Expensive coffee is brewed differently, but is it worth it?....

If it weren't in Takashimaya, I may have thought this was a maid cafe since the waitresses were dressed in maid uniforms.  The decor does have a nice French Bistro feel to it though.  But being in Takashimaya, you can expect it to be a little on the pricey side; note the 630円 coffee is the size of a very small cup.  It is brewed by manually pouring hot water through a sac which drips into the cup, but somehow I'm not sure if I'd pay that amount again for this coffee.

The vegetable sandwich (680円) was filled with fresh veggies (yellow pepper, tomato, cucumber, onions), and an olive oil seasoning.  It's probably not apparent from the photo, but it's quite a large sandwich, almost one and a half times the regular bread size.  I think you could probably imagine the taste just by looking at the photo.  What I liked about this cafe was that they ask if you want to keep the crust on or have it cut off.  I tend to look down upon cafes that automatically cut the best part of the bread off!
