Cozy, friendly, great food, unique and quiet atmosphere. The dishes are made with care. Note the excellent foam on the cafe au lait. It's a bit hidden away on an alley in the Nezu area of Ueno, which only adds to the charm. Update, 2022: menu has changed slightly but the atmosphere and the quality of the food is still the same. Tomato cheese dish with locally made bread was quite good as well as the chicken curry.

This is the second time I'm here and it has become my favorite spot in the area. Perfect for a relaxing break in Tokyo. I was able to sit here for quite a long time and just enjoy the atmosphere. This place doesn't blast the Ac either making it just right. Will definitely visit again if I get the opportunity.

Delightful cafe tucked away in a cute side street. The staff were all so warm, welcoming, and patient - they took a good amount of time to explain their various coffees and desserts with a satisfying level of detail. Their fruit tart (pictured) was absolutely scrumptious. The tart was the perfect temperature - still a little warm - which complemented the fresh fruit and blueberries that were ever so slightly chilled. Having this along with a fresh cup of coffee was the ideal way to spend a Sunday afternoon. Overall ambience was befitting of a neighbourhood cafe e.g., items contributed by frequent customers are on display for guests to take a look at if they desire. The price tag for a cup of coffee could be considered expensive, however the superb quality of the coffee/food and atmosphere more than make up for that. Definitely recommend if you are ever in the Taito-ku area.

Visited back in 2015. It was peaceful and calm, simply enjoying coffee and the home-cooked meal while watching the passerby. The gem in quite corner of Nippori.

We found this hidden gem while walking through Yanaka. A beautiful and unique atmosphere, with amazing food and a selection of baked goods. We had the chocolate and macadamia scones which were delicious. The staff here are so kind and friendly and we truly enjoyed our experience here.
