One of the best brunch experience.
Start with Piccolo, nice creama, medium dark roast coffee beans, and perfect temperature!
Good to start my day and waken up the appetite.
Crab đŠ omelette was perfectly cooked, not so much colour on omelette, the way it should be, perfectly seasoned, nice crunchy Asian style salad with pickle cucumber ribbon and coriander , slice chilli and bean sprout, chilli jam, slice of lemon and toasted bread on the side.
Omurice was awesome too, those classics style with tomato rice, bacon, pea, cheese, creamy omelette and those dark miso mushroom gravy bring the dish into the next level.
Matcha Mille-feuille, Japanese fusion with classic French dessert was amazing!
Matcha not so sweet, pastry was golden and crunchy, itâs a perfect sweet to end good meal!
Awesome little Japanese fusion cafe tucked away in Surry Hills. They have a bunch of matcha flavoured items on their menu such as french toast, tiramisu and brownies we got the French toast which had strong matcha flavours but we found it quite dry. Everything else was great though.
An asian fusion cafe in Surry Hills- a mix of Japanese and western cafe I would say! I got to love their menu! Especially the Japanese curry udon and the matcha Mille feuille! Perfect flavours! And a great cafe vibe!
Real rating: 7.3/10
The hojicha milkshake was flavourful and thick, hence a must try. Demi-glacé rice was a decent surprise, a perfect embodiment of a Japanese & cafe style fusion dish.
Mentaiko pasta however was a let down, it tasted very fishy and does not blend well with the pasta.
Kentaro is a Japanese-themed cafe in Surry Hills. Its menu and name are suspiciously reminiscent of Orantek in Redfern. It remains unclear if these similarities are a product of convergent or divergent evolution. We were seated on either end of a very long table outside, presumably due to COVID-19 social distancing restrictions. These restrictions did not apply to the diners sitting next to each other inside the cafe. I cannot comment on the decor as we did not go inside.

I love a good Asian fusion cafe, Cafe Kentaro was no exception. Situated in the leafy Surry Hills, it's a very chill spot with a rustic interior.
đźJapanese Tortilla ($18) soft shell tacos, soy braised pork belly, brown rice, pickled radish, eggs, shallot, coriander, lime, mustard
đ¶Spicy Buta n Kimuchi Toast + poached eggs ($18.5) - sliced pork belly, chives, garlic shoots, bean sprouts, yakiniku sauce
đ”Matcha Mille Feuille ($8.5)
Soft-shell tacos are a well-loved Mexican classic with the expected brown rice, veggies and lime. The Japanese influence really shines through the gooey egg, mustard and tangy pickled radish. The soy-braised pork belly was absolutely delicious.
The Matcha Mille Feuille is a must-try, especially from the self-proclaimed matcha experts. As a sugar lover, I enjoy a classic mille-feuille or napoleon. The sweet custard you expect is replaced with bitter matcha which is a very bold choice. This is balanced by the sweetness of crunchy puff pastry and fresh berries. I was very impressed by how beautiful and tasty this dessert was.
This toast was wonderfully stacked with pork belly, chives, garlic shoots, bean sprouts, yakiniku sauce and of course, kmichi.
Bf review: I loved the kimchi and the poached egg added the perfect flavour.
Following the success of Cafe Oratnek in Redfern, Chef Kenny Takayama opened a second cafe in Surry Hills. This large cafe in a quiet street with leafy surrounds is not far from Cleveland St, Crown St and the light rail stops, hence it is in an excellent location. The cafe is light and bright with rustic industrial styling with exposed brick walls, indoor and outdoor seating.

A Japanese-inspired cafe!
The âOur signature Katsu-worth the 15 min waitâ(200g pork loin katsu). The âKentaro style omuriceâ. The drink âHojicha latteâ. The food was delicious,worth the price,good portion and indeed filling! They give large portions which is great.
