Had a black drip coffee & coffee chiffon cake - 10/10 would recommend. Lovely ladies and while not a 'cake person' this one was like eating a cloud that tasted like coffee.

Mom and pop coffee shop. Very short menu but coffee was really good. And they served the chiffon cake with fruits and home made whipped cream. Delish! There’s also some slippers, kettle cloth, and bags that they sell. Free postcards too. What a good find!

Delicious tiny homespun little spot for chiffon cake and drinks. We went for breakfast on our way to the Sculpture house on the same road. Staff are so lovely. Perfect high quality iced matcha, served with sugar syrup on the side to taste. I went for the marble cake and it was so moist, delicious and beautifully presented. Lovely stuff.

This hidden gem is located in a quiet neighborhood in Yanaka, and it's a perfect place to relax and enjoy a cup of coffee and a slice of cake. Their chiffon cake at is truly one of the best I've ever had. It's so light and fluffy. Highly recommended.

Super moist chiffon cake! It was just subtly sweet, and is great for those who don’t enjoy overly sweetened stuff/trying to eat healthy. The flavour is on the milky side. Deducted one star because the base of the cake turned really soggy after keeping it for a day. That said, it was still a really enjoyable meal!!

I took home their fluffy chiffon cake of three types: coffee, chocolate and vanilla marble, and vanilla. Coffee chiffon was really fragrant with coffee aroma, marbled one was for chocolate manias, and vanilla can come perfectly with creams. Freshly baked and excellent!!
