Visited around 3:00 pm on the weekend. We were the first in line and only had to wait about 10 minutes to get seated. The door facing the road is for takeout orders (you can check the cakes here!). For dining in, you enter from the back of the hallway. This is a sister store of Cafe Fason in Naka-Meguro, known for their homemade cakes. They brew their coffee with a machine, not hand drip, and seem to recommend the cafe latte. We came for tea, but the sandwiches and curry also looked delicious. The terrace seating (dog-friendly) is enclosed with curtains to keep the outside air out, and there is air conditioning too! (Although it might be too hot for my heat-sensitive dog). The staff members were all warm and friendly, making us feel like the latte was delicious even before it arrived (lol). I wonder how they train their staff, everyone provides such pleasant service. ★ Cafe Latte (Regular) 650 yen ★ Peach Shortcake 900 yen The cafe latte was just as expected from Fason! Rich in flavor, the espresso brings out the creamy smoothness of the milk. The shortcake was incredibly moist, with a lovely pink color from the peaches. The juicy peaches paired perfectly with the light cream and moist sponge, creating a delightful harmony. I wonder if the sponge is the same for the strawberry shortcake? It was a perfect match for the peaches. It was crowded because it was the weekend, but I might invite my friends who live nearby for a leisurely lunch on a weekday. Having Fason's coffee during lunch feels like a great deal!

At Faison Base, I enjoyed a peach parfait made with delicious peaches from the fruit farm Amemiya in Yamanashi. When it arrived at the table, a hint of rose was sprayed on top, and I savored the juicy and sweet peach at the top. As I looked at the illustration of the parfait, I thought, "I want to save this fresh peach for last," so I moved a piece to a plate and saved it (laughs). I am the type who likes to leave my favorite part for last, as I want to savor the aftertaste in my mouth. The amount of cookies and raspberry sorbet was just right, and I soon encountered peach compote and peaches with ricotta and honey. As I enjoyed the bottom layer of peach and rose jelly, along with the matcha crumble, I truly savored the peach. The parfait allows you to enjoy the goodness of the peach itself. It may seem small at first, but once you finish it, you feel completely satisfied. The peach parfait is available on weekends from 2 pm, depending on the peach situation, and they may offer it until the end of August. If the timing works out, I recommend giving it a try. They also have peach shortcake, so I might try that next time.

The outdoor bench and indoor terrace are pet-friendly. The indoor terrace feels like you're inside the restaurant! It has air conditioning, so it's not too cold in winter or too hot in summer. A sister store of the popular Cafe Fason in Naka-Meguro, listed on Tabelog's Top 100 Cafes, opened last year between Naka-Meguro and Ikejiri-Ohashi. This location allows pets, and it's more pet-friendly than I expected! Since it's summer, they provide cool beds for dogs! The staff is very friendly, and the Cafe Latte was delicious! They serve a dessert that looks like a mini parfait, with vanilla bean panna cotta, mango sauce, and Ethiopian coffee jelly. The financiers are a soft type, but my preference is for them to be crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. They have a nice aroma. For me, financiers and curry are just average.

【Purpose】 Suitable for dates, also good for daily use for girls who like cute things 【Good Points】 All the cakes looked delicious, takeout is available 【Concerns】 It's a bit of a walk from the station, located along the Meguro River so it's more of a place to visit while taking a stroll 【Other】 ===========

I heard that the mackerel fry sandwich at the Sandtonic Espresso main store in Naka-Meguro is delicious, so I visited the branch in the evening. The sandwich is packed with mackerel fry, similar to a mackerel fry set meal! It was unexpected to be able to enjoy fish at a cafe! There were many people enjoying an early dinner with a variety of food options available. Since it is a coffee specialty shop, you can of course enjoy delicious coffee, and there is also a wide selection of sweets available.