The omurice was my favourite. It was nice and creamy! It was seriously so tasty. I would definitely come back for it.đ€€ The pork loin Katsu is good. I donât know about other people but I would have loved it more if it was a bit more tender and juicy.
The desserts âMatcha Mille feuilleâ and âMatcha lamingtonâ.
-Both desserts were lovely and enjoyable. I like that the desserts were not too sweet. The âMatcha Mille feuilleâ is tasty and has a strong matcha flavour. Note that its actual size is a lot smaller compared to photos!The fruits balanced out the bitterness of the matcha. The matcha is strong but it wasnât overpowering or too bitter. The matcha lamington is nice and light! The matcha flavour is quite subtle which makes it a bit plain. You taste more lamington than the matcha itself. đ”đ
If matcha and Japanese fusion dishes are your thing or you are curious about these flavours, this cafe is a must visit.
Having been to the sister cafe awhile about (Oratenek), I was keen to try Kentaro (which I discovered is the same name spelt backwards!)
The standout dishes for me were the pork katsu sando sandwich (the meat was juicy and crispy on the outside, and I loved the mustard inside on soft white bread), matcha Mille feuille pastry (light and crispy pastry with delicate matcha creme) and the omurice which was so addictive and full of flavour.
Note: I dined as a guest of the venue, all views expressed above are my own.
Love this place! Can get a bit busy on the weekend but it moves quickly. The katsu sandwich is a winner but I love the pork belly and kimchi on toast. They change some of the menu seasonally so there's usually something new to try too.
We came here on a summer Sunday, and sat outside on the quiet Bourke street among houses with elaborate railings, pastel in colour and colonial in style, sunshine spilling through the lush canopies. But the idyllic surroundings would have just been a nice perk if it wasnât for the amazing eclectic food and warm neighborhood-friendly service. We got:
1. Organic matcha soba salad: so refreshing on a summer day!
2. Miso glazed bbq beef belly: very filling and flavorful
3. Matcha french toast: amazing french toast with the sweetness balanced by the matcha
Highly recommend and would go again!
Coffee is great.
Food is Japanese-inspired (which is not my fav) but I had hard poached eggs on toast which was normal. And not overpriced. Service is polite but in winter, the cafe is a little cool / fresh even inside as it has a very industrial feel with the furniture, etc.
The baked eggs looked very yummy and had a good Japanese twist to it (added tofu and some other stuff).Â
Place is a bit out of the way, parking is available on the street but can be hit and miss. Not a huge cafe so when busy, be prepared to wait.
I had their special omurice and it was really yummy, but i think the portion is a bit smaller than i expected, and mine came out a bit colder than i expected. Loved the sauce though!
Delicious and affordable brunch đ€© Worth the price, good portion & quite filling! The signature katsu is definitely recommended. LOOVE THE KATSU! đ Personally just wished the bread was slightly toasted / grilled to make it crispy, that would have made it perfect!
Ordered via Uber eat. Love the matcha smoothie and omelette rice! But the matcha French toast is a little bitter for me haha, and the soy flat white is also tasty!
Find out about Cafe Kentaro by scrolling through zomato top cafe brunch, and i just absolutely in love with this little hidden gem in Surry Hills. Their menu is really diverse with variety of option from Japanese food to classic Aussie brunch food , which is a major plus point for people who just got bored by the same old toast and burger in other cafes like me. The signature katsu is really nice, the meat is tender and juicy. The omurice is just an absolutely bomb, i love how they use tomato rice instead of normal chicken fried rice , the tomato flavor balance well with the creamy taste of the sauce.Â
Asian fusion cafe are become more and more popular nowadays and i'm glad cafe Kentaro got the recognized they deserve. I'd absolutely coming back again to try some more.
Really enjoyed the sister cafe Cafe Oratnek and came here finally, the staff are friendly and the food selection is diverse... really enjoyed the Mille feuille which was just the right size and had enough matcha taste to it... would visit again
Down the leafy end of Bourke St in Surry Hills, between Crown St and South Dowling, Cafe Kentaro is lovely spot to stop by while waking the dog or to visit from brunch.
