Had a couple of lovely breakfasts here that’s filling and tasty!! This cafe is located near Shibuya 109, and opposite a huge Mega Don Quixote. So good for anyone to pop in to have a break too! I and my partner ordered the 4 deli set and a croissant set for breakfast. I’m more impressed by the 4 deli set as it’s just so fresh, healthy and filling. The seaweed mix with soybean gave the whole dish a very unique Jap flavour. The croissant set was nice too, the egg was on top of a mash actually! So it’s cool to dip my crispy croissant in it for an extra flavour! They offer other sandwiches and pastries, as well as other drinks too. So lots of choices for you when you are in the cafe!

Since tea and coffee are never my thing, I am a huge fan of hot chocolate. So I had it with two different pastries. The chocolate drink was very chocolatey and rich. However, they were sold out of marshmallows to pair with it. Also, there was no whipped cream or any garnish on it. It felt like it was not a complete drink or something was missing from it. The highlight was the raspberry muffin. The chocolate chunk cookie wasn't particularly amazing, and it was slightly pricey. It is almost as same as the price in the USA. Overall, this place has great service with plenty of bakery options. The ambience is great and has a good quality for the chocolate drink. I came back to this shop after two days with my husband. He is a huge fan of cookies so we brought four kinds of cookies to bring home. The oatmeal cookie was very good. However, the coconut cookie really surprised us. It was intensely wonderful. We had the best-ever coconut cookie. It had a chewy texture mixed with crunchy flakes of coconut which made it very satisfying.

A little crowded (well because it’s in Dogenzaka) and the staff seem a bit frazzled but no problem, I was able to find a seat and the pretzel croissant was the most delicious thing ever. The bitter chocolate tea latte was also the perfect …

If you're looking for a place to sit down in Shibuya, this is a great spot - somehow, almost magically, there are usually plenty of available seats. The prices are good, and the food tastes great! This bakery 🥯 café chain always makes me happy when I just want a quick bite and a coffee ☕. The pastries, hot sandwiches 🥪, and drinks are all high quality. The only exception was when my wife tried one of their cup salads for the first time - she said it was maybe 3/10 at best.
