This day I went to the mall with my children. I love the Nicopan on the 1st floor of the mall in Fukuoka. The prices are reasonable and the dessert menu is cute and delicious. They open at 10 am, which is convenient. It's not crowded on weekday mornings, so you can enjoy some alone time. They occasionally have collaboration menus, which makes me want to come back. The staff is polite and provides good service. It's a nice place for families with children. The Vanilla Smoothie for 550 yen is a favorite among kids. It's made with a whole Meiji Super Cup ice cream, which kids love. The smoothie is refreshing with small ice chunks, perfect for hot days. The Coffee Smoothie for 550 yen is also good. It has a refreshing aftertaste and a generous portion. It has different layers of flavors - cream, ice cream, coffee, and frozen. When mixed, it has a sweet coffee flavor that kids would enjoy.

Heading towards conquering the Niko Pan series. Today, I had Niko Pan Yakisoba for 330 yen and an Iced Cafe Latte for 440 yen. The Yakisoba is always a safe choice. It has a good volume and feels like a good deal. I'm thinking of getting some for my kids who love Yakisoba bread next time we take out.

I tried a collaboration menu featuring Kellogg's Corn Flakes that I used to eat a lot as a child. It wasn't enough, so I also ordered a Nico Pan hot dog (plain) for 640 yen and a drink set for 200 yen. Since I enjoyed the Nico Pan series last time, I decided to try the hot dog this time. It was huge, with a long sausage in a thick bun. It was delicious. I also ordered the collaboration menu item, the Corn Frosty waffle bar (chocolate) for 400 yen. It took about 6 minutes to prepare, but I didn't mind waiting. It was served in a cute paper bag, which would make a great gift. The waffle was easy to eat and had a great orange and chocolate flavor combination. I would love to try the berry flavor next time. The collaboration project is great.

I was curious about a place called Doughnut Smoothie, so I decided to visit. Once again, I went on a weekday morning and the place was empty at first. Two more groups of customers arrived later on, but I still enjoyed a relaxing time by myself. I received a buzzer and chose a seat. This time, I sat at a low table with a bench against the wall. When my buzzer went off after 5-6 minutes, I was surprised by the size of the items - the Nico Pan and the Doughnut Smoothie were both huge and cute. The Doughnut was fluffy and delicious, while the Smoothie had a nice balance of sweet and sour flavors. The Nico Pan was also surprisingly large and affordable. It had a fluffy texture and generous filling. I really liked it and want to try all the Nico Pan flavors next time. The menu offers both sweet and savory options, so it's great for different moods. I found the Nico Pan a bit tricky to eat because of its size, but it was worth it. I'm looking forward to my next visit to try more items on the menu.

At Lalaport, it was cafe time and my companion wanted a latte while I felt a bit peckish so I ordered a hot sandwich. For some reason, the Americano set didn't come with potato salad anymore, so I ended up ordering it separately. The hot sandwich was decent, but the Americano was just okay. The place had a trendy atmosphere, but it was important to secure a spot to relax. We settled at the large central table since there weren't many customers, allowing us to leisurely enjoy our time there.笑

Café located in Lala Port Fukuoka. The café is attached to the store. I visited on a holiday, so the restaurants in Lala Port were crowded with long lines, but surprisingly, I was able to enter this café smoothly. It's a hidden gem! The menu includes hot dogs and sandwiches... When you order a set, it comes with a drink and a small salad. There were many drink options available. The coffee was hot and delicious. The interior of the café is cozy and relaxing. There are various types of tables and chairs to choose from, which was fun. Thank you for the meal! ♡

I had some time to myself for the first time in a while, so I arrived at the mall just after it opened at 10 am and headed straight to "niko and...COFFEE". I ordered the Citrus and Tea Waffle for 850 yen. The waffle was delicious with a refreshing citrus and orange flavor. It came with whipped cream and vanilla ice cream, which was a nice touch. I also ordered an Iced Cafe Latte for 390 yen. It's a good idea to order a set to save a little money. The cup has a cute logo, so it's nice to take it to go and enjoy it outside. The cup is large, so it's great for sipping on a hot day. The atmosphere inside the cafe is calming, making it a great place to enjoy some alone time.

■ Overall, Lala Port Fukuoka has two main entrances - one from the Gundam side on Chikushi Street, and the other through a small hall from Takeshita Station. The cafe on the 1st floor of the hall is known for its sandwiches made with coppe bread. I have only used the cafe, but it's great that they offer free water, unlimited Wi-Fi, and you can leisurely look around the hall. ■ Ice Cafe Latte Due to the recent trend of not using plastic straws, they use paper straws here. Personally, I'm not a big fan because it changes the taste. So, I drank the cafe latte ice using the Starbucks method of drinking directly from the lid opening. They use paper straws, but they also use lids with a wide area, which I don't quite understand the reason for. Will this change too in the future? By the way, the cafe latte had a strong coffee flavor and was delicious. Thank you for the meal.

Visited "niko and...COFFEE" at lalaport Fukuoka. Tried the UNI9UE SAND set for 1180 yen (Duck and Avocado Hot Sandwich). The unique sandwich features fragrant smoked duck meat and beauty-enhancing avocado, sandwiched together with a refreshing lemon oil flavor and rich cheese taste. There are four unique sandwich options available, including Garlic Shrimp, Bacon & Cheese, and Curry Egg. I want to try them all. For my drink, I chose hot tea from the selection of coffee, tea, and juice. The hot sandwich was quite filling with the cheese stretching out. It came with mashed potatoes and a dessert mousse as well. The spacious and cute stylish interior, along with a variety of sweets and drinks, is great. They open at 10 am, making it a good spot for morning activities. They also have a variety of Niko Pan (bread rolls), which I would like to try next time.

Introducing niko and...coffee LaLaport Fukuoka, which opened on April 25, 2022 in Hakata-ku, Fukuoka City, Fukuoka Prefecture. They offer a variety of delicious sandwich menu options, along with tasty lattes for a blissful break time.

Chocolat Latte for 471 yen. Bitter but delicious... but is this really chocolate? It had a very unique taste. It was like caramel... not caramel, but something similar. Different from the usual chocolate.

This is a cafe located in Canal City Hakata. It is a stylish cafe where you can relax. They have a wide variety of drinks. I had a cafe latte flavored smoothie. It was a bit light in flavor.
