2 lovely ladies running this sweet nostalgic cafe. They recommended the set so we saved some money, ala carte orders cost slightly more. Just top up some ¥ to make it a set. Highly recommended for the food, service and ambience!

A wonderful local coffee shop. The owner is very friendly and they have an English menu if you need one. Prices are very reasonable and the food and coffee are delicious. Go for breakfast and get the egg sandwich with cheesecake. You won’t be disappointed.

SO GOOD! We took a wrong turn and did a random search for a cafe nearby that popped up Cafe Katsura; I’m so glad we stumbled upon it because this was a great breakfast. Eggs were so good, ham salty and delicious, and the toast was heaven. The cafe’s atmosphere is homey and cute. Loved all the wood paneling and books, as well as their selection of vintage dishes. So so cute. Service was great; lovely, inviting, and attentive. Everything 10/10. I hope to go again!

Cute little cafe serving lovely breakfast. Really recommend the thick toast set breakfast, the toast was fluffy with a crunchy, buttery and slightly salty top. So good!
