In terms of food, sandwiches and burgers are suitable for brunch, and the sandwiches are crisp and delicious. The large fish ball double fresh egg burger is not highly recommended, as the fried dumplings have a crispy outer layer but a strong pork smell in the filling. The milk tea is average.
The environment is lovely, with a strong Japanese ambiance, perfect for enjoying leisurely moments, making one feel as if they are in Japan.
In terms of service, there are not many customers during the day, and there are no time restrictions, which creates a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere, making it suitable for casual dining after a leisurely stroll.

"tokyobike Cafe" is a coffee shop that combines a bicycle store. This is my second visit, and they mainly sell sandwiches and burgers, which I think are perfect for brunch.
The bicycles sold here are of high quality, but I checked online and they are indeed not cheap, haha. The shop also sells some bicycle-related accessories and curated items.
The whole shop is very cute, and the dining area has a Japanese ambiance. When I came for a meal today, I even saw a very Japanese-style grandmother who ordered a pot of hot tea by herself and quietly read a book. For a moment, I thought I had arrived in Japan~~~
Dafu Fish Ball and Double Fresh Egg Burger $120
Last time, I had a sandwich which I thought was very well toasted and delicious. I originally wanted to have another sandwich this time, but when I saw this dish, I found it interesting—it said it had fish balls and fried squid paste. In the end, I was intrigued, but when it was served, I felt a bit regretful because fish balls really do not belong in a burger. It’s not that it’s not tasty, but with one bite, it’s all gone. I’d rather have something with substance in every bite~~~ The fried squid paste is something like fried fish paste, and the sauce pairs well, tasting somewhat like mayonnaise.
But overall, I recommend that everyone should still try the sandwiches here; they are classic and delicious!
Many Dumplings Crispy Fried Dumplings $110
I’ve always liked fried dumplings, and seeing this item paired with Thai sweet and sour sauce, I had to order it! But after eating it, I wasn’t a big fan. The dumplings were pork-flavored, and although the outer skin was indeed crispy and tasty, the pork flavor was quite strong... Even with the sauce, the flavor didn't really dissipate, and I felt the dumplings didn’t pair well with the sauce. This dish can be skipped.
Fresh Milk Tea $100
I ordered it hot; the portion is okay, not too small. It tastes like standard milk tea—nothing spectacular.
(I remember the sesame milk tea I ordered last time being quite good!)
🏠Environment
It's a very cute place, with Japanese-style architecture, many bicycle-related furnishings, and the plants outside are also very beautiful. There are not many seats, about a dozen. It is not fully booked during the day on weekdays. There seems to be no time limit, and there are no sockets.
🥪Food
I ordered the bacon, sun-egg and peanut butter burger with the QQ ball set (french fries and sweet potato balls) 🍔 The QQ balls are quite delicious, the fries are crisp enough, and the sweet potato balls are rich in flavor. Although the burger is not amazing overall, when I bite it The soft-boiled eggs burst open and the yolk spurts out directly. Please be careful when eating (I like it a lot) 🍳
✏️Conclusion
It's a very comfortable environment, suitable for 1-2 people. You won't come here specially, but you can go nearby! And there are some places to shop nearby~