There was a new branch of the famous cafe "Cafe Fason" in the area near Ikejiri-Ohashi. The cafe had a red canopy and earthy blue door frame, with a takeout area for coffee and cakes. The coffee beans were neatly displayed, and the refrigerated showcase had delicious-looking cakes. Inside, a huge coffee roaster caught the eye, emitting a wonderful aroma as it roasted coffee beans. The staff were friendly and welcoming. I tried the following items: 1. Chicken ham and carrot rapeseed sandwich for 1200 yen, filled with ingredients and served with a side salad. 2. Victoria cake with olive oil and lemon from Seiryu for 750 yen, a butter-free cake with delicious olive oil that exceeded expectations. 3. Iced coffee for 750 yen, using the Meguro River Blend City High Roast. The cafe was lovely and peaceful, tucked away from the Meguro River. I definitely want to visit again.

I wanted to have some delicious coffee and cake, so I arrived 30 minutes before closing at a shop near Meguro Station that I had never been to before. It was located right by the Meguro River and had a relaxing atmosphere. The shop near Meguro Station felt a bit cramped, but this one felt more open and spacious. The staff were all very friendly and I felt really relaxed. My partner bought some beans and said they were really delicious, so we bought some more this time. I felt a bit bad coming in 30 minutes before closing, so I paid first and then enjoyed my time there. I'm planning to bring my partner next time. I will definitely visit again.

Visited for lunch on a holiday afternoon in 2023. While enjoying the cherry blossoms, I stumbled upon a sister cafe of Fasson! I decided to take a break and stepped inside, where there was almost no seat available except for one. I quickly looked at the menu and decided to eat here because everything looked so delicious. Ordered the following: - Original Curry 2 kinds combo 1,760 yen (with salad and drink) - French Fries 715 yen Although everything looked delicious, I chose the curry when I heard that the secret ingredient was coffee! The curry of the day was chicken and pork. I chose the drip coffee, which was undeniably delicious with a wonderful aroma. Both curries were well-made with the right amount of spices, and the salad dressing was also delicious, making me want to buy some carrot-based dressing! The homemade ketchup and mayonnaise for the potatoes made me want to dip them, even though I usually don't. The atmosphere of the staff was also very nice, and I had a great lunch! I'm curious about the cakes too, so I'd love to stop by again! Thank you for the meal!

I have been to the Fasson in Naka-Meguro a few times, but I heard they opened a new store, so I stopped by since it's about a 20-minute walk from both Naka-Meguro and Ikejiri-Ohashi stations. I had coffee in the store and took home a cake this time. The coffee was delicious as always, and the Amazon Cacao cake was also tasty. If I'm in the area again, I would like to visit this place.

On December 13, 2022, I visited the newly opened 'CAFÉFAÇONBASETokyo.' in Aobadai. 'CAFE FACON' is a specialty coffee shop located in Nakameguro and Daikanyama, and I have visited it several times due to the cozy atmosphere of the former 'Café Façon Coffee Stand' in Daikanyama. I have also become friends with the staff and visited their other shops. The roaster 'CAFEFACONROASTERATLIER' in front of the impressive Castle Mansion in Daikanyama is also known as a popular shop with long lines. The new store has a light and modern feel compared to the antique atmosphere of the main store. The lunch menu is extensive, and the fact that the roaster will be in operation is exciting. The entrance is welcoming, and there is a dog-friendly terrace for our furry friends. The interior has a calming atmosphere, and the view from the sofa seats is open and spacious. I had a Masala-flavored rice flour chiffon cake with plenty of cream and raspberry sauce, which was fluffy and delicious. I also ordered a medium-roasted Kenya coffee, which was as tasty as always. The cakes on display looked tempting, and the variety was impressive. Overall, it was a delightful cafe experience, and I recommend visiting for a delicious cup of coffee.

