About this place
At Kito cafe, the strawberry shortcake is an immediate draw. Visitors have praised its classic appearance, restrained sweetness and generous size. It makes a fitting dessert after lunch, or a treat for a break centred on cake and coffee. The menu also features caramelised apple tart, rich gateau au chocolat and caramel cheesecake. Some customers return for cakes made with seasonal fruit, and choosing from the display is part of the pleasure.
For lunch, the Turkish-style spiced hamburg steak stands out. The menu lists it with cucumber yoghurt sauce, mini soup and salad. One diner who chose it for lunch praised the balanced meal of kefta with rice and vegetables. Other choices include taco rice, a bacon, lettuce and tomato sandwich, and a Reuben with pastrami beef, sauerkraut and Gouda. For those keen to have both lunch and cake, one visitor’s choice of a smaller cake as part of a set may be a useful example.
Drinks include coffee and tea, as well as herbal tea and chai. The seasonal herbal tea blend changes, so you can ask what is available before choosing. A cup of chai, made with a custom blend of spices, also makes a relaxing companion to cake after a meal.
The cafe is on the 2 floor in Isshincho, and visitors have noted that the stairs are steep. As it is a dine-in cafe, bear this in mind if stairs may be a concern. It is open Monday to Saturday from 11:30 to 17:00, and closed on Sundays.
