from afar — Restaurant in Tokyo

Went to this popular cafe, which was once recommended by TimeOut, with my friends for breakfast. . I got Pudding and Layered Cafe Au Lait. The bouncy pudding was covered in caramel sauce, elevating its bittersweet taste. As for my Cafe Au Lait, it was Iced Coffee with Sweet Milk. It had a smoky and robust flavour, with a layer of cream at the bottom creating a creamy texture.

One of my friends ordered Houji Tea Chocolate Cake and Hot Vienna Coffee. The chocolate cake had a fragrant houji tea aroma and a firm, rich texture without being overly heavy. However, the chocolate flavor seemed to overshadow the houji tea flavor.

Another had Peach & Pear Shortcake and Hot Earl Grey Tea. The shortcake was expertly layered with cream, sponge cake, peach, and pear. The refreshing flavors of the peach and pear complemented the cream subtly, making a delightful combination. . When we arrived at the cafe, there was a queue, indicating its popularity. The cafe had a spacious layout and was adorned with numerous vintage items, creating a charming ambiance. The shelves filled with books added to the overall bookish atmosphere, allowing customers to enjoy the tranquility...

The cafe has a sense of calm and tranquility, and it's perfect for recharging you batteries. We visited soon after they opened and the place filled up very fast, mostly very stylish and very young locals going about their...

Spacious & stylish cafe tucked away in the corner of Kurumae / Asakusa.

First off, the ambience and quality of service was impressive - the staff were attentive and all smiles! The furniture is comfy too which makes it easy to while away time reading a book or otherwise. If design is your thing, there’s a large variety of magazines & books available to read for free.

The espresso was pretty nice with a rich, deep flavour. Couldn’t ask for more.

There’s also a florist in the cafe if you fancy buying flowers for the journey back home.

The sweets & snacks also look worth trying to perhaps that will be on the menu for...