With delicate Japanese Fusion dishes on their all day breakfast menu, delicious sweets and cakes and expertly crafted coffee, Cafe Kentaro delivers innovative and delicious dishes.
Chirashi Salad.
Fresh Tuna, avocado, cucumber, heirloom tomatoes, edamame, peas, lotus root, sliced omelette, nori and spelt with a wasabi and sesame dressing.
Beef Tataki.
Thinly sliced seared Wagyu Beef with an Asian green salad and soy mirin dressing and cheese wafers.
Heirloom Tomatoes and Cucumber Toast.
One slice of thick cut toast with home made chilli jam, heirloom tomatoes, cucumber, goats cheese, mint and coriander + add a poached egg.
Hiyajiru.
A grilled rice ball with hot smoked salmon, nori, shallots, crushed tofu, cucumber, chilli miso in a chilled miso chicken broth.
After trying their French Toast at Oratnek, I have to come here to try the other most Insta item of their menu, the signature katsu. When the word "signature" get used, it's like the whole reputation of the place is hanging on it. Happy to say that it definitely lives up to expectations. Looking impressive as it arrives on a wooden board as three ginormous thick cuts with some bread & cabbage layers between, there's no doubt what's the star of the dish. The matcha iced tea was also good with an intense but not offensive hit of the matcha. The service was efficient. Will be back.
Cafe Kentaro is a Japanese fusion cafe run by the owner behind Cafe Oratnek and does Japanese fusion dishes with lots of matcha elements. I am a huge fan of matcha so decided to come here for brunch one day to check it out. We ordered some drinks and coffees to start before ordering some desserts and dishes to share. The desserts we tried were the matcha and white chocolate brownie, matcha lamington and matcha mille feuille. I loved the flavours in these, they had the right balance between strong but not overpowering.
Sydney seems to have an abundance of Japanese inspired cafes which is great because theyâre right up my alley. Cafe Kentaro is situated on Bourke Street in Surry Hills, just down the road from Bourke Street Bakery. You may have heard of Cafe Kentaroâs sister restaurant, Cafe Oratnek, which is in Redfern. I had tried to go to Cafe Oratnek once but was faced with a long line up so didnât end up trying it. I had seen photos of Cafe Kentaroâs omurice and was determined to try it. Thankfully, no line ups this time!
A brunch place I will go back. Really love their pork Katsu sandwich definitely a must have. Their matcha latte and lamington was quite plain only great for photo.
Pretty and neat cafe in surry hills. Very similar to its sister cafe (cafe oratnek) in terms of menu and drinks. I personally loved the Omurice here compared to the other cafe, cooked in a different style but i loved it!!! We also loved the Mentaiko pasta and their signature Katsu sandwiches! Overall lovely and fast service, great place to hang out with friends ïŒïŒ
Such a fabulous menu with a unique selection of food. Had the porridge which was delicious, it was a little bland but perfect for me. The Yuzu tea pot was amazing and could have sat drinking it the whole day. Staff were very friendly, will definitely be going back for more.
We ordered Omurice and their signature chicken kastu sandwich đ€€ the portions are decent and tastes fantastic! We also ordered two drinks, hojicha thickshake and espresso jelly, which tasted sooo good. Staff is friendly and location is nice and quiet, definitely recommend it as a chill spot.
Having fallen in love with Kenny Takayamaâs Japanese fusion dishes at the original Cafe Oratnek, I was over the moon to visit his newest venture, Cafe Kentaro!
Situated on a quiet, leafy strip of Bourke Street in Surry Hills, Kentaro is much bigger and more spacious than sister Oratnek, whilst maintaining the same warm, rustic interior. I was excited to see well-loved classics like the signature katsu sandwich and umami mushroom toast still on the menu, alongside an extensive list of new fusion dishes to try.
