Engawa Cafe (Showa no Ie) — Restaurant in Tokyo

Damn near cried, this was so good. The peach tart was an absolute gift from the gods—perfect butter crust, fluffy and not to sweet tart filling, topped with fresh and succulent peach slices. Complete chef's kiss. The garden in the back is heaven on Earth—I could literally stare out at it all day. Ah, but the review wouldn't be complete without mention of the people who work there! My server is probably the sweetest human being I've ever met. Didn't speak much English, but man was she so damn nice and accommodating to my broken Japanese! I felt so welcome and appreciated as a guest—she went up and beyond the call of duty as a service person to make me feel at home and at ease. Will definitely be coming back every time...

The desserts change according to the season but the coffee is always delicious. The garden and the house are just so calming and delightful and it creates such a beautiful space to spend time with friends or just by yourself. The customer service is lovely and kind too, which is why I can’t recommend this place enough. I love love love everything about this place.

This cafe is definitely worth a visit. I mean,...