There is a new Fasson cafe in Ikejiri-Ohashi. Well, more like Ohashi than Ikejiri. It seems like there are a lot of cafes opening around this area. The management seems a bit inexperienced since they just opened. The menu is very limited, but when I asked if they have single origin coffee, they said yes! They mentioned that they will eventually have the largest selection of beans. It's interesting to visit during this early stage. They also offer vegan cakes without dairy. The latte is standard. It's a strange location, but the quality of Fasson is already attracting regular customers.

A popular café from Naka-Meguro has opened a new branch in Ikejiri-Ohashi called 'CAFÉ FAÇON BASE Tokyo.' They offer a wide range of options from morning to lunch, and even have a terrace seat that is pet-friendly! Today's soup set is ¥1100, featuring my favorite corn potage. It is rich yet refreshing, with a hint of spice that adds a nice touch. The bread is crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside, perfect for dipping into the potage. You can also choose your favorite drink, which is highly recommended. #TokyoGourmet #TokyoCafé #IkejiriOhashiGourmet #FoodPorn #Foodie #GourmetHunting #FoodLover #Foodstagram #PopularSpot #Instagrammable #CaféHopping #CaféLife #CaféLover #CaféGram #StylishCafé #CAFÉFAÇON #Today'sSoupSet #Americano

I have visited a shop near the station before, and I decided to visit this new shop as well. It is very beautiful and stylish, almost like a French restaurant! The terrace seats seem to be pet-friendly, which is great. I ordered Japanese red tea and Tarte Tatin. The apple part of the Tarte Tatin has a delicious soft acidity. The Japanese red tea has a nice aroma and goes well with the Tarte Tatin. The lunch menu also looked delicious, so I will definitely come back again. Thank you for the meal.

I went to the new Cafe Fasson along the Meguro River. It was late in the evening, just before the last order. I ordered a Basque cheesecake and a large cafe latte. The cheesecake had a mature deliciousness, not too sweet, and you could taste the deliciousness of the cheese well. Since it was late, there was only strawberry shortcake available, but I would like to try other cakes as well.

CAFE FACON BASE Tokyo at Ikejiri Ohashi. This is a new branch of the popular cafe Facon in Naka-Meguro. Located near the popular soba restaurant "Tsuchiyama" as you walk along the Meguro River towards Naka-Meguro from Ikejiri Ohashi station. The brand new, clean store allows you to purchase cakes for takeout or enjoy them in the cafe corner. They also offer a food menu, making it convenient for lunchtime or when you're feeling peckish. The cakes are made in the on-site workshop and include Facon's popular Basque cheesecake, as well as 6 other varieties. On this day, I tried the strawberry shortcake and the olive oil & lemon Victoria cake. The Victoria cake features a butter-free sponge filled with lemon confiture, creating a simple yet flavorful and delicious cake. The whipped cream on the side adds a milky touch, complementing the tangy lemon flavor perfectly. The shortcake was also delicious with plenty of strawberries for a rich taste. The staff at Facon, as well as at this branch, were friendly and created a warm and welcoming atmosphere. It's a great addition to the riverside cafe scene. Thank you for the meal.

Located a little distance away from the Starbucks Reserve Roastery across the Meguro River in the northwest of Naka-Meguro Station is CAFÉ FAÇON BASE Tokyo. This is a new branch of FAÇON, a name that undoubtedly comes up when talking about coffee lovers in Naka-Meguro. The color scheme here is different from the main store, with light gray, blue, and red awnings. There are three ways to enter the cafe: for takeout, for eating in (two options, one may be for smokers or customers with pets?). Currently, you can access the eat-in area through the takeout entrance, but soon they will place the roasting machine there (for now, roasting is done at the Daikanyama store). The espresso machine is a Synesso MVP Hydra, and the grinder is a Mahlkonig (the grinder for takeout is a Kalita). Inside, there is an L-shaped table layout extending towards the back. I visited for a snack after lunch, but I found out that you can have a proper meal here as well. Unfortunately, that will have to wait for next time. This time, I tried the Amazon cacao and orange mousse (¥880), the Red Dream Tart Tatin (¥880), and an Americano (¥605, with a ¥100 discount for a set). The cakes are almost original. The Amazon cacao caught my eye on the menu, and I immediately ordered it. It uses Amazon cacao introduced to Japan by the Amazonian chef Tetsuo Ota. The cake has a unique flavor that is not overly prominent or hidden. The Tart Tatin has an unusual color scheme. Instead of the usual caramel-colored apples, it uses red-fleshed apples to emphasize their unique flavor. The Red Dream has a strong acidity, highlighting the individuality of the apples. Both cakes are bold choices. (It was unusual for a middle-aged man to eat two cakes in a row, so the pastry chef came out afterwards to explain them to me). The Americano is strong because it is espresso-based, with a slightly lower temperature. In terms of coffee, the menu for eating in currently does not offer the diverse bean selection as the main store, so customers may need to choose wisely. The cafe aims to attract customers with a casual atmosphere rather than emphasizing expertise, making coffee enthusiasts feel welcome. It is a different approach from the main store (autre façon). If I have the chance, I will try the curry next time.

