So my friend (the one from my first caffeinated adventure) and I decided to head to her local cafe after work since we both finished early and at the same time. We got on the train and went all the way out there only to discover that they were closed! We were pretty disappointed, but we weren't about to give up. So we got on the train and headed to the nearest train hub, Ikebukuro. Surely there would be a good cafe somewhere around there, right?
So we did a little Google searching and eventually found Cafe Pause. It's on a bit of a back road so it took us a little work to find it but we eventually did. We had to wait a few minutes to get seated because they were pretty full but it was just a few minutes. We ended up at the counter facing the street which meant we got to people watch too.
My friend and I ended up ordering toast and coffee. My friend got plain buttered toast and I got ham and cheese toast. We both ended up getting two cups of the house blend in the end. The coffee was pretty good. Not the best but definitely better than a few places I've been. Obviously it must have been okay since we both ended up with seconds. As for the toast, it really is a hard dish to mess up.
The place was pretty nice. Quiet and comfortable. They also had free wifi and that's always appreciated. The staff was like most are in these places. Polite but not particularly warm. I wouldn't be excited about going back but I wouldn't be opposed to it either.
Order: House Blend Coffee - 2 cups (¥400ea) and Ham & Cheese Toast (¥350)
Review: I'd recommend it to someone who wants a place to do some email checking and whatnot.
