I’d give this a 4.5 if I could. It’s a cool cafe with a great vibe. There are lots of seating options from sofas to library-like desks. The menu covers coffee to desserts to pasta. I went with the iced coffee and the pudding (プリン🍮). The coffee was really tasty and not too bitter. The pudding was very tasty and a bit firm, which is not always my favorite. But the syrup they have was really good and completely made the pudding better. Prices were decent considering the upscale feeling. Be prepared to wait as this place can get busy.
This cozy restaurant is a 5-minute walk from Ikebukuro station. Expect a 30-minute wait in the evenings due to its popularity. The ambiance is like an antique wooden library, and the food is delicious. Ordering is easy, just press the calling bell, and to pay, take the key to the cashier. Perfect for groups of 2-3 people.
Such a lovely café to spend time alone or with your friends. The Brazilian coffee they offer is so good. The atmosphere is so relaxing, there are many books you can read while enjoying your time. You can also have your own corner where you could study, use your PC, and charge your electronic devices.
I loved the music and the design of the shop. I would definitely go there as many times as I can. Very much recommended place.
I had the quiche and the iced fruit tea. Both were exquisite! I loved the textures and flavors. I could tell from the moment I cut into the quiche that it'd be good, and I couldn't recommend the tea enough~ The staff were pleasant as well.
They do not refill your water, though! It's unclear whether you can go and refill it yourself. The water was in some pitchers next to drying cups by the entrance, so we filled our waters by ourselves. The atmosphere around doing so was unclear, as that may have been only for the workers to touch? If you're quite thirsty, I recommend bringing your own water just in case.
A stellar must-have experience overall. The cafe has a lovely section for single book-lovers who come to read or do work. The strawberry parfait was the best I've tried in Tokyo and the service (we were helped by Yuka) was great. She spoke english and let us sit side-by-side when my friend showed up late and didn't want to sit apart. This was my second time coming and I can't recommend it more, especially if you're looking for some downtime to read!
