Why does this bakery have Vietnamese coffee?
Area: Meitetsu Department store B1 (Men's clothing wing). Attached to Sunroad (Nagoya Station)
Restaurant: St. Mark Cafe サンマルクカフェ

For about 700円 I was able to buy a sandwich, chocolate croissant and a coffee. Half the sandwich was egg and shrimp, while the other half was ham and cheese. It was light and reminds me of the kind of sandwich you can buy in a Japanese convenience store, so nothing special here. The shop seems to be famous for their Choco Kuro (croissant), which is why I had to buy one. The chocolate is soft, and milky in flavor, but somehow I feel the croissant is too mild in butter and too airy. It doesn't really add anything to the bold taste of the chocolate.
I was surprised to find that vietnamese coffee is sold here. It tasted like regular coffee mixed with condensed milk. I think it would be nice if they used a bit stronger coffee, but nevertheless it satisfied my sweet tooth. I would return for this mildly sweet coffee, but not sure about the baked goods.
