Kita City, Tokyo, Japan｜Cafe Dear

A great Japanese Kissa-Ten (Cafe). Comfortable atmosphere and nice services. Not for kids. You can smoke tobacco here. There are various foods like toasts, sandwich, spaghetti, pilaf, doria, etc.

I visited around 8:30 on a holiday, but there were no previous customers. As soon as I entered the store, the female shopkeeper told me, "Disinfect your hands!" I finished disinfecting as I was told and asked if I could sit anywhere. When I sat down and looked at the menu, the female shopkeeper glared at me and whispered, "It's late, hurry up." By the way, it takes about 2 minutes to get to your seat. There was also a morning set, but I was hungry, so I ordered butter toast and blended coffee. Toast and coffee were brought in about 5 minutes. The thickness of the bread is about 4 slices. Fluffy with a high density fabric. The toast was light, and I didn't feel much fragrance or crispy texture. The surface is covered with plenty of margarine (margarine with butter?), which is just called butter. The combination of the sweetness of the bread itself and the slightly salty margarine is a stable taste. The blended coffee was delicious with a weak acidity and a mild bitterness. The interior of the shop is based on brown and has a very calm atmosphere. On a holiday morning, it's nice to sit on a soft sofa and drink coffee while listening to a music box mixed with noise playing in the store. The female shopkeeper's strict customer service attitude is also somewhat endearing. I would like to use it again when I come nearby. Thank you for the meal. By the way, smoking is allowed in all seats. Payment is cash only. The toilet is Japanese style.

You won't understand how good this restaurant is just by visiting it once. Both the young clerk and the mother are wonderful. I always feel like it's a nice and relaxing shop. My favorite is shrimp pilaf.
