This cafe prides itself on its premium coffee and its home-made bread. The sandwich set (800円) included a drink, salad, and the soup of the day. The salad seems plain at first but for some reason I really enjoyed the dressing. It was Italian with lots of umami and aromatic spices. The sandwich I chose was the egg salad and avocado (also had sweet red peppers). It's what you would expect of an egg salad and avocado combo. I would have liked the bread to be slightly less toasted so that I could get a sense of the texture and flavour of their prided home-made creation. It was a little too crispy to really judge it. The soup was a potato consomme; thick but smooth.
You can choose from a couple of blends if you order coffee. I tried the Nicaraguan beans; this cafe definitely makes their coffee well, and I'm sure they make it fresh upon order.
The space in the back of the cafe where the tables are is a bit too dark in my opinion, but perhaps that's because I was planning to read. However the counter area is bright and has almost a completely different atmosphere compared to the back.
