01 / ABOUT THE PLACE
About this place
A dedicated stand arrives at the table, neatly arranged with dishes and sweets decorated with charming cat motifs. At Tokidoki Cafe in Kami-Itabashi, the afternoon tea draws people in with its carefully crafted details, playful presentation and satisfying flavours.
Playful savouries and carefully made baked treats
Among the savoury items are the cat-shaped “nyanko burger” with egg and bacon, mushroom quiche, savoury choux pastry filled with teriyaki chicken and mayonnaise, and beef braised in red wine. Colourful salad and delicate sweets round out the stand, making it as filling as it is eye-catching. There is plenty to eat, and reviewers have appreciated the thoughtful touch of having takeaway baked goods individually wrapped.
A varied drinks menu layered with aroma
There is also a varied selection of teas to accompany the meal. Tokidoki Cafe’s homemade brown sugar ginger chai is gently spiced, with ginger and brown sugar simmered slowly alongside cinnamon sticks, star anise, cardamom and cloves. Other choices include caffeine-free royal milk tea, flavoured rooibos tea and the cafe’s own roasted blend coffee, offering plenty to pair with savoury bites or sweets.
In a space that delights cat lovers, guests can take their time over tea and sweets with warm service. For a special afternoon, consider one of the reservation-based events or the baked goods available at the shop.
