My favorite cafe near Waseda. Lunch set is under 900 yen, so definitely on the affordable side. Plus, I have yet to come across anything here that doesn’t taste good. I especially recommend the pho set! The atmosphere is super calm and perfect for a casual lunch with friends or reading.

The Bahn Mi was delicious and the matcha latte was literally the best matcha latte I've ever had in my entire life (and I've gotten a lot of matcha lattes from a lot of different places!!!)

Definitely a new favorite Cafe around Waseda Uni’s area!!! LOVED IT HERE!!! Upon entering the cozy coffee shop, it smelled amazing Smelled like cinnamon combined with some pleasant herbs, I loved the whole vibe! You’ll immediately know the place offers authentic Thai drinks and desserts just by the aesthetic (and the smell inside the Cafe, ADDICTING yo I’m tellin’ y’all if u like Thai food you will love it here). The owner seemed to handle the Cafe alone, which shows how hard-working he is おつかれさまでした, Owner-さん! He seemed to travel often back and forth in Thailand hence the whole theme of the Cafe, gotta give props to his passion and dedication to his craft. The Thai Cappuccino and Traveller’s Fuel were both absolutely delicious, great quality for an EVEN GREATER PRICE!!! That good of a latte is easily more expensive if a chain cafe served it, but their price of 450 yen is a bargain; great interiors, great coffee, great desserts, great vibe, great price, and even greater customers (I’m talking about me, I’m great 冗談 lol jk). Honestly, this Cafe is an 11/10; anyone rating this below 8/10 are crazy lololol kidding Support local businesses here in Tokyo! Support authentic, cozy, cute Cafes y’all
