I hope their crepes are better than the galettes...

This cafe has a variety of sweet crepes and savory galettes to choose from.  Since I came for lunch, I went with the prosciutto and salad galette (about 800円).  It was a very simple galette, not filled with anything, so I think they needed to concentrate on the actual galette a bit more.  It was a soft and soggy mess (and it wasn't due to the salad dressing).  Because the dough is made with buckwheat flour, when it's this soggy, the grainy texture really shows through.  It definitely doesn't compete with the creperie on the 13th floor of the JR Towers restaurant.

What I liked about this dish was that alongside the ham came a scoop of light cream cheese and a shot glass of honey to pour over it.  It added an extra level to the ham and unsweetened galette.

It may be better to order a sweet crepe at this small cafe if your craving a break from shopping.
