Smoking is allowed except for strong-smelling tobacco! I ordered the Genovese risotto, pudding, and vanilla latte set. The food came out relatively quickly, even though I think the owner was running the shop alone. The risotto was incredibly delicious... The pudding and drink were also amazing! All of this came to around 1250 yen. I am extremely satisfied! I will definitely come back here when I visit Kichijoji.

I was looking for a cafe where I could smoke in Kichijoji, and I came across this shop. When I went down the stairs, there were some rules written, but I appreciated how much care they put into running the shop. They asked to refrain from smoking strong-smelling cigarettes, but my Gauloises were fine. The coffee and cake were delicious, and I felt very relaxed. The cheesecake was divine. I definitely want to come back. Thank you.

In my lifetime, this cafe meal is by far the best I've ever had. Everything from start to finish is delicious. The cafe can be a bit intimidating for some, as only up to 2 people are allowed in at a time and children are not allowed. However, the master inside is quiet but calm, and not scary at all. He works diligently and the interior of the cafe is not fancy, but that doesn't bother me. It's a one-man operation, so sometimes there are unwashed dishes on the counter and it may feel a bit cluttered. Smoking is allowed, so if cigarette smoke bothers you, this may not be the place for you. But the pasta, cheesecake, and tea glace (soft serve on top of iced tea) are amazing! The full set with pasta, drink, and half a cake is 1250 yen, but you can add another cake for 1500 yen. The pasta is cafe-level delicious, and the cheesecake is truly a delight. You can choose from New York cheesecake, chocolate cheesecake, and cheesecake pudding, but I recommend New York cheesecake and cheesecake pudding. The tea glace is a large soft serve on top of iced tea. The value for money is incredible. The attention to detail is evident in the ice cubes in the iced tea, which are cracked by hand. The master's dedication is felt throughout. The tea has a wonderful aroma. I can't drink coffee, but I've heard the espresso here is top-notch. A couple next to me today was raving about it. I used to frequent this place when I lived in Kichijoji, but it's been a while since I last visited. The style and taste have remained unchanged over the years, and I admire that. As I've grown older, I've come to appreciate this place even more, as it's not just a trendy cafe. I'll definitely be back. One thing that piqued my curiosity: Yano Akiko's music is always playing here. I wonder if the master is a fan.

Seina Cafe in Kichijoji offers a unique dining experience with their signature dish, the Consara pasta with cheese tomato sauce and a leaf salad topped with Parmigiano Reggiano. The cafe also serves a Conpana, which is espresso with whipped cream. The cafe prominently displays a large photo of Seina, who is likely the granddaughter of the owner. It is worth noting that smoking is allowed in the cafe, attracting heavy smokers like Kyoto-chan during the evening hours.

New York cheesecake made with sour cream is rich and flavorful. The sour cream adds a refreshing touch, making it not too heavy. It's simple and delicious, you won't get tired of it. The cheesecake is slightly moist and fluffy. It comes with a blueberry sauce that is sweet and sour, which pairs well with the cheesecake.

First of all, the shop has its own rules, and as you go down the stairs, you can see signs that increase the tension. The master is a middle-aged man wearing a sweater. At first, I thought he might be intimidating, but he turned out to be quite normal. They have rules like no groups of 3 or more, please speak quietly, and it's quiet and good but smoking is allowed, so it might be tough for people who don't like smoke. Also, the master seems to have a sweet tooth. The cheesecake is quite sweet. So, it might be a bit tough for those who don't like things too sweet.

A precious espresso specialty shop where smoking is allowed. I was very satisfied with the delicious lunch. This time, I had Seina's plate and a cappuccino. The cooking took some time, and I waited for about 15 minutes. The plate included focaccia with Japanese sausage, salad, and blood orange juice. The focaccia sandwich was warm and the crispy sausage was amazingly delicious. The chewy texture was good, and even though it was quite thick, I quickly finished it. After finishing, a cappuccino with plenty of cinnamon was served. The milk foam was sweet, the cinnamon aroma was nice, and I was completely full. It's a small underground shop with a small sign that is a bit off the main street, but it's always crowded and popular. I will visit again when I go to Kichijoji. Thank you for the meal.

After watching a documentary film about the founding of the African American jazz label Blue Note, I visited this café. I ordered an Espresso Glacé, a specialty café dessert here. I was actually on a mini fast, so I felt a bit "oops" when a large serving of soft serve ice cream was brought to my table, but it was too late to do anything about it. While reading the film's pamphlet, I enjoyed the soft serve ice cream to the last bite. I savored the perfect harmony of jazz, cigarettes, and café desserts, taking a brief respite.

On this day, after watching a biographical film about John Coltrane, I had some time to spare before my next appointment. I chose the Compagna Fred Bailey's from the extensive selection of sweet coffee drinks at this cafe. Just like last time, the master silently brought me a decanter of water. Among the many cafes in the bustling town of Kichijoji, this place stands out. Once again, I left feeling very satisfied.

