Let me just say this upfront: if loving this French toast is wrong, I don’t want to be right. I came to this place expecting a casual breakfast. I left emotionally entangled with a piece of bread. The French toast wasn’t just food—it was a spiritual awakening. I took one bite and suddenly understood what all those anime love confessions are about. My heart went doki doki and I swear I heard a romantic J-pop ballad playing in the background.
This toast was fluffy like a Japanese cloud mochi, crisp like fresh tempura, and sweet like a Studio Ghibli plot twist. I’m not sure what dark magic they used in the kitchen—maybe it was blessed by a Shinto priest or kissed by a sumo wrestler for good luck—but I would literally fight a samurai for another slice.
The steak and eggs? Also great. Very reliable. They showed up like the dependable side character in a drama—strong, consistent, a good listener. But the French toast? That was the mysterious, ridiculously good-looking main character that shows up in Episode 1 and ruins your life (in the best way). I tried to give equal love to everything on my plate, but the toast kept making me say itadakimasu like I was praying before every bite.
Even the staff was amazing—smiling, fast, and probably wondering why I was gazing at my plate like it was the cherry blossoms in full bloom. The atmosphere? Chill, welcoming, and very nonjudgmental considering I whispered “ai shiteru” to my toast before finishing it.
To sum up: this place is a national treasure. Honestly, the government should step in and give that French toast its own holiday. I would return, no questions asked, and next time I might bring a ring. So if you’re in the area and wondering what to order—order the French toast. Your tastebuds will thank you, your ancestors will thank you, and you might just achieve inner peace.
Sayonara, self-control. Arigatou,...
Read moreI ordered brunch course, salad and coffee should be included in this course, but some how they took 650 yen additionally. ☕️Be careful with that when you leave. In total my lunch was 5,115yen. Nosy place with old sofa. Stuff without a smile on faces. As my friend paid by credit card I asked stuff to exchange 10,000 yen to return lunch fee to my friend, and I was surprised when they advised me to go to convenience store and exchange there. I transferred money to the bank account of my friend same minute and left without any willing to visit this place ever again. In additional, they have different menu for those who made a reservation and for people who did not do reservations and...
Read moreI took my friend to this brunch for the 2nd time, and I don’t know why their service has changed so much. First the Japanese waiter served the main dish before the salad. When we asked for the salad, he said he forgot to bring it to the table. And to be honest, the quality of the ingredients is very unsatisfying. The avocado was black, plus salmon was not fresh at all. I was shocked because Mercer was such a high-level brunch shop in GINZA. Maybe because they’re serving too many foreigners and visitors and thus lowered their quality of their service. I don’t think I would recommend this place to any of my...
