A personal blog detailing dining and eating experiences
Kept coming back to this coffee place on the 2nd floor outside Shibuya Scramble square mall.
Got the dark roast caffe latte (as is). Would keep getting it again.

Went to this cafe after dinner for desert in Ginza. Definitely a great choice.
Got their home made strawberry cheese cake. Wish I had more! Also paired it with a Yamazaki on the rocks.

Came here for lunch at Shibuya (while visiting Miyashita Park for shopping).
Overall got attracted to the Japanese cafe style of the place, although they did serve some other cuisines like Korean.
Got the black beef Japanese sukiyaki udon, which also came with tuna. Even though not the biggest fan of udon, this was great. Also got a side of fried shrimp and cream scallop croquet. Shrimp was good, but would skip the scallop part (didn’t expect the cream to be too creamy).
And of course paired everything with a highball.
So yea, giving a thumbs up to this place.
This is a restaurant in the resort I stayed at in Okinawa, called the ANA InterContinental Manza Beach Resort.
It’s by the pool of the resort, which provides a nice open air and sunlight.
Ordered Jameson on the rocks, a cafe latte, and a spam musubi. The musubi was 4x larger than I expected. But it was great, and just what I want. Also latte was
Update on 4/19 – got their loco moco for lunch another day, and also have to say it was pretty good.
This coffee place has multiple location in Waikiki, but went to the one that is at the “Kai Coffee Hawaii at Alohilani Resort”.
Got the Kai latte (it’s basically macadamia flavored latte). Thought it was good, but next time I should try their plain latte to see what that tastes like.
Had a friend try egg tarts (aka Pasteis de Nata) in Portugal for the first time at this place. Overall it tastes great, and paired it with a port wine.
As a side note, although it’s not Pasteis de Belem (the original egg tart in Lisbon), it was very comparable.
Also an FYI this is a chain, so would have to look up the location of the pictures for the exact one.
Had this almost every day when working remotely in New York at the lower east side. Great lattes (almost like blue bottle, so sweet and not bitter like other coffees).
I also did get the breakfast sandwich/wrap (bacon, egg). It was ok, but won’t say it was my favorite didn’t get it again out of the 6 times I went… so).
But yea, would come back (obviously since I went there 6 times).
2nd time I’ve been here, and always doesn’t disappoint with the sunset and vibe. Music is chill, people here are chill, and drinks are great.
Went here mainly for the sunset, but also got a Pina colada and a mojito. The Pina colada was great, but I would say the mojito could have been better.
We went to a Starbucks in one of the really older parts of the Gion district called Masuyacho. This Starbucks is not only in a really old “house”, but you get to sit on the floor while eating / drinking (aka eating Japanese style).
I ordered a mocha, and a sausage and egg breakfast sandwich. The interesting thing about this one is that it also had ketchup in it (the Japanese love their ketchup).
We grabbed a latte at this place on our 3rd day in Brussels. They were pretty legit. They asked if I wanted strong or medium strength for the latte, and it was pretty good. I would come back here again.
