Taito City, Tokyo, Japan｜Ōjō

I went here is morning around 10AM and the waitress in eyeglasses who served me was very accommodating. She greeted me sincerely with a smile and told me I can choose my own seat. I ordered a morning set toast with Iced Coffee and I was extremely surprised that the store included a bottle of alcohol gel for me to use! It’s very hygienic and considerate for them to include this very essential thing to strive for cleanliness! Most restaurants and cafés don’t think thought of this idea. The only thing I wish they could add would be an English menu just in case a foreign tourists will visit the coffee shop. I know going to shops like this might not be very famous among foreign tourists yet but just in case such menu might be a good help. Secondly, I wanted to have a second helping of Iced Coffee but it’s way too expensive which is almost the same price as a morning set. I just wish that they could have made it cheaper for customers who ordered and wanted to add more drinks after the first order. So, I ended up ordering another morning set which is cheaper than a drink refills. I didn’t regret it, though! The toast was amazing! :-) Overall, the staff were great but in terms of second drink pricing, it’s a little expensive. The second staff who was not wearing eyeglasses was also kind and cheerful. Their washroom and toilet was also spic-and-span! Going to retro cafés gave me anxiety of using the toilet due to bad experience but this café’s toilet somehow change my perception that not all retro cafés have less-maintained toilets. Smoking is not allowed inside the coffee shop but customers are free to smoke outside the shop’s ash tray. The shop is located near JR Ueno And few minutes walk from JR Keisei Ueno.

The butter toast is absolutely great!! Breakfast set: one drink + butter toast + boiled egg=¥650 (+50¥ if chunk), I go there two mornings in a roll, prefer regular one. The drink is normal, but must try the butter toast, I definitely will go there again next time.

Heard there was a crazy cafe that serves crazy parfait. Rumor turns out it’s true lol amount of whip cream on top of chocolate parfait will wow you. We ordered different things to try sweets. Mont Blanc was great as well.
