On weekends, in the evening around 4 or 5 o'clock, there is a wave of people rushing home. When feeling tired and hungry, and wanting to relax for a bit, it's hard to find a cafe to sit down in Shibuya or Ebisu. The area is full of trendy places, popular for ladies' gatherings and dates. However, for an old man like me, my legs are tired and I need a McDonald's shake to keep my sanity. I tried to order a shake with my mobile order, but unfortunately, they didn't offer shakes. It's a shame because I enjoy having fries with a shake. So, I settled for a value meal with a coffee instead. I miss the old days when they had cafe au lait or cafe latte. Why does McDonald's keep taking away my favorites? Anyway, I ended up eating my burger in the end.

Every time I write "for time adjustment" on my food log, it makes me realize my poor time management skills or how bored I am, which can be depressing. Well, McDonald's is the ultimate cost-effective cafe for killing time, thank you very much.

I had some time before my next appointment, so I decided to take a break at this store where I could charge my devices and use wifi. It's a relatively large store that is open 24 hours. The power outlets are only available at the counter seats by the window, and they are limited in number so they may not always be available. I initially sat elsewhere and moved when a spot opened up. I ordered the newly revamped coffee, which I thought was delicious and worth the price.

I visited the restaurant alone on a weekday in late December 2022, just before Christmas, around 5 pm. The first floor of the two-story restaurant is where the reception counter is located. It was crowded, so customers couldn't enter the entrance completely. Unsure if it was okay, I went upstairs and secured a seat. Luckily, there was one empty counter seat by the window. I ordered a hot coffee and a vegetable juice. There was too much ice in the vegetable juice! I always wonder why they don't offer decaf coffee.

From July 18, 2022, the conquest of all 356 McDonald's stores in Tokyo begins! The Ebisu Station store offers the Filet-O-Fish for ¥410, including tax, and accepts electronic money. This store also has a second-floor McDonald's Cafe.

The double thick beef with seared soy sauce flavor was as delicious as I had heard! The crunchy texture of the onions is really good, and the slightly sweet taste of the sauce is just right! It was quite crowded all evening on Friday, and this time I waited for about 10 groups ahead of me. There is always a wait of about 10 groups.

I thought it was strange to review McDonald's, but I decided to write about it because I used the second-floor McCafé, which is different from the usual McDonald's. I had an iced café au lait and the newly released banana macaron. The macaron came in a small cup, similar to when you drink a shot of espresso or whiskey. It was unique. The taste was delicious as usual. However, it was disappointing that you couldn't place a mobile order at McCafé. It seemed like they were short-staffed, as I had to wait at the register for over 15 minutes even though it wasn't crowded. It didn't feel like fast food.

[Shop Name] McDonald's Ebisu Station Front Store [Nearest Station] Ebisu Station, 1 minute walk [Budget] 150 yen and up Visited in March 2022 I was exploring around Ebisu Station and feeling a bit tired, so I decided to stop by the McDonald's in front of the station. Since I had plans to eat later, I ordered a coffee. I later noticed that there is a cafe menu ordering area on the second floor, while the first floor is mainly for ordering hamburgers. The second floor is mostly seating space. The customers were mostly in their teens and twenties. It's a casual and easy place to drop by. Thank you for the meal.

*Waiting time* Around 5 minutes past 12 o'clock *Order & Price* One bite churros for 240 yen *Atmosphere* There are no outlets, but there are spaces suitable for studying or working, making it easy to stay for a long time. *Service* You can order via mobile. *Impression* The outer part of the one-bite churros feels more like a cookie or old-fashioned style rather than a typical churros. However, it is still delicious. The chocolate inside is rich and similar to the chocolate used in triangular chocolate pies. *Expectations* I'm glad I could try it as I was curious about it.

After drinking in Ebisu, we decided to have a hamburger instead of ramen since it might be too heavy. We ended up at a place with a Mac Cafe attached. It was actually my first time at a Mac Cafe, so I changed my plan and had the Chocolat Nut Cake for 420 yen and an Americano M for 270 yen. The quality was worth the price.

The store has two floors and is very spacious! There is a MacCafe on the second floor, offering a variety of cafe-like menu items such as Frappuccinos, special drinks, and macarons. There are not many seats with outlets, but each seat is separated, making it easy to study or work. There are many staff members who are constantly serving food. I ordered the Chicken Filet for the first time in a while and was surprised that the chicken was soft and fluffy, not crispy. The Teriyaki was also a surprise with a flavor that was different from what I had imagined, with a ginger-like, somewhat Japanese taste that I had never experienced before. It's interesting to try something different from the usual dishes once in a while!

This is a limited-time item at McCafe! It may no longer be on sale now. The frappe made with three types of peaches - yellow peach, white peach, and nectarine - tasted incredibly delicious. I'm not sure if they all had the same peach on top, but the volume was great. It seems to be released every year with improvements, so if you missed it, let's wait until next year. Just wanted to share this with you...

I had a meeting scheduled in Ebisu, but I hadn't been to Ebisu recently and arrived much earlier than expected. Since I didn't know which restaurant to go to, I thought, "Well, I probably won't have a meeting at McDonald's," and decided to wait there alone. It was already past 1 pm and I hadn't eaten breakfast or lunch, so I ordered a Teriyaki Burger and an Iced Coffee. As I was about to get up to leave after sending a message, I noticed a display of colorful macarons. "Oh, this must be the famous McDonald's Café!" I regretted not ordering from there instead. I checked if I could cancel my order, but it was too late, so I ended up eating both the Teriyaki Burger and the macarons. The macarons cost 150 yen each, and I chose matcha and raspberry flavors. They were delicious and had a gooey texture with a generous amount of sauce inside. The Ebisu Station Front store had a stylish and cool atmosphere, fitting for the Ebisu area.

