CAFE CALVA is a cafe on the second floor with a great view of the Arisugawa-no-miya Memorial Park. It has a high-class atmosphere and is pet-friendly. Their Instagram is full of pictures of pets. The interior has stylish red and pink walls. The color of their curry seems to be tomato-based. It was very well-cooked and delicious, especially when paired with their original Hiroo blend coffee. I stopped by after visiting the Tokyo Metropolitan Central Library, navigating through the maze in the Arisugawa-no-miya Memorial Park. The park transforms into a nature-rich landscape with forests, streams, and ponds as soon as you enter, truly an oasis in the city.

[First Visit] CAFE CALVA is located on the 2nd floor of a building where you can see the Arisugawa-no-miya Memorial Park, just a 2-minute walk from Exit 1 of Hiroo Station on the Tokyo Metro Hibiya Line. Upon entering at 13:30 on a weekday, there were no other customers, so it felt like a private reservation. As I was leaving, one more customer arrived. I ordered the Afternoon Tea Set, which includes pudding, scone with strawberry jam, a choice of cake, and a choice of drink, all for 1700 yen. The cake options were Baked Cheesecake, Gateau Chocolat, and Persimmon & Walnut Pound Cake. I chose the Baked Cheesecake and paired it with a hot Assam tea. The pudding was soft and creamy, while the cheesecake was rich with a slight tanginess. The scone was crispy. The tea was served in a pot, allowing for refills. It was a delicious meal. - Pets are allowed at this cafe. - Free Wi-Fi is available at the store.

About a 3-minute walk from Hiroo Station. I had never noticed this cafe across from Azabu National Market before. Passing by a few times, I decided to stop by one afternoon. The cafe is on the second floor of a building, with the entrance on the back side of the street. There were no other customers inside, and a very kind lady greeted me with a smile. From the windows on the second floor, you can see Azabu National Supermarket across the street, as well as my favorite "Nagakawa Minoru". The cafe also has a small terrace seating area. The interior is decorated with rose pink walls and ceiling. There are sofa seats and a counter, and it turns into a bar at night. On this day, I tried the following items: 1. Japanese-style pound cake with persimmons and walnuts. Made with dried persimmons and finished with coconut oil, it's a healthy cake made by the lady. 2. Lo Han Guo tea. A healthy tea made from Lo Han Guo fruit from Guilin, China. It has a sweetness similar to black sugar. The curry on the menu also looked delicious. When I mentioned it to the lady, she kindly said, "Please come for lunch next time." Yes, I will definitely come back for lunch next time.

- Afternoon Tea Set ¥1600 - Hiroo Blend Coffee ¥600 - Pudding: Soft and smooth pudding with a slight eggy taste, not too sweet. The caramel is not too bitter, just slightly sweet. - Cheesecake: A slightly crumbly and rich cheesecake, mildly sweet and creamy. The base is moist cookie dough with a hint of butter, and it has raisins in it! - Scones: They warm them up for you. The scones are flaky with a lot of butter, crispy on the outside and moist on the inside. The butter doesn't feel heavy at all. They serve it with berry jam, which is sweet and tangy. - The cafe has a calming atmosphere similar to a traditional coffee shop, and it's a hidden gem as it was empty when I visited. It's easy to go in alone. - The cafe latte is quite strong!

The first time I came here was to have a meeting, so I was looking for a cafe. I often passed by, but since it's on the second floor, I didn't know what the atmosphere was like and just kept walking. This time, I had a purpose, so I decided to bravely go up to the second floor. I climbed the stairs next to the building and went to the second floor, where I found a cute colored door. When I opened the door, I found a cozy French-style cafe. The sofas were somehow classically unified, and most importantly, the pink and purple wallpaper was to my liking. In this post, it's my second visit, and I ordered the cake set again. The pudding and gateau chocolat are very delicious. I used to think gateau chocolat was dry and hard, but the one here is very moist. It's a bit filling, so when I asked for a takeout, they kindly provided a case for it. From the windows on the second floor, you can see Arisugawa Park. The cafe also serves curry. It's a place you'd want to use when you want to have a leisurely conversation or discuss something.

The pudding was moist with a light caramel sauce, but the flavor was a bit weak. Personally, I like a slightly bitter taste, so I was a little disappointed. The pudding was firm and had a nostalgic homemade feel. The cafe allows pets, so you can see animals here and there. Just watching the animals is enough for me.

