& OIMO TOKYO CAFE Naka-Meguro — Restaurant in Tokyo

Everything we ordered was delicious! No complaints on the food. The sweet potato montblanc parfait was very flavourful and it wasn’t your usual boring parfait. It had a good balance of flavours coming from the different ingredients and layers. The cheesecakes set was also really good!

The only downside to this place is the incredible waiting time. We are so used to lining up for food, as we go to cafes like this one all the time, but this time it was just frustrating: all those girls at their table were finishing their food and drinks and then just sitting for 40 min with their phones without ordering anything else while outside there was such a long line. I feel like the staff could do something about it, like making them order something else. As soon as we got our food, we took pics, ate and went to pay. It all probably took us 20 min in total. It doesn’t take that long to eat 1 parfait. And also we just couldn’t help but be considerate towards the people waiting and staring at us. Also, when the tables finally became available, it always took so long to make them ready for new people to sit. Such a long time to clean up, then go inside for a while, then coming out just to put some tissues and forks on the table, then going back in for who knows what reason, and after 10 min they will come out to call you and let you sit at that table! Just frustrating!

But they were nice and we genuinely loved the food, the menu is original and we would love to try the lunch dishes and the other desserts! We’re not sure it’s worth going through that frustration again though 😕

I found this place by searching dog-friendly cafes in Tokyo and visited with my dog. Although there were 2 tables available in an outside terrace, after the first group of the line entered inside, the waitress asked me and other visitors to stay away from the entrance and line up at a designated area. Eventually, after 15 mins, I got a table that was available since my arrival. I wanted to order only one cake, but, in this place, you cannot pick up only one, but need to choose either 6 pieces cakes or 3 pieces. The earlier waitress explained to me that 1 food/dessert + 1 drink are mandatory, and no cash is allowed, which I found a little arrogant. I chose a set of 3 pieces. As seen in the photo, it was three thin slices of cakes. I can say, the taste was good, and I liked a matcha terrine most. Meanwhile, it is not worth spending over ¥2,000. The coffee was not served even I finished my dessert, and when I was about to cancel it, it arrived. In the light of all of the above, I don’t...

I found out about this place through a Japanese tiktoker and just had to try it. The place is probably only known by locals because both times I visited I was the only foreigner. I Have no idea what these dishes were called because I believe they only had a Japanese menu but I ordered by showing them photos of what I wanted 😅

The dessert is delicious. I would definitely recommend the bowl I had, there were layers of cream and ice cream (I think) underneath. There was also some kind of berry compote at the bottom. A little heavy for one person so eat it on an empty stomach or after...
