty filling. No wow factor to...
