I went there after it was recommended to me. It's a very stylish place with an open atmosphere. There seem to be many international visitors, and the male staff are fluent in English and provide excellent service. They offer a wide variety of unique and health-conscious food and drinks. It can get a bit chilly, like many trendy cafes these days. Overall, it's a bit pricey, but it's a great place to enjoy the ambiance.

Dog-Friendly Lunch at "iki ESPRESSO" in Kiyosumi-shirakawa "iki ESPRESSO," an espresso cafe that was popular in Chigasaki, Kanagawa Prefecture, has relocated to Tokyo and grown into a popular establishment. It's a much-talked-about cafe in the Australian/New Zealand style. The open and relaxed atmosphere, which is rare in Monshita, is excellent, making it a highly popular spot with queues. The coffee is, of course, excellent, and the food is also of a high standard, making it a place you can visit with confidence. The "homemade ricotta cheese pancakes" are popular on blogs and Instagram. They are about 4cm thick. They are moist and fluffy, and the addition of meringue during baking makes them soft. They are not too sweet, so you can adjust the sweetness with syrup or whipped cream, which is a very nice touch. The flavor is mellow and rich. The fluffy texture is addictive. I ordered an iced latte, and it went perfectly with the pancakes. There were many international customers, and it felt like another world. It's also great that dogs are allowed. The sandwiches are made with rice flour bread. The balance and taste of the vegetables, avocado, and chicken are also superb. Personally, this is a place I'd like to take my dog on a day off for a little luxury. The food menu also includes burgers and pasta. The price range is a bit high. This time, it was about 4000 yen for two lattes, pancakes, and a sandwich. If you're just using the cafe, it's reasonably priced. The exposed concrete interior with an open ceiling creates an open-air feel, making it easy to enter. It was a delicious meal. iki ESPRESSO (Kiyosumi-shirakawa, Monshita, Hamacho / Cafe) iki ESPRESSO 03-6659-4654 2-2-12 Tokiwa, Koto-ku, Tokyo

I went around 9 am on a holiday morning☀️. Many reviews mentioned long lines on holidays, but there were a few empty seats when I went in the morning, so I was seated right away! However, when I left, there were already about five groups waiting in line!! Orders are placed via QR code on your smartphone, and you can pay with PayPay or card, so you can handle the bill smoothly on a date😎✨. Ricotta Cheese Pancakes ¥1,620 They were fluffy pancakes! They weren't too sweet, so they were perfect with whipped cream‼️ The bananas were caramelized, and they were delicious on their own or with the pancakes🍌. French Toast ¥1,620 Fluffy, melt-in-your-mouth French toast🥓🍞. It had bacon on it, so it seemed like it could be a meal, but it was also a dessert with maple syrup and whipped cream⚪︎. The sweet and savory combo was devoured in no time! Espresso ¥500 The espresso was very easy to drink and delicious☕️. My stomach was happy from the morning✌︎('ω')✌︎. I'll go back to try the other sweets!

I recently waited in line to visit this establishment. The interior has an industrial design, creating a stylish atmosphere. It's a simple yet refined space, and I felt very comfortable. I ordered a cafe latte and a hamburger this time. The cafe latte had a pleasant bitterness and richness, offering a comforting taste. The hamburger was very filling and incredibly satisfying! The juicy patty and fresh vegetables combined to create a highly satisfying dish. The pancakes were also delicious! I left feeling full and wanting to return.

Our plan to go golfing with our dog was ruined by a traffic accident. So, we decided to go somewhere else with our dog. While heading to the dog run near Kasai Rinkai Park, I looked for a dog-friendly cafe on Tabelog, and this place came up. I remembered that it was a favorite of a friend, so we went there. It's a stylish and delicious cafe, absolutely! The food was so good, I was delighted. I invited a dog-owning friend, and she was also surprised at how delicious it was. The cafe allows dogs inside, and the staff were very kind. Also, the iced coffee my friend ordered was apparently so delicious that she bought the coffee container and beans on the spot. I'm glad I introduced her to this place. The cakes looked stylish and delicious too. I'm curious about the carrot cake, lemon cake, and banana pound cake. I don't usually eat sweets, but these caught my eye. They look so good! Next time, I'll just come for tea. Thank you for the meal.