The food and service here is actually really good! My boyfriend and i had the kaarage sambo, which was very different! The chicken was soft and tender - soo yummy! The omurice was flavourful and soft! All the textures blended in super nicely and well. Overall, i would come back to try more of their menu!
Good place nice Japanese influence cafe. Pork sando is huge but not juicy enough for me. other was nice food and love the matcha lamington look so heavy too eat but so light. overall great place
A hipster - like cute cafe combined with the Japanese style food that provides the best of both western and Japanese food together. Ordered the Kaarage Sambo and it was something I never tried with kaarage chicken. But it was worth trying something new!
I love this local cafe. The food is consistently good. It is summer now so try the housemade espresso jelly and milk. And at the moment, am addicted to spicy yakiniku buta kimchi toast and organic green tea soba noodles. YUM!
I knew I knew the name Kentaro from somewhere⊠and thatâs because I had brunch quite a while ago at Cafe Oratnek (Kentaro, backwards, get it?) in Redfern. I love me some Japanese fusion, and I can see the rest of Surry Hills does too. Thereâs been a nice buzz about this place (long ago called Cowbell something or other, and then an inexpensive cafe that didnât last that long and finally Cafe Kentaro).
Just happened to be directly across the rd from our Air BnB place. This is an absolute gem. Went twice while we were staying in Syd. Liked it as soon as I walked in. The interior is lovely. Open windows really bring in the light from outside. The location is great. The staff were lovely too! Coffee was awesome. The cuisine is Japanese fusion. Cafe classics with a twist. The lunch menu looks like it has the Nap classics. Katsu etc. I ordered breaky on two occasions - the 4 Beans n Pea Toast. Omg. So good. Has spinach, peas, edamame and prosciutto. Sounds like it wouldn't work but it does. Ingredients were super fresh. I also tried the Matcha and White Choc brownie which was amazing. Can not fault this place and hope I can go back if I'm ever in Surrey Hills again!
Omurice and hojicha thickshake was amazing! I absolutely loved it. My boyfriend ordered the steak and oratnek expresso jelly, those orders weren't that great so I definitely recommend to stay away from those. We also ordered the matcha lamington and found it okay, not really worth it honestly. But omurice!!! Nomnom :)

Great time at Cafe Kentaro!
We came on a Wednesday morning around 7 am. Not very busy at first but got crowded with busy parents and teachers from the school down the road.
Service was good, our drinks and meals came quickly.
We had a Long Black and the Cold Drip. The long black was a bit underwhelming, however, the cold drip was absolutely outstanding and I would have that every morning if I could.
Excellent food and sweet treats! There are a lot of Asian fusion cafes in Sydney, but I really enjoyed Cafe Kentaro's menu. It leans more towards the Asian side than Western, which I think is its charm. The Wasabi sauce on the Brekkie Roll is the perfect exotic condiment, and while the Buta Kimuchi Toast with Pork Belly is more of a lunch item than breakfast it is delicious nonetheless, and I love having interesting items for breakfast anyway. The Matcha cream puff is so unique! Definitely would go back for that again.
Recommendations: The Cold drip, they do an amazing job of one. The Brekkie Roll is also a must-try.
Had a Japanese fusion brunch at Cafe Kentaro one weekend. The stand outs were the sweets! We had the matcha lamington which was divine and the matcha white chocolate muffin, another great hit! My spicy buta-kimuchi toast (pork belly) was flavorsome. Hubby didn't quite like the Signature katsu, not much flavor in the middle as the chicken pieces were really thick. Coffee was good and service very friendly!
We always enjoy a bit of fusion on the menu and Cafe Kentaro has plenty of it on offer at their casual space on Bourke Street, with an experimental flair leading to some interesting creations. To start off we tucked into their addictive Karaage Sambo, which showcased crispy fried chicken, covered with mayo and tempered with a lightly flavoured kimchi, for a subtle kick between the bread bun.
