Cafe1001

After lunch I stopped by a cute cafe that is also near my home but had never stopped to visit before. I was again pleasantly surprised. It’s called Cafe 1001, and seems to specialize in chocolate mint cakes and drinks (perhaps the menu is seasonal?). I ordered the mint chocolate cheesecake and the chocolate-marshmallow mint milk. I love choco-mint anything and these didn’t disappoint. Cake was soft and rich while the mint milk was hot, creamy (frothy?), and a little spicy. The chocolate marshmallows were a nice touch. Overall, I really liked this place, but the service was not great. I was the only customer the whole time I was there, and it felt like the master would have rather been doing something else. Not so welcoming at first.

Fabulous chocolate-mint cafe with a parfait, cheesecake, and hot and iced drinks with the theme. It is in a cozy machiya and the service was friendly and fast. I loved the rules on reducing noise level of talking because it made the visit very comfortable and peaceful.

For a great rainy day tour break! Had coffee and some excellent parfaits. The decor is traditional Japanese coffeeshop, mixed with a bookstore.