I met up with a friend at a charming café near the Arisugawa Memorial Park that allows pets. I arrived 30 minutes early and found this café while looking for a place to have pudding nearby. What I had: - Hiroo Blend Coffee (600 yen) - Homemade Pudding (400 yen) The pudding was surprisingly firm, not too soft, but had a simple and delicious homemade taste. The caramel sauce was smooth and not too sweet or bitter, which paired perfectly with the slightly bitter coffee. The café had an antique and exotic atmosphere, with a lovely interior and a favorite photo spot with greenery, blue skies, and a charming sign. There is also a terrace seat, perfect for warm days. The owner was very nice, and there is Wi-Fi and power outlets available, making it a hidden gem in Hiroo. They allow pets, and you can even bring your pet to work there. I bought some dog cookies (100 yen) as a souvenir for my dog, and they loved it when I got home. Both my dog and I had a great time. Thank you for the wonderful meal! ★

Having lunch in Hiroo, taking a walk in Arisugawa Memorial Park, and before heading back, let's have something sweet. This time, I tried going to Calva. It's located just across the street from Arisugawa Memorial Park. It's conveniently close to the station. The restaurant is on the second floor, and there were some available table seats. There also seems to be a terrace seat with a view of Arisugawa Memorial Park. Now, let's order. I chose the homemade custard pudding and Hiroo blend coffee, while my wife chose the Gateau Chocolat and sparkling lemonade. It seemed like there was only one person running the place, but the orders were being served promptly to others. The hand-drip coffee arrived quickly. The homemade custard pudding had a homemade feel to it. The shape was a bit messy, but that added to its charm. The pudding was firm, with a nice eggy taste. The caramel had a good balance of bitterness. The Hiroo blend coffee was a bit light, but it had almost no acidity and a nice bitterness, which I liked. I tried a bit of the Gateau Chocolat, and it was moist and rich in flavor, almost like a high-quality cake shop's Gateau Chocolat. The sparkling lemonade had blueberries in it. It was a nice break with delicious pudding and cake. Thank you for the meal. Now, let's walk back to the station.

Hiroo Kaitaku Today I visited Hiroo for a meeting. First stop: I visited here using MTG. <Order> Iced coffee The bitterness was not too strong, and it was refreshing and easy to drink. The atmosphere inside the store is dog-friendly. Thank you for the meal.

The calm atmosphere, delicious cake, and coffee were all excellent!

I enjoyed a relaxing dessert while sitting on a comfortable sofa. I opened the window slightly for ventilation. The homemade pudding had a smooth texture and the caramel was just right in terms of sweetness. It was exactly to my liking.

I came in to kill some time until Hasegawa Minoru, but the tea was delicious and the pudding had a nostalgic feel to it. It seems that pets are allowed, and I couldn't resist the cuteness of other customers' dogs (lol). I had a pleasant and comfortable time.

There is a small terrace cafe with a view of Arisugawa Park. It is located just before turning towards National Azabu. The lunch set is around 1200-1300 yen and comes with a drink, which is a good deal. You can also add dessert at a reasonable price. The curry was delicious, and the atmosphere was calm and not too crowded, maybe because it was on the second floor. It seems like it turns into a champagne bar at night.

★3.4【FILE 3238】Visited a cafe located on the 2nd floor of Muramatsu Building diagonally across from Arisugawa Park in Minami-Azabu, which opened 10 years ago in 2007. The interior of the cafe has a stimulating atmosphere with a deep red color scheme. Inside, there are counter seats on the left, table seats towards the back, and terrace seats at the very back, totaling 10 seats in a cozy space. Upon arrival, there was one group of 2 customers already present. After that, no other customers arrived, so it was very quiet. The clientele consisted entirely of women. The service was provided by a friendly and attractive female staff member. The menu includes ◆Cakes・Baked Cheesecake 700 yen・Mikui Chocolate 700 yen・Tarte Tatin 700 yen・Walnut and Dried Persimmon Japanese-style Pound Cake 650 yen・Directly Baked English Muffin 650 yen・Natural Yeast Waffle 650 yen◆Café・Hiroo Blend Coffee 550 yen・Lacan Coffee Tea 550 yen. A 200 yen discount is applied when ordering a cake with a café. I ordered Mikui Chocolate for 700 yen, Hiroo Blend Coffee for 550 yen, with a set discount of -200 yen, totaling 1050 yen.

The service time was approximately 12 minutes with the order placed at 15:41, cake served at 15:51 (10 minutes later), and coffee served at 15:53 (12 minutes later). The Mikui Chocolate cake is made with carefully selected chocolate, topped with berry jam, and is a rich and moist semi-baked chocolate cake with a delicious berry sweetness as an accent. The café is Hiroo Blend Coffee, brewed using hand drip with coffee beans roasted in Azabu-Juban. It is delicious. The cafe has a stimulating atmosphere with a deep red color scheme. The Cake Set for 1050 yen includes Mikui Chocolate and Hiroo Blend Coffee. Despite the all-red interior, the cafe offers a calm and enjoyable atmosphere with a view of Arisugawa Park from across the street.