Matcha has established a devout following around the world and its umami characteristics are most certainly flavour of the month in Sydney, in more ways than one. Â Too often, however, the true art of matcha is devalued when cost-conscious, supposedly âJapanese-influencedâ cafes use low quality ingredients and the end result disappoints.
One good thing about having a day off work is checking out cafes that would be busy on the weekends so since this was closer to home and on my Wishlist, my husband and I came here for lunch.
Nice sunny day with the cafe not busy at all which was perfect! With the staffs recommendation we tried their signature pork katsu sandwhich and the kentaro
Style omurice. The omurice was the standout with the bacon, creamy omelette and cheese! The katsu came out thick and tender on white bread which I haven't had in a long time but it tasted pretty good.
We tried their matcha lamington afterwards but it wasn't anything special. I'll definitely come back for that omurice!
Delicacy and care is infused in every aspect of this gem in Surry Hills. From their Japanese fusion creations on their plates, to their warm and friendly service, this cafe deservingly earns my 5 star thumps up. 5X âïžđđŒ
In Short: Café Kentaro takes contemporary classics, like poutine and tacos, and injects it with a Japanese touch. Extensive menu with great coffee and delightful drinks in leafy Surry Hills.
Kenny Takayamaâs first foray into Sydneyâs cafĂ© scene with CafĂ© Oratnek challenged the breakfast norms with an infusion of Japanese flavours and techniques. His second offering CafĂ© Kentaro (which cheekily is Oratnek spelt backwards!) is a step up in refinement, but also branches out reinventing non-Japanese classics, like tacos and poutine, as well as bringing a classic across from their Redfern cafe.
Apparently western resto with Japanese twist is currently become a trend in Sydney. I came here after got brunch in Medan Ciak, cause they still on same area, Surry Hills. I ordered matcha french toast, matcha cream puff and hojicha latte. Matcha french toast is good, matcha taste is balance not sweet nor too bitter, it made from brioche instead using regular bread so it's crunchy. Matcha cream puff is average, choux skin not softy. Price wise not really expensive.

Have been wanting to visit Kentaro since they opened and when they came out with this omurice rendition it was the final push I needed.
Went all out and ordered a drink - it's my first time having a houjicha latte, but I've consumed houjicha before in the form of Kit Kats and soft serve đ This houjicha latte was OK - the tea flavour was rather muted for my liking and perhaps not quite smooth enough. It comes unsweetened so you can add brown sugar to your discretion.
The Kentaro style omurice ($18) consists of tomato fried rice with peas, bacon, cheese, wrapped in an omelette and ladled with dark miso mushroom gravy. The eggs are silky, with a salty bite from pieces of tasty cheese, and umami from the miso mushroom gravy. The miso gravy reminded me a lot of the black bean sauce used in jajangmyeon. That's not to say I didn't enjoy it - I certainly did - but I was just surprised that the flavour was not as unique as it sounded and in fact tasted very familiar.
The fried rice was a bit one-dimensionally sweet because it's seasoned with ketchup - would've enjoyed a bit of acidity from real tomatoes or something else to make it more interesting. I opted for use of the cracked black pepper provided on the table. Hm, this experience now has me curious about Oratnek's omurice and whether it better caters to what I'm looking for.
For our other dish, we got the Japanese poutine ($15) - pulled beef, teriyaki gravy, shallots, goat cheese, chips. Chips might typically be a side dish but this is a huge bowl (it is $15, after all) and would definitely be too much for a side unless you're a group of 4 or 5. Luckily we didn't make this mistake and ordered it as 1 of 2 dishes between 2 people. It's certainly satisfying enough.
I love the fluffy chips that are just the perfect thickness. They're good even after they've turned soggy from the gravy. The teriyaki gravy has an interesting gelatinous quality that reminds me somewhat fondly of Cantonese stewed pig tails or chicken feet (but I assume it's just the work of corn starch in this case, rather than the beef). The gravy was just a notch too sweet. The sharp, tangy goat cheese and hot chilli flakes alleviate the heavy sweetness a little.