Café Fason's new branch, Fason Base, has opened between Ikejiri Ohashi and Nakameguro✨✨ They have brought in a chef and a pastry chef, and the menu is full of options including the curry that was previously served at Fason's main store for weekday lunches, pasta, dishes made with bread, cakes, and more! They have an espresso machine for drinks, so you can also enjoy lattes♪♪ They also offer beer and wine✨ I was all set to have the curry, but I went with the Croque Monsieur recommended by Okanai-san. The bread is from Baba FLAT, so you can't go wrong with that♪♪ It was delicious! Highly recommended✨ The cakes all look tempting, but since it's the season, I went with the Tarte Tatin. They use red apples from San Farm in Iwate, and it was delicious✨ The apples themselves must be really tasty too, I thought with a smile. And finally, the 8th to 10th photos show the UFO, which has become an icon for Fason Base✨ As a special opening gift, you can get this can badge♥ There are four different versions with coffee beans being sucked up by the UFO and a cat. Find your favorite♪♪ Next month, a roasting machine will be installed. They will offer Fason Base's original blend, UFO blend, and more. Of course, the packaging will also feature UFO designs. There are several types of packaging, so look forward to that too♪♪ The terrace seats are dog-friendly. It would be great if the dogs from Daikanyama could also gather here♥ On this day, a cute new dog I met said, "I'll be coming here from now on"♥ I hope to see them again✨✨

CAFÉ FAÇON BASE Tokyo in Ikejiri-Ohashi. This café, opened on 12/13 in a quiet spot near the Meguro River, is the third branch of the popular CAFE FACON in Naka-Meguro, which has been awarded the Tabelog Café Top 100 in 2021 and 2022. Compared to the main branch, this café offers a wider range of food menu options, with espresso-based drinks being the main focus. Drip coffee will be introduced later. The Croque-Monsieur for ¥1,320 comes with a café latte (any drink up to ¥750 with all food orders) and is satisfying with homemade ham and Mornay sauce. The café latte, not available at the main branch, has a well-balanced flavor. The interior of the café is a cute space with a pastel blue theme and plenty of spacious seating. The terrace seating with air conditioning and vinyl curtains is pet-friendly. With a Starbucks Reserve Roastery Tokyo nearby, this café is sure to become a popular spot on weekends. Be sure to check out the cute UFO and cat logo of the store.

In Nakameguro, there's a coffee shop that everyone knows about. It's a new concept from the well-known café Faison, with improved food and drink options. The café sizes are bigger, there's a pastry chef on board for delicious sweets, and the atmosphere is spacious and airy, with a terrace for enjoying in the summer. The menu has expanded to include light meals, and you can enjoy coffee from the popular Okanai. It's a must-visit spot for those in the Nakameguro area, where you can discover new coffee experiences.

Two types of curry, beef and chicken, not too spicy but good. The chicken ham sandwich was quite filling, and it came with coffee for lunch.
