A bakery-style dining experience with my child for lunch, enjoying some pancakes. The pancakes took over 20 minutes to arrive, but when they did, they were fluffy and light, topped with a generous amount of whipped cream. Indulging in these sweets made me feel happy. I ordered the pasta set for 1,980 yen, which came with freshly baked bread and a variety of other items. The pasta featured fresh bamboo shoots, giving it a seasonal touch. Although I couldn't taste the karasumi flavor from the chili pepper, I enjoyed the thick bamboo shoots. A hidden gem was the lunch special of 60-minute free-flow sparkling wine for only 700 yen, a great deal. The place was crowded, with a line forming before opening time, so reservations are recommended. I managed to get in at 10:50 and enjoyed a great meal. #TokyoGourmet #TokyoSweets #TokyoPancake #IkebukuroGourmet #IkebukuroLunch #IkebukuroSweets #IkebukuroBread #IkebukuroPancake #SparklingWineFreeFlow #FoodiesUnite #SweetsLovers #EspressoDWorks.

This is a shop located about an 8-minute walk from the station. We made a reservation for 2 people at 11:30 and arrived at the shop. It was already full about 30 minutes after opening. It seems that reservations can only be made for the special lunch, so those who want to enjoy the regular lunch should line up early. In addition to lunch, we also received bread service about 3 times, and enjoyed a total of 5 different types of bread.

The special lunch course for 2800 yen includes truffle omelette, steak, and all-you-can-eat bread. The lunch course for 2000 yen? The cheesecake is 900 yen. Two cafe lattes cost 440 yen. The food and bread were incredibly delicious as always! Especially the walnut bread and yuzu bread are super tasty! The prices are a bit high, though.

A wheat-themed cafe located about a 10-minute walk from Ikebukuro Station East Exit. I visited with a friend on a weekday evening after making a reservation. The interior had a calming wood tone with spacious seating, making it a comfortable place for a girls' night out. We enjoyed the all-you-can-eat bread with whipped butter and honey, along with Caesar salad, beef sirloin steak, lemonade, and homemade ginger ale. The drinks were unique and visually appealing, especially the ginger ale with whole ginger pieces. We wanted to order more dishes, but we were too full from the delicious bread. They also offered milk pudding and bread for takeout, so I would like to come back again in the future.

Visited the restaurant for lunch with a friend. There was a long line outside on a Sunday, but we had made a reservation so we were seated quickly. I recommend making a reservation if you plan to visit on weekends. We ordered the lunch course, which came with a free drink and we added a dessert. They served a variety of bread, which was a nice touch. The whipped butter that came with the bread was delicious. The truffle omelette was especially tasty! The course was very filling and by the end, we were so full that it was almost uncomfortable. Overall, we were extremely satisfied.

I arrived a little before the store opened, so I was able to enter smoothly. The staff were all friendly and the atmosphere was good. The food was also very delicious, and I had a happy time! The bread was so delicious that I bought some to take home on my way out.

I had a special weekday lunch with my friends. Various types of bread were brought to the table, which made me happy as I love bread. I was a bit worried because the meal only came with one drink, but I was relieved to see that there was self-service water and detox water available. The salad and steak were decent portions, but the main dish, the truffle omelette, was larger than expected and left me feeling very satisfied. The dessert platter for the birthday celebration was beautifully made and became a memorable moment. Thank you very much!

I couldn't find many available restaurants nearby during the weekend, so I made a reservation for a course meal. The atmosphere of the restaurant was nice, and the course dishes came out quickly, which was great! The omelette and steak were delicious! The portion size was just right and I left feeling satisfied. If you're still hungry, they offer all-you-can-eat bread with tasty whipped butter! The tea was also delicious! The only downside was that I felt the course was a bit expensive at 2800 yen per person (dessert not included).

I went to my favorite shop ESPRESSO D WORKS in Ikebukuro! Just like last time, the staff were bright and cheerful, making me feel good even before the food arrived! This time, I ordered the Very Very Pancake (1380 yen) and Cold Brew (580 yen)! It came out in about 10 minutes. The bright red strawberry sauce and pure white whipped cream made it look delicious even before I started eating! Inside the generous amount of whipped cream was a hidden scoop of vanilla ice cream! The balance of strawberry sauce, whipped cream, and pancake was perfect, making it a delight for those with a sweet tooth! I definitely want to come back again!!

I made a reservation for seats only on a weekend night and visited the restaurant. I ordered the famous truffle omelette and all-you-can-eat bread. Everything was delicious ✨ The bread was freshly baked and fluffy. The first bread they brought out was accompanied by butter, which had a generous amount of butter and was luxurious. It was so delicious that I ended up eating all 8 varieties of bread.

In August, they have limited edition mango pancakes and tiramisu with a one-person, one-drink rule. The latte art latte is delicious with a generous amount. The tiramisu is topped with GODIVA chocolate by the staff right in front of you, and it's delicious. The mango pancakes are filled with plenty of fruit and even have ice cream inside. Water is self-serve and comes with tasty dried fruits in it. Enjoy!