Overall, the dishes weren't perfect but it was a pleasant meal in an amicable setting. Kentaro gives me the same comforting and familiar vibes as Oratnek (where I'll probably find myself next time sampling their omurice).
Let me start by saying that it's rare to encounter a place where the staff so perfectly embody the location - what we got at Kentaro was attentive, charming, and accommodating staff and that makes a huge difference in your meal. No faults there.
The distinctly Japanese twist to the menu caught our attention but for me personally, the garnishes on the yakisoba hot dog and omurice were nearing overpowering, which diminished the potential enjoyment there. Special mention goes to the hojicha shake, that was amazing and subtle and just oh so good. The dessert puff boasted a strong matcha flavour and was a nice light finish on top of an otherwise heavy meal.

Chancing upon Cafe Kentaro numerous times in my travels, the allure brought me back for intended visit. The earthy tones with tree-timber hangers and air plants, exposed brickwork from chipped-away render match perfectly to leafy Bourke Street. Its another asian-inspired cafe yet actually lives up to the quality expected from this kind of fare in Sydney. Seemingly heavy and indulgent, dishes are well balanced to soften what can sometimes be an assault from a strong focus on fried foods.
Miso Mushrooms on toast are moderate on serve and big on flavour. The mushrooms rich, and the goats cheese light on. The dish goes really well with a zesty side of avo. The Karaage chicken burger is modest on visuals yet so much lies beneath. Even the second half still holds crispiness in the batter when sandwiched between the bun and paired with a light, yet ever so garlicky kimchi.
The coffee is sensational. The cold drip is also clean and light, and easily one of the better versions around. So far, so good, but what really rounded Kentaro out, was the relaxed, yet professional down to earth vibe among the staff. Its just comfortable and easy, and matches the rest of the atmosphere counteracting any chaos or discontent possible from having a hot kitchen smack bang in the center of the dining area.
Grabbing coffe on my midday and tried the greentea lamington.. really nice and interesting! Got the bannofie pie muffin as well but did not take picture of it but its sooooo goooddd. Love it so much!! Might come back for that muffin!

During the relentless Sydney summer there is nothing better than finding a shady cafe to shelter away from the sun and soak up vibrant, fresh, flavourful food and sip on crisp, chilled drinks. Japanese fusion café, Café Kentaro in Surry Hills was the perfect spot for us to while away an afternoon and do just this. Café Kentaro is the sister café of Oratnek in Redfern and Chef Kenny Takayama, former Head Chef of Bills in Darlinghurst, has created a modern, rustic space which echoes that of Oratnek. Boasting natural timber, tile and exposed brick surfaces with large bi-fold windows, it is an inviting, naturally bright and airy dining space.
Cafe Kentaro at Surry Hills combines iconic western food favourites with a japanese influence, whilst paying respects to the traditions of both food cultures. Dazz and Melle score a table outside on the leafy and quiet bourke st for a lazy Saturday lunch. So who's hungry? Let's get straight into the food. Â For full review including photos, please go to blog review
Possessing a definite Japanese aesthetic, Cafe Kentaro offers friendly and thoughtful service and a unique menu with dishes that sets it apart from your everyday brunch fare - there's not an avocado in sight! I'd happily eat every thing on the menu (and probably will work my way through it) and today settled on the Karaage Sambo. My friend's choice of Umami Mushroom Toast may have aroused some food envy - a generous mound of wild mushrooms sautéed with miso and butter with goats cheese was flavoursome and very moreish. The kids polished off their ham, cheese and tomato sandwiches and the brekkie bun was pretty awesome too. There's a small selection of sweets with the obligatory matcha flavoured treats. The matcha cream puff had a lovely choux pastry and with its strongly flavoured matcha cream is definitely one for matcha lovers.
