Everything was delicious! I had avocado salmon toast, pasta, and fries with a friend. It was a little pricey, but it was more than worth it. The interior was also stylish, and we sat on the terrace, which had lots of natural light and felt warm. I’d like to go again.

クレイジーカフえ

I value being able to eat at my own pace during breaks at work or on my days off, and this place does exactly that in a smart way. It’s a rare spot in Ebisu where you can enjoy good food and the space around you without worrying about other people’s eyes.

As a directly operated store of Yotsuba Gyunyu (Yotsuba Milk), it mainly serves menu items made with dairy products and ingredients from Hokkaido.

A popular item on the cafe menu is the pancake made with buttermilk powder.

The Yotsuba no Funwari Kezuri Butter Pancake Tensaito Mitsu Zoe (fluffy shaved butter pancake with beet molasses syrup) is said to have an excellent balance of sweetness and saltiness, so it is easy to enjoy even though it is quite filling.

It’s nice that for Takeout, you can use the outdoor terrace seating (3 tables)! It’s a little pricey, but I’m happy I can have Hokkaido (northernmost prefecture of Japan) soft serve in Tokyo too♩It had a nice milky richness, but was still light and tasty!

The portions are quite generous, so ordering a meal, parfait, and pancakes all by yourself might be a bit much. It’s best to enjoy them by sharing with a group. Both the taste and Manzoku were high, and everything was really good.

Mercer Cafe Danro

In spring and summer, you can enjoy your meal on the open terrace, while in autumn and winter, you can dine around the fireplace.

The slight bitterness of the generous nama caramel (fresh caramel) sauce and the lightly sweetened whipped cream are said to be a perfect match.

The Appetizers are very filling. Reviews praise the stylish seasoning and satisfying portions.

けーすけーーー

I visited the popular MERCER CAFE DANRO in Ebisu (a district in Tokyo). At lunchtime, the light coming in from the terrace felt pleasant, and the fresh atmosphere, different from the evening, was lovely too.

When you arrive at the restaurant, you choose one Appetizers and one main dish. After some thought, I went with the white eggplant caponata and gorgonzola egg for the Appetizers. For the main, I chose grilled chicken. The Appetizers were very good, and the eggplant paired really well with the gorgonzola cheese. Bread also comes on the side with the main dish. This bread was so soft and delicious~

Furomu Toppu

A cafe where you can enjoy seasonal cafe offerings and carefully selected drinks. The high ceilings give the interior an open feel, and there is also terrace seating, creating a quiet and relaxing space.

The cafe is located on the first floor of the Tokyo-to Shashin Bijutsukan (Tokyo Photographic Art Museum) inside Ebisu Garden Place.

They serve simple meals and desserts that bring out the natural flavors of the ingredients.

The "purin ichigo-nose (pudding topped with strawberries)" is their most popular dessert, with an adorable look. The pudding has a firm texture and a rich egg flavor.

The drink-included "yasai karee (vegetable curry) and luroufan (braised pork rice) Combination" uses plenty of vegetables.

You can enjoy both curry and luroufan at the same time, so it is very satisfying. They also recommend adding sukaaki (pickled persimmon vinegar) to taste.

A hidden gem cafe on the 1st floor of Tokyo Metropolitan Museum of Photography ☕️Maybe not many people know about it, because I got in right away even during the daytime. I had their specialty strawberry pudding and Yakushima black tea. The pudding was firm and only lightly sweet, but it went down easily and tasted great! They also have terrace seats, and it’s an easy place to drop into, so I’d like to go again ✨

I ordered the anbutter biscuit made with mochikibi (proso millet). The lightly sweet biscuit with its crisp and crumbly texture went very well with the anko (sweet red bean paste). The presentation was lovely too.

月夜に米

Maybe because the lunch rush had already passed, a terrace seat was available. The terrace was in the shade at that time, so I could avoid direct sunlight. You can still hear the music from the terrace, so it’s nice to enjoy good music while looking outside on a pleasant day.
