miki's cafe

Choose a cookie to pair with vanilla-bean ice cream and espresso in an affogato. At miki's cafe, cookies are at the heart of the menu, whether you want to make something sweet the main event or find a treat to go with your coffee. The Rich Butter cookie is made with New Zealand grass-fed butter; the menu describes its buttery flavour and sweet-salty taste. You can also have it sandwiched with vanilla-bean ice cream. For a coffee-time treat, take your pick between something to nibble on and a more dessert-like option.

Hand-drip coffee costs 550 yen and is recommended for those who are not keen on acidity. The cafe also serves hot and iced lattes, with soy and oat milk options. Visitors have mentioned enjoying a latte with a cookie, as well as pairing iced coffee with avocado toast.

For a more substantial meal, consider the onigiri plate (1,100 yen), which comes with 2 rice balls, small side dishes, a mini salad and miso soup. The cafe mills and cooks its farm-direct branded brown rice on site. The bread plate costs 1,200 yen and includes 2 eggs, cooked as scrambled eggs or a fried egg, along with uncured bacon, a mini salad and toast. The avocado open sandwich is another brunch option; one diner described its flavour as light.

Carrot cake is another tempting choice after a meal or for an afternoon treat. The cafe says it uses cinnamon ground on site, tops the cake with cream cheese and serves it with honey for dine-in orders. Tea and caffeine-free drinks are also available, and dogs are welcome on the terrace. Whether you're after breakfast, coffee or something sweet, there are options for different moods and moments.