[Visit in October 2014] I visited a cafe that I had always wanted to visit. After getting off at Hiroo Station and heading towards Arisugawa Park, I found the cafe on the second floor of a building located at the intersection where "National Supermarket" is. "Cafe Calva Hiroo" is the name of the shop. The interior is decorated in a striking burgundy color, with the ceiling, walls, and chair fabrics adding an impactful touch. The solidly built counter creates a calm atmosphere, balancing out the interior style. When the weather is nice, the bright sunlight streams in through the windows, and the lush trees of Arisugawa Park provide a pleasant view. Cafe Calva Hiroo's operating hours are from 10:00 to 18:00. It closes early for this area, but interestingly, from 19:00 onwards, it transforms into a champagne bar called "Pomponne". Quite intriguing, isn't it? I tried the Seafood Gumbo (1,100 yen) and the Fig Tart (700 yen). The lunch menu had Gumbo, which was quite unusual. According to Wikipedia, Gumbo is a dish that has permeated the Gulf Coast region of the Southern United States and is made with a rich soup stock, meat or seafood, thickening agent, and the "holy trinity" of vegetables (celery, bell peppers, onions). Traditionally, Gumbo soup is served over rice. The Seafood Gumbo here was just the right amount of hot and delicious. The soup, extracted with the umami of seafood, was perfectly spiced, stimulating the appetite. And I must mention the coffee that came with the set. The hand-dripped coffee was rich yet smooth, with a clean finish. It was probably one of the best coffees I've had in a while. It may seem obvious that coffee at a cafe would be good, but not all cafes serve such delicious coffee. I also added the Fig Tart. The tart had a soft crust, quite different from the usual tart crust, but the buttery flavor was delightful in its own way. This cafe is also pet-friendly. On this day, a cute Boston Terrier was relaxing inside. - Name: Cafe Calva Hiroo - Address: Muramatsu Building 2F, 5-16-4 Minamiazabu, Minato-ku, Tokyo - Phone: 03-3473-6323 - Note: They have a monthly event called "Dorayaki Day". - Recommendation: ☆☆★★★ (2 stars: slightly recommended) For the full article, visit the LifeTeria blog: http://www.lifeteria.com/2014/10/23/01/

On a sunny Sunday after a walk in Arisugawa Park, I visited this place. There was a cute sign at the entrance that said "dogs are welcome." I thought it was a lovely sign, but it turns out this place becomes a champagne bar at night! The cozy and calm atmosphere inside is perfect for a bar setting. I had a delicious healthy tea called lacan tea with a taste similar to black sugar, along with a homemade tart and iced coffee. I enjoyed a relaxing cafe time while looking out at Arisugawa Park through the window. Every first Sunday of the month, they collaborate with a dorayaki shop called Shikaya from Chiba. You can enjoy their dorayaki on a plate in the cafe or take it to go. The dorayaki was so cute and the peanut filling was incredibly delicious. I found this wonderful cafe to visit after a stroll in Arisugawa Park. Pets are allowed inside, and they even provide water for dogs.

After finishing my errands in Hiroo, a place I rarely visit, I decided to explore around and then go to my favorite cafe. I stumbled upon Calva, attracted by the curry rice advertised on the outside sign. Although I wanted to have curry and coffee, I decided to check out other shops first. After walking around and returning to Calva, I went up the outdoor stairs to the second floor where the small cafe was packed with customers. I was seated at a table by the window and opened the menu. Since everyone was drinking coffee, I worried that they might not serve meals anymore. The menu only had drinks and cakes listed, so I assumed lunch hours had ended. I didn't feel like having cake, so I ordered the Hiroo Blend coffee. They serve it using hand drip method. I didn't know at first, but it's a dog-friendly cafe. A regular customer with a small dog arrived later. I thought they only served drinks, but a new customer ordered curry. I was disappointed I couldn't have the curry, but it might have been for the best since I wasn't feeling well. The coffee was delicious. I enjoyed it slowly before leaving the cafe. I may not know when, but if I have the chance to return, I would like to try the curry rice that I missed this time.

I often shop near Azabu Juban Park, so I wanted to try this place for a delicious coffee. I thought they were closed on Mondays, but it was my first time visiting. The cafe is dog-friendly, so I went with three friends and a dog. The place was almost full of local moms from nearby schools and kindergartens. We sat at the counter side by side and ordered a coffee and cake set (¥1000) along with an English muffin for a break. The homemade baked cheese with a mild sweetness and the moist and delicious gateau chocolat were delightful. The elegant female staff provided pleasant service until 6 pm, after which the place turns into a champagne bar, which I found intriguing. There were many unique champagne glasses and wine glasses displayed, sparking my interest. I definitely want to visit again! ★
