Bicerin Shinjuku Takashimaya Review Summary

Bicerin is an excellent place to have a break from shopping in the Shinjuku area. The staff is extremely friendly and welcoming. The Bicerin chocolate drink reminded me of the hot chocolate I have had in Paris. It is very rich but very satisfying. We did not try the food, but the tea and coffee here are top-notch.

We accidentally found this cafe when we visited Takashimaya department store. The atmosphere inside this cafe is very calm, and all the customers are talking quietly. Coffees are expensive, however you’ll be very relaxed here when you are tired after long hours shopping in Shinjuku.

Omelette was nothing special. It was ok, I expected something better for the price. The bicerin is a nice high quality drink if you like chocolate.

Excellent authentic Torino Pasta dishes like I've never tasted in Japan. The pasta of the day was lemon, swordfish, black olives — an exquisite seafood pasta that balances lightness and complex umami-richness. The Godfather Pasta is a meatball and meatsauce feast with flat noodles with an herbal accent that seems like caraway, which cuts any heaviness.
The original Caffe al Bicerin has a history spanning nearly three centuries. Established in Torino (Turin) in northern Italy in 1763, it is particularly famous for its namesake, Bicerin, a desert of chocolate and other delicious ingredients.

The environment is very comfortable and elegant. The staff are so friendly and helpful. Food is excellent. The desert is bravo. The Bicerin tastes soooo good! The cold foam and the warm chocolate have an indescribable chemistry, you gotta try. The overall dining experience is so good.