The bread is delicious. The omelette has originality and the truffle and demi-glace sauce are exquisite. It's a popular menu item. The meat is also delicious. I added wasabi. The pasta is also delicious. It was eggplant pasta... The burrata cheese and fruit tomato marinade are also delicious. Above all, the atmosphere and the soft and warm response of the staff are wonderful. It would be nice if the water was self-service and the bread came a little faster, haha.

I visited a cafe in Ikebukuro because I wanted to have some sweets at a slightly late hour. When I passed by the shop around noon, there was a long line, but at night, I was able to enter without waiting. The shop mainly serves bread, pasta, and other dishes, but they also have a variety of sweets. The pancakes, in particular, were very satisfying in taste.

On Saturday around 1pm, it was a 90-minute visit. There were 5-6 groups waiting, but we were seated quickly, so I felt the turnover rate was high. We sat at the counter and watched the dishes being made in front of us as we ate. I ordered the August limited edition mango pancake! It was incredibly voluminous. The mango was soft and delicious. We paid with cashless payment.

Located on the 2nd floor of a commercial building about a 5-minute walk from Ikebukuro Station. When I went during lunchtime, there were about 10 people in line. They only accept reservations for their course menu, which is recommended if you don't want to wait in line. The toast is really delicious. It's thick but fluffy, and so light that it's almost like eating air. The butter served with it is light and whipped, with just the right amount of saltiness, making it also delicious. I noticed a pregnant woman there, and when I informed them in advance, they made a special menu for her. I'm grateful for their consideration. Surprisingly, the iced coffee I casually ordered was delicious. It's lightly roasted.

I went to this place with my friends before to have dessert and it was really delicious, so we came back again. This time, I brought a baby in a stroller and a 2-year-old with me. We arrived at 11 o'clock when they opened and were seated right away. The lunch bread was very tasty, and I was told that the 2-year-old could eat the bread at no extra charge. The main dishes were also very delicious, and we got to enjoy freshly baked bread. I read in reviews that the bread refill might take a while, but they kept bringing us more bread multiple times! While holding my child, I accidentally spilled my drink, but the staff quickly came over with lots of napkins to clean it up. I felt really sorry, but the staff member reassured me by saying they understand since they also have kids, which made me happy. Thank you very much. I will definitely visit again.

The atmosphere is very bright and stylish! The staff greeted us in a lively and cheerful manner! I was surprised by their energy! We lined up before the opening and were seated right away! I ordered the salted caramel nut pancake♪ It took about 25 minutes to be served. The pancake was very fluffy and delicious! It was the fluffiest pancake I've ever had♪ The lunch menu also looked delicious, so I want to come back again!

I went to dinner with 3 friends! The cute male staff recommended us dishes in a polite manner. The seating was spaced out so we could relax without worrying about the surroundings. We ordered Caesar salad, truffle omelette, tomato cream pasta with crab, linguine with sweet chili and sour cream fried potatoes, bread buffet, 4 cheese pizza, lemon pancakes. The tomato cream pasta was a bit salty, but the original taste must be delicious. The truffle omelette didn't look like there was much truffle compared to the photo, but it had a nice aroma. The sauce was incredibly tasty, even when dipped with bread. I love the 4 cheese pizza, especially with honey and spicy oil on top. The bread buffet had about 8 types, and I really liked the white sesame ciabatta. The whipped butter was light and had a creamy cheese-like taste, which was delicious. The salad and potatoes were typical, and we ended up eating pizza, bread, pasta, and potatoes until we were stuffed! We wanted to try the pancakes, but suddenly one of us felt unwell, so I couldn't eat them... I took a bite and it was refreshing with the lemon and sorbet. Despite feeling full, it was gone in no time! The prices ranged from around 600 yen to 1400 yen, and the portions were generous with good flavors. I think I will come back here again.

The customer service, food, and atmosphere were all perfect. In particular, the seasonal limited edition peach pancakes (said to be the most popular item of the year) were tastier than any other famous restaurant I've been to. It was a restaurant where I could be truly impressed after a long time. Also, the restroom in the facility is located on a different floor, towards the back of the store.

We visited the restaurant on a Saturday afternoon with two people. We made a reservation for 12:30, but when we arrived at the restaurant, there were about 8 groups waiting in line without reservations, showing how popular it is. During lunchtime, it is necessary to reserve a course, so we ordered the slightly expensive 2800 yen course. It included salad, omelette, steak, freshly baked bread, and although the portion was quite large for women, each dish was delicious and men would find it very satisfying. We could choose one drink, so I had lemonade, which was a very delicious juice with a refreshing feeling perfect for summer. The price is a bit high, but the staff's service was very polite, making it a highly recommended restaurant. I recommend using it as a reward or for special occasions.

I went there at 3:30 pm on Saturday. I waited in line for about 30 minutes before getting inside. Once inside, there were plenty of seats available. When I ordered the pancakes, I was told it would take 20 minutes, so it's best to visit when you have time to spare! The pancakes were light, fluffy, and delicious. The maple butter was especially tasty!
