Almost 40 seats with a kind of European atmosphere. Mix of tables, and there's a booth in the back, but I sat at the 7-seat counter. The other seats look more comfortable. Opera music followed by baroque? Too much conversational hum to get an ID on either one. No Wi-Fi or charging. Nice coffee and I can call it a high four stars overall. Google Maps led me astray, but the location is on a slightly odd side street.

【Minestrone soup packed with ingredients／1,100円】at 2023/11 This is an old-fashioned coffee shop partway down an alley in the shopping district across Ome Kaido from Ogikubo Station's north exit. It seems to have been open for a long time, and its exterior, interior, and furnishings have character. It was my first visit, and I went in at lunchtime. There were lots of set menus, and I spent quite a while deciding, but chose the minestrone set. You can choose toast or rice. The salad and soup both had somewhat homelike presentation and flavors, making the set feel nostalgic somehow. The coffee was good too, and for some reason I felt I'd gotten a little extra value. It seems to be run by a married couple, and their daughter appeared to have come to help out, which I thought gave the place a warm, gentle atmosphere. Lunch rating＝３．６

This coffee shop serves “Toarco Toraja,” Key Coffee's signature brand that the owner fell in love with. Breakfast is a toast set, and lunch dishes, both à la carte and sets, are available until closing! The “B. Fluffy hamburg” I ordered had a smooth texture and a rich, gently seasoned sauce, and was really delicious♪ The Napolitan on the side is nice! The Toraja blend was rich, with a refreshing acidity in the finish, and tasted great♫ I enjoyed the gateau chocolat too～♬ I enjoyed a leisurely meal in the calm, Showa-retro interior♪ Next time I'll try the Napolitan and ice-temperature-aged coffee! Thank you for the meal〜♬ By the way, payment is cash only, and they also sell coffee to take away! Since the shop is run by an elderly couple, I hope they keep going without pushing themselves too hard!!

The combination of food and coffee at this long-established coffee shop is fantastic. I recommend the hamburg and Napolitan. A popular, long-established coffee shop about a 4-minute walk from Ogikubo Station. Visited for lunch. I had the impression that coffee-shop lunches were expensive for their portions, but it was completely the opposite: affordable prices and plenty of food. Prices seem to have been revised due to recent inflation. The hamburg was like a hamburg steak, slightly soft and easy to eat. The coffee was naturally delicious too, making it very satisfying. Eat the Napolitan with plenty of cheese sprinkled over it. The flavor is rich, but it doesn't sit heavily in your stomach. Payment is cash only. They also have a points card, so regular visits pay off. I'd like to go again.

It's tucked away at the back of Ogikubo Kotobuki Shopping Street. A retro café with the feel of a neighborhood Western-style restaurant?⭐ I stopped by for lunch💕 and chose the hamburg. 🥗The salad was large, and I got plenty♪ The hamburg was fluffy The portion was huge! It had lots of binder, so it was very gentle on the stomach♪ Perfect for me! The demi-glace sauce tasted wonderfully balanced and delicious too. You can choose bread or rice I chose bread🍞, and it was piping hot and fluffy with plenty of butter. I think the hamburg and bread were the tastiest things for me✨ On another day.. The curry is good too. The coffee is delicious! A homey feel💕 ------------------------------------- Since they're closed on Sundays, when I visited on a public holiday, it was busy inside. Lunch is 1030円, and includes a main, salad, and a drink🎵 I love their hamburg and salad. The salad has sesame dressing with burdock and carrots. I'm hooked on the pasta, potatoes, and mayonnaise😍 The demi-glace sauce is insanely good! It arrives with plenty poured over it! You can choose from two coffees after your meal (Toraja/ice-temperature-aged coffee), and they're delicious! The retro interior is lovely too, but.. the food tastes like something from a Western-style restaurant rather than a coffee shop? So satisfying. I'll visit again.
