This cafe looks like a fast food take-out restaurant, with it's ordering counter and casual decor, but they do offer table seating and service.
Today's lunches included a kara-age and croquette lunch, or a cabbage roll and quiche set. There are other sets such as a hamburger patty and quiche lunch to choose from. The A and B plate (formerly mentioned) lunches were ¥750 and for 100¥ extra a coffee or fruit tea (normally ¥350-400) can be added. Today's quiche was bacon and spinach. It was unlike any quiche I've tasted before because although it was a savory pie, it was quite sweet. The crust was soft and shortbread cookie-like and melded with the egg filling. It was almost like eating a custard dessert. There were slices of sweet onion embedded throughout, but with that amount of sweetness, it was probably sweetened with sugar. The cabbagee roll in tomato soup was pretty standard, the meat was so soft that I think there may have been panko mixed throughout and it absorbed the soup well. The tomato soup was reminiscent of canned Campbell's tomato soup. The buttered cheese toast was not salty at all and the cheese topping was although mild, it made for a nice complement to the savory roll cabbage and the sweet quiche. The salad was just lettuce and carrot with an orange color mayonnaise dressing . It may have been a carrot flavor.
This is a fruits and quiche cafe, so I went for the fruit tea, today was a peach one. It had a very nice peach candy flavor, with only a slight sweetness. It needed no sugar added.
The dessert was a yogurt and grape jelly parfait. The yogurt, only slightly sweetened went nicely with the fruity tea.
