It's rich but not overly sweet, perfect for a Valentine's feel.The plate is decorated with nuts, tangy raspberry sauce, rich chocolate whip, and more.And the heart-shaped chocolate on the side...wait, is it white!?We got white chocolate, but normally it's regular chocolate (the photo on the sign is brown).The surroundings were brown, so it seems like we stumbled upon a rare find.I debated between making the drink a limited-time item or balancing the sweetness of the pancake with coffee, but I chose chai because I like it.Despite its sweet appearance, it's surprisingly refreshing and easy to drink. It has a hint of mint...or is it just me?The loco moco had a slightly strong acidity in the salad dressing, but it balanced well when paired with the pancakes!--------꙳◌Atmosphere of the Restaurant◌꙳--------The restaurant has a spacious and open feel, with a casual atmosphere enhanced by the American-style brick walls.There are sofa seats for a relaxed experience.With seats near electrical outlets, many people use it as a workspace cafe, so there are often customers spending long hours there.While it could work for dinner, it's more recommended for lunch or cafe visits based on the menu.Girls' Night Out ✔︎ Date Night ✔︎ Solo Dining ✔︎ Male Customers ✔︎-------꙳◌Additional Information◌꙳-------Sharing recommendations for restaurants suitable for "Girls' Night Out" or "Date Night" from the perspective of an office worker who dines out 200 times a year.◌◆SNSInstagram ID: per0rineFeel free to check it out - likes, saves, and comments are appreciated!♡