I visited before meeting a friend at Manowa during the day. The small size coffee is only 100 yen, which is still very cheap. They have power outlets and wifi available, and there were many salarymen working there. Good job, everyone.

I used it for lunch on a weekday in November 2019. I used it for takeout, but I was in a rush and didn't actually eat it until late afternoon when I took the photo. Today's lunch was purchased for takeout, but I had work and ended up eating it in the late afternoon. I had the nuggets with barbecue sauce. The nuggets had a good texture and were still very delicious even when they cooled down. The Grand Clubhouse had wilted lettuce due to the time that had passed, but you could still feel that there were plenty of vegetables. The sliced cheese (white cheddar cheese) was creamy. It was a shame that I couldn't taste the freshness of the food since some time had passed since I purchased it, but it was still reasonably delicious, showing that it was indeed from McDonald's. Next time, I would like to enjoy it fresh in the store. Thank you for the meal (^ ^)

Visited the store at 5:00 PM on 11/15 and ordered a Premium Roast Coffee in size M. It was smooth and easy to drink. The M size for 150 yen is a great deal. I could use my Rakuten points too. The store has a McDonald's café, so the eat-in area is stylish. The space between seats is a bit narrow, but there are quite a few single seats. Since it's near the station, seats get filled quickly when available. Luckily, I found a seat.

On November 4, 2019, I had some errands in Ebisu and stopped by a McDonald's in front of Ebisu station to kill some time. I used a coupon from the app to get a Premium Roast Coffee size M for 120 yen including tax. I secured a seat with a power outlet at the counter and enjoyed my coffee leisurely. It was a quiet morning in Ebisu due to the Culture Day holiday. The coffee was hot, but the aroma was lacking and the taste was mediocre, but it helped warm me up. Thank you for the meal!

Ebisu Station Front Store, visited after 6 years. It's not directly in front when considering the west exit of the station, but it's a corner property, so it can be considered prime real estate. The foot traffic has been stable since opening. Revisiting the review from 6 years ago, it mentioned the clientele being somewhat adult-oriented, but this time the age group seemed to have shifted towards the younger side. (It could just be that I've aged.) By the way, my father hasn't even mentioned McDonald's since then. The purpose of the visit was for the Renamed Burgers. I tried 3 types split into 2 visits. 1) Karubi Mac, now called Jyo Kalbi, single item for 420 yen. The renaming sense is the worst, but leaving aside whether it tastes like a McDonald's hamburger, it seemed to be the most delicious. Well, the idea of putting grilled meat on a patty is a bit off (cheating), though. 2) Tamago Double Mac, now called Nico Tama, single item for 420 yen. It seems to be on the renaming route of Dubchi or Eguchi, but it feels forced. However, with sesame buns, a patty, egg, and bacon, the taste is classic. If you're going to eat a hamburger, this is the only choice. 3) Icon Chicken Salt & Lemon, now called Remo Momon, single item for 420 yen. If it were me, I would just call it Momo Lemon. (Even though it sounds like a dishwashing detergent.) It seems a bit saltier than before, but since this product had a big impact when I first tried it, it was good to be able to eat it again on this occasion. The fried chicken with peach meat is delicious.

I was stood up by someone I had plans with and almost cried in the rain in Ebisu. So, I ended up eating alone today. - Cheese Teritama Set (590 yen): The first bite of the Cheese Teritama is incredibly delicious. It remains tasty until the end, but you might get a bit tired of it towards the end. However, the Teriyaki flavor at McDonald's is just unbeatable. I love it. - Shake Vanilla Set: You can also order a drink with this set. I love the Vanilla Shake. The first sip is incredibly delicious. It remains tasty until the end, but you might get a bit tired of it towards the end. However, McDonald's shakes have an unbeatable greatness. I love them. - Potato Set: This set comes with fries. I love McDonald's fries. The first bite is (I'm too lazy to write it again, but you get what I mean, right?) - McFlurry: Delicious. - Double Cheeseburger: I tried it for the first time, but I didn't really like it. You know what happens when you stand up a woman with a bad personality like me, right? (I curse you to have a tendency to get hemorrhoids for generations to come)

[Place/Time] About a 2-minute walk from Ebisu Station, around 19:30 [Food] - Chicken Tatsuta (Refreshing ginger soy sauce) - Potato Using the McDonald's app, it cost ¥640. [Drink] - Iced tea [Comments] - The store has a good number of seats for dining in, but it was almost full when I visited! - Burger making seemed a bit sloppy due to the crowded conditions (had to fix it myself a bit for the photo, haha). - I tried the refreshing ginger soy sauce for the Chicken Tatsuta, but it was too light and the sauce flavor was hard to discern. - However, the Chicken Tatsuta was consistently delicious. - The crispy lettuce and fluffy buns were tasty. - The fries were well cooked this time (a matter of personal preference). - It was convenient to have Wi-Fi and outlets available. - The second floor has a McCafe, making the interior look nice. Thank you for the meal! (*^▽^*)
