Mijinco Coffee

My wife and I came here for mid afternoon snack/drink when wandering through the streets of Tokyo and we were happy we did. We waited in line for 5-10 mins at 2pm before being seated. The staff was very friendly and helpful, as we do not know Japanese and were using a translator to look at the menu. One thing to note before going is that each person must order at least one drink with their order. We ordered the peach and cardamom mojito, original blend no.1 mild coffee, pancakes and tier 1 pudding. The coffee held true to its name and wasn’t too bitter or acidic, I would recommend this if you don’t like the coffee overly strong. The peach cardamom drink was very refreshing with chunks of peaches. Between the pudding and the pancakes, I liked the pudding slightly more, but both were yummy. The pudding has a syrupy coffee that you pour over the top that adds an extra punch of flavor. The pudding was actually quite thick as well so you need to put a bit of effort into cutting it with a spoon, which I liked. The pancake was soft, buttery and spongy and absorbed the syrup almost immediately. Another thing to note is that the pancakes will take 20 mins to come out, but we had no issue with that. The only reason I am giving a 4/5 is the fact that you are forced into ordering a drink.

It’s my 5th time coming here. It’s one of my favorite cafes in Tokyo. We miss the French toast!!!! We had the hotcake (pancake) and hot sandwiches instead.

I came here for the french toast, I did not expect it to be a coffee shop.
French toast with mascarpone was very good. But the soy latte was the real highlight. So much better than in many other places.
Be noted, that on the weekdays the french toast and the pancakes are served only after 2 PM. And also one drink is required.
