The selection of mille-feuille cakes is rich and delicious, with fruit mille-feuille and grape mille-feuille especially well-received, offering a sweet taste that isn't overwhelming. The pasta is fragrant, with noodles that are chewy and well-coated in sauce. The flavors of coffee and tea are standard, but the portion sizes of the cakes are generous and the prices are reasonable.
The environment is comfortable and suitable for enjoying afternoon tea. The staff is friendly and adorable, which makes one feel pleasant. The private restrooms are clean, and the overall atmosphere is satisfying.
The service from the staff was excellent and satisfying.
Braces Person Review: Clean Independent Restroom Recommended
During this trip to Japan, to make up for the regrets from my last visit, my friend and I specially lined up to dine at the restaurant as soon as it opened. This place is quite popular and there’s usually a long wait during meal times; in fact, some dishes even sell out early, so arriving early was definitely a wise choice. This time we ordered the following dishes:
Shrimp & Dill Cream Sauce Pasta (¥1210)
This creamy pasta paired with shrimp and dill is simply perfect, with a fragrant aroma. The noodles are chewy and well-coated with sauce, and when paired with the accompanying bread, each bite is rich and satisfying.
Fruits Fruits Mille Crepe (¥2076)
This mille crepe features strawberries, oranges, kiwis, mangoes, and bananas. Each layer of fruit offers a delightful balance of sweet and sour flavors, and the whipped cream is perfectly proportioned, not overwhelming. The fruits are fresh and juicy, making each bite a delightful surprise, especially for fruit lovers.
Shine Muscat Mille Crepe (¥2178)
The natural sweetness of Shine Muscat grapes permeates each layer of crepe, accompanied by light whipped cream, providing a refreshing and not overly sweet experience. The grape aroma and sweetness blend perfectly, making this mille crepe a dream choice for dessert lovers.
Beverages
The coffee latte and English milk tea that accompany the meals, although standard in performance, fit well with the strong contrast between the main dishes and desserts, serving as a nice buffer during the meal.
Overall, the meal cost a total of 5599 yen. The exquisite dishes, paired with a comfortable atmosphere, made the overall experience quite worthwhile. Especially the mille crepe, whether it's the grape or the fruit version, leaves a lasting impression. Next time I come to Japan, this restaurant will definitely be on my must-visit list again!

This place has been all the rage in Taiwan! I made a special effort to visit right when it opened. The popular time slots (from noon to afternoon tea) require queuing, and there's also a chance that the mille crepe flavors you want to try could be sold out, so I decided to come early! As soon as I sat down, I saw the other tables had enormous mille crepes!!! I couldn't resist ordering two, and here's a brief introduction.
▪️Fruits Fruits Mille Crepe ¥2076
▪️Shine Muscat Mille Crepe ¥2178
(Both mille crepes come with a choice of one tea drink)
▫️Café Latte +¥150
▫️English Milk Tea Blend
I ordered the fruit mille crepe I was most interested in and the seasonal Shine Muscat grape flavor (which sounds amazing), and they were really delicious!!! Both were so good, with a perfect balance of sweet and tart from the mixed fruits. There were strawberries, oranges, kiwis, mangoes, bananas, and the whipped cream was just the accompaniment. Although some might say the banana proportion was a bit high (there really was a lot), I didn't think it affected my overall enjoyment!
The grape version was bursting with freshness… the grapes were incredibly sweet!! This version had a bit more whipped cream, and overall, it was a delightful combination of creaminess and grape sweetness. Two people could share one without it becoming too much, leaving you reluctant to finish it 😂 Good thing we ordered it!
I found the coffee and tea drinks quite standard, but I thought the cake was generously sized and delicious. With a drink included at this price, it’s quite worth it!!
▪️Shrimp & Dill, Cream Sauce ¥1210
▫️Comes with bread
Since it was my first meal of the day, I chose a savory dish to steady my stomach. Initially, I thought it might not be very impressive, but it turned out slightly better than expected. The flavor was decent, and the portion was quite large, with a piece of bread included. The sauce for the pasta was quite tasty.
Overall, I highly recommend this place!!! (At the time, I hadn't yet been to the famous Harbs, but after trying it, I love both places, haha.) Although there are many branches, you have to specifically choose the LOVE & TABLE series to get the mille crepes. I didn't get to try the dreamy strawberry mille crepe that many people love, but I thought the grape one was very good too! The environment was comfortable, and the staff that day were adorable (?). After visiting the Meiji Shrine, it's a great spot to walk over to.