I remember that time when Ken-san posted a photo of his omurice ($18) for staffies. I told him he should do it as a special for Oratnek. Now, it's actually part of Cafe Kentaro's menu. This tomato fried rice filled omelette was amazing! Other fillings that come with the rice are: fatty plumpy bacon pieces, peas, gooey pieces of cheese. The omelette itself was slightly spongy and dense and the tomato sauce used for the rice had a nice spiced tangy taste.
Attentive and friendly service, sister of the popular Oratnek cafe at Redfern, with a focus on matcha and Japanese flavours infused into cafe style dishes. 200g pork katsu sandwich same as at Oratnek - good ratio of cabbage and mustard to katsu on nicely toasted bread however the meat was a bit tough and dry, could've been more tender and juicy. Highly rate the omurice - egg omelette wrapped in tomato fried rice with bacon - rice grains clearly individually separated and plump and very flavoursome, loved the side of tomato salsa to season yourself to taste,
Matcha thickshake was indeed thick although not a high grade matcha used, still creamy and yummy.
I highly recommend this place!! Will be back to try the matcha pancakes.

Order the pork sandwich and twiddle for 15min.
A cafe with Japanese influence isn't a new concept in Sydney, but this cafe does something special. A pork sandwich can be boring, but when you have a thick cut of juicy pork with the right balance of striking flavours, then you start to understand why everyone patiently waits 15 min for it (as indicated on their menu).
We will definitely be back for the pan fried barramundi (sold out at the time) and coffee is a hit.
Good service and pleasant ambience. Menu has lots of variety and places a modern twist on traditional Japanese comfort food like omurice. My friend and I came around 12:30 on a Saturday and got a table straight away, although there was a line shortly after. We ordered the poutine, omurice and chicken tsukune. The omurice was liberally served with tomato sauce, a bit too much so. The tsukune had a good texture but lacked the sweet soy sauce it it traditionally served with in Japanese restaurants, although whether this was intentional, I'm not sure. The poutine was delicious and heavy. All in all, good food, although not outstanding.

What an honour to shoot at this cafe! The blended fusion Australian-Japanese is pretty special indeed! Everything presents beautifully and is so aesthetically pleasing. The menu has been finessed and is very delightful! Canât wait to return to try every single dish! Desserts will have you salivating too! đđđ Definitely give them a try!
Food and drinks selection on offer is pretty good. Service is friendly. The lamington was about the only let down and seating. Also the mille filled is very nice but tiny. My child had to eat 2pieces effectively making it quite pricey.
Love this cafe! The ambience is cosy and so relaxing - it has lots of plants, and also big windows, which is great for the current covid climate, as itâs well ventilated.
We have tried their Mentaiko omurice, Crab omelette, Signature Katsu Sando (crumbed pork cutlet sandwich) and Japanese Poutine (chips with miso gravy). For drinks, we had mocha and their homemade yuzu soda. We love all of them and in particular their katsu sandwich and their omelette. Will definitely come back!
Excellent coffee, absolutely charming service. I had the mushroom dish, which was nice but too sweet for me. The space is really nice, well designed with a relaxed retro vibe. Recommended.
The food was so good here, fluffy omurise was the bomb!! It was so creamy and cheesy and soft and the tomato fried rice balanced the whole dish so wellđđ the pork katsu sandwich was also super good. The staff are all so lovely and polite and friendly, even when it was super busy.
The drinks we got though... my goodness it was the worst matcha latte we've had - maybe it's authentic matcha latte?? But for me it was too bitter and bland.. we added sugar but still bland.. if you're used to the sweet matcha latte then I don't recommend this one. The iced mocha was not my style either, but it wasn't too bad. Just too thick and not cold enough. And their straws are too long for their cups lol they either need a shorter straw or a taller glass. Apart from that, delicious delicious brunch!! đ
The food was delicious, love the scramble egg with fried rice, but salmon is not for me. Food and services was fast. Everything was perfect.
