Bunkyo City, Tokyo, Japan｜Nikki Cafe

I go here a lot (whenever I need to escape the university without actually going far from the university.) It's my default choice for catching up with friends, or when our lab has a visitor. A nice alternative to the nearby Starbucks, if you're getting bored of their atmosphere. The lunch set (pasta or curry rice) and a drink) is very reasonable at 800 yen. Definitely give the cream cheese pretzels a try! The only downside is there are only about 15 seats, so better to go off the peak lunch time or for afternoon tea.

Comfortable cafe: NIKKI Cafe provides a delicious curry with many seasonable vegetables plus large coffee which costs about 1000 JPY. A waitress is very kind and keeps a proper distance between her and a customer. MUST have a pretzels and talk with a cute cat!

The curry that changes every week is so delicious that I order it every time. The calm atmosphere and staff, the number of seats with a certain amount of space, the smoking area, the cats, etc. make it perfect as a coffee shop.
