Stumbled across this cute cafe near Ōtori Jinja on our way to another restaurant ("hey this place looks real nice! Oh it's got a good rating on Google AND VEGAN? perfect, one of us is lactose intolerant) and we are so glad we went in! If you have dietary restriction this place is great! Even if you don't, their food tastes delicious!!!
We were greeted warmly by the staff immediately after we entered. The interior is super cozy with lots of plant and comfy seating, with signs saying it's a Queer friendly space🌈!!! (Us Canadians:" Guys this is really home away from home") They have a great menu selection of savoury / sweet dishes and drinks. I got the hamburg steak with rice and my friends got the hamburg with pancakes. The dishes were plated with care and tasted delicious! Even the side salad and pickled veggies were so good and refreshing! I also got a cashew vanilla muffin to go and it was also very tasty and not too sweet. If I visit Tokyo again I will definitely pay them another visit!
Bonus story: they also make dog latte (with sweet potato and soy foam) with super cute latte art of a dog!!! I saw the pic on the menu and was like OMG I WANT THIS and the server was like "Sorry it's for dogs BUT you can add it onto any human drink with an extra cost!" So I got a black sesame latte with cute dog...
Read moreNow that i ate here like 5 times and tasted almost everything i can confidently say that this cafe is like a dream. The food tastes amazing, Definetly try out the monthly curry as it tastes and looks amazing and is assebled with love and care. The Ice cream is esp tasty, it has a certain roasted and deep flavor to it that i never tasted from vanilla ice cream and i was positively suprised everytime. The overall menu is carefully crafted and every piece fits to their respective dishes, nothing feels out of place which is a pleasent experience everytime you eat here.
The staff is super friendly and speak perfect english, i felt very welcomed every time i visited from day 1 on.
And this cafes ambiance is absolutely enchanting: Soft music plays over relaxing cafe sounds (due to the kitchen being open), sturdy dark wood furniture and rustic accent make up the interior of the cafe and a slight banana fragrance lingers in the air, sitting inside makes you forget all your worries for even just a quick moment
It was THE favorite spot on my tokyo trip, i just couldnt help coming again and again. Once i come back to tokyo i will definetly visit again and bring some souveniers from germany~ Thank you so so much for the amazing food and making me love this trip so much more, I will miss this place and the...
Read moreOn a rainy Saturday I decided to check out this lovely cafe I randomly found out through Google Maps. The overall environment is excellent, extremely cozy and welcoming. The staff can speak English and the menu is easy to understand, additionally there is no time limit on your stay in the cafe.
That said, I definitely wanted to try their seasonal curry plate, which was sakura themed as spring was approaching. The dish itself is extremely cute, as you can see from the picture, but flavour-wise, it's not that different from a lot of curries I tried around Tokyo.
Leaving this matter aside though, I felt a bit "meh" when I noticed the difference between their muffins (gorgeous, voluminous, at least three or four different options), and their mini gluten free muffin (excessively small in size, without any kind of topping or filling, price-wise not even that cheap even if it was ⅓ of the non-gluten-free ones).
In the end, I got the GF pancakes instead, and it turns out those are way smaller than normal pancakes as well. What's with this idea what gluten sensitive / celiac people eat less than normal people? It kinda pissed...