Hanasegawa Kotaka is the third member of the Neighbor's Club, following Misogi Kumiko and Mikazuki Yozora. She is a second-year student in Class 3 of Seikronika Academy High School and the only daughter of the school's director, Tenma Kashiwazaki. She is a beautiful girl with blonde hair and blue eyes, excelling in academics and sports, and also has a large bust. Despite her arrogance due to being constantly popular with boys, she has a more down-to-earth side as she enjoys playing gal games and eroge. She is voiced by Kanae Ito. The review is about Seinacafe, a cafe located near the north exit of Kichijoji. The cafe is open until midnight, making it a convenient option for those who work late. The entrance of the cafe is adorned with monochrome photos of a young girl, which may catch the attention of Hanasegawa. The cafe is located underground, and there are signs warning customers to use their laptops quietly and be mindful of their voices. Despite the initial impression of the cafe being a bit unusual, the reviewer found it to be a relaxing place to visit. The interior of the cafe is long and narrow, with the same photos of the young girl displayed on one wall. The menu includes pasta dishes and various cheesecakes for dessert. The reviewer opted for the New York cheesecake, which was dense and rich in flavor, accompanied by a refreshing blueberry sauce. They also tried the cream cheese pudding, a limited item that resembled the New York cheesecake but had a creamier texture with a strong cream cheese flavor. For drinks, they chose a hazelnut cappuccino, which had a light and fluffy texture with a nutty flavor. Overall, Seinacafe is a unique cafe in Kichijoji that offers a cozy atmosphere for solo customers to spend their evenings in contemplation.

This time, I used the restaurant for a short time to adjust to the movie schedule. As usual, there were many female customers. The air was clean as always. The entrance door was open, but the indoor air was constantly circulating, making it ideal for smoke and infection prevention. Maybe that's why it's popular with women. The fact that the master remembered me and silently placed a decanter of cold water on the table before I even asked for a refill also increased my favorability. I will definitely come back.

On this day, I had some free time in Kichijoji due to scheduling conflicts with other plans. I usually don't carry cigarettes, but I had prepared some in advance and went to this shop. It was lunchtime, and the tables were filled with middle-aged and elderly women looking for lunch. I didn't want a full lunch, so I chose a menu item that was an espresso but also had a good amount of sweets, as shown in the photo. It had a nice balance of sweetness and a strong espresso flavor, which I liked. When I asked for more water, it was served in a decanter, which left a good impression.

At 3 o'clock, I had a snack, which of course was a reliable cheesecake. This shop is located near Kichijoji Station, and since it is underground, you can relax quite comfortably. Even in this day and age, you can still smoke inside the shop, but I have already quit smoking so it doesn't bother me.

I visited this place for the first time looking for a place where I can smoke. From the photos online, it seemed a bit messy, but in reality, the interior was very calm and well-maintained, like a bar. Even though I was alone, the master suggested that I could sit at a table instead of just the counter, which was a nice touch. It seems like a great place to relax and take it easy.

I went to a cafe to study a bit. The entrance had a slightly suspicious sign with photos of other people, and you had to go down the stairs to the underground area. It might feel a bit intimidating for a woman to enter alone. However, I want to clarify that the cafe itself was actually very nice! All seats allow smoking, so it may not be suitable for those who dislike it. [Atmosphere] The underground setting without windows gives a retro bar and cafe vibe. The music is quiet, making it suitable for studying. Personally, I found the calming atmosphere quite enjoyable. [Food, Drinks] Since I had already eaten, I only had coffee. The cafe seems to favor espresso, with the menu starting with HOT cappuccino, followed by espresso, then ICE and TEA, and drip coffee towards the end. I ordered a cappuccino with maple sugar sprinkled on top. It was not exceptional, but it was delicious. The foam milk was generous, almost like a mountain. They offer meal sets, drink sets, and drink + cake sets (full set) at around 1,000 yen, which is quite affordable. The food also has a good reputation, and I regret not trying it. [Revisit] I would like to visit again. Next time, I want to try the food and cakes as well. I also want to try different drinks.

I had lunch at a café in B1, right near Kichijoji Station. I ordered the full set for 1110 yen, which included pasta, a drink, and a choice of three types of cheesecake. I chose the Seina original pasta with tomato cream sauce and a leaf salad on top. The cheese at the bottom is melted, so make sure to mix it well with the tomato sauce. The salad on top is generous and comes with a choice of five dressings. I chose basil tomato dressing. For my drink, I had tea glace with soft serve ice cream on top. I also had chocolate cheesecake. This is a unique and delicious lunch that you can only find here, and it's a great deal.

I visited the restaurant alone on a Sunday afternoon. I had been curious about it for a while, but never had the chance to go until now. When I went down the stairs, there was a sign at the entrance saying that they could not accommodate groups of three or more, so I was a bit worried about it being crowded. Inside, there were three couples and two individuals, so it was quite busy. The master, who seemed to be the owner, with long hair, was working alone and seemed quite busy. After waiting for about 5 minutes, he apologized for the wait. I didn't realize they had recommendations on the menu, so I ended up ordering the risotto, which was also delicious. I ordered a drink and a half-size cake set for 1090 yen. The drink was a latte and the cake was a NY cheesecake, both of which were delicious. I was a bit concerned about the smoking, but the atmosphere of the restaurant and the owner's personality were great. I would like to visit again and try the recommended dish next time!

I was recommended by my former hairdresser. It's such a hidden gem and absolutely amazing. I could relax without being disturbed by the conversations from the next table. The cream cheese pudding was incredibly delicious!

I wanted to try the curry but they didn't have it today. The risotto and the pudding were delicious.
