Such an awesome little Cafe, super friendly staff, amazing coffee and the finest houjicha tart I've ever had. I love this place. It's too bad I cannot sample more of the menu as I prefer to dine in than takeaway.

📝: Japanese cafe serving cute breakfast sets and brunch in a modern interior. With tables usually full, you can guarantee it’s taste. They also sell Japanese snacks and ceramic cups for those who are interested,
❤️: I had the Salmon Don since the breakfast set I wanted ran out. Those who love poke bowls or fusion Japanese foods would love this. They also have Lunch Sets that rotates each day. So you’ll get to try different dishes each time you visit!

Ima Cafe is a quaint and cosy little spot in the sleepy part of Carlton. The menu showcases a concise selection of Japanese staples , such as rice bowl, Japanese curry, onigiri and side sides such as fried chicken and grilled eggplant.
As with most Japanese food, the fresh and quality ingredients play a big part in creating the dish. Balanced and clean flavours, complementing the ingredients without overpowering them. I really enjoyed the onigiri, one filled with pickled mustard and another with salmon. The chicken karaage was tender with a beautiful crunch, and the grilled eggplant possessed a smoky caramelised sweetness to it.
The meal wouldn't be complete without dessert and the hojicha tart hit the spot. The base was a delicious mix of texture reminiscent of a flaky pastry and biscuit crumb. The hojicha flavour was pronounced and incredibly delicious. This went down a treat with my dirty matcha latte.
