When I had some errands to run in Waseda, I stopped by my favorite miscellaneous goods store, Switch, before heading to Waseda Station on the Tozai Line. On the way, I noticed a cafe that had caught my eye for a while. That cafe was Vegito Coffee. The entrance was narrow, and I felt a bit hesitant to enter, but my husband was with me, and when I mentioned that I was curious about it, he encouraged me to just go for it. So, we decided to check it out.
We drove along the narrow road next to the parking lot and arrived at an open space that felt like a terrace or inside the store. We entered through a doorway that made it seem like the actual store. We were told to choose any seat we liked, so we sat at a table towards the back. There was a sofa seat that caught my eye, but there was already a customer's dog sitting there. It was a miniature schnauzer, I think. The staff said it was okay to sit there, but the dog looked so comfortable and cozy that I decided to sit elsewhere.
Although I had just had a late breakfast at Good Morning Cafe, I decided to order a chiffon cake set because I wanted to try something. The menu seemed to have various items with special attention to ingredients, so it's a good idea to ask the staff if they have what you want on that day. My husband was asking a lot of questions when ordering his iced coffee. Another staff member, who seemed to be in charge of coffee, came over to explain various details. I thought, does my husband usually care this much about coffee? If I had to say, he prefers it on the lighter side. I had already had two cups of coffee in the morning, so this time I opted for a hot cafe au lait.
The chiffon cake arrived. The combination of lemon and cream was refreshing, and I enjoyed it while dipping the cake. It had been a while since I had chiffon cake. I had been eating shortcake and cheesecake a lot recently. I realized how nice it is to have something light like this. It's light, but it's satisfying because it's big (I'm simple...). The cafe latte had a good balance of milk and coffee. The atmosphere of the cafe itself was very nice, with an old folk house style. The mismatched tables and chairs looked random, but upon closer inspection, you could see that some of them were the same type. Some looked like school desks, right? It was fun to look around and imagine. The ventilation seemed good, with windows open due to COVID. It wasn't too cold, which was nice because I tend to get stomachaches when it's too cold. There were fans placed around, so it wasn't hot. It felt like my grandma's house during summer vacation.
The dog that was sleeping woke up, so I went to play with it. It was very friendly and not afraid of people at all. I mentioned to the staff that even with the door open, it didn't run away, and they said that when it was younger, it had escaped a few times. My 1.5-year-old dog at home would definitely dash out if given the chance. I'd like to try their curry and other food items next time. I found a really nice cafe. I definitely want to visit again next time I'm in Waseda. Thank you for the meal.
