The café presents an inviting menu, with standout items that have captured the hearts of many. Patrons rave about the モーニングセット (Morning Set) priced at just 680円, featuring a generous serving of crispy bacon and perfectly cooked eggs that offer that ideal satisfying crunch and a juicy richness. Complemented by thick, buttery toast, it promises a delicious start to your day.

If you're in the mood for something heartier, the café's オムライス (Omelette Rice) is a must-try.
