Located in Tokyo, Ikebukuro, Cafe de Creer is a beautiful and spacious cafe. There are smoking rooms, but they are the typical small ones that have been added later, and there are two of them. The small size of iced coffee costs 360 yen. Hmm, it's a bit different from the usual Doutor, although once you add syrup and milk, the taste becomes indistinguishable anyway (laughs). The shop is spacious, clean, and the seating is comfortable. However, being right in the heart of Ikebukuro's bustling district, it can get a bit noisy depending on the time of day. Thank you for the meal.

I stopped by to cool off with some iced tea and chocolate donuts. It's hot outside. The cafe here is spacious with plenty of outlets. It's relatively easy to find a seat on weekdays during the day, but it's tough on weekends because everyone stays for a long time. I chose a quick snack. The chocolate donut is a good size for two bites, and the chocolate flavor is quite strong and delicious. The iced tea, in my opinion, is highly rated among chain cafes. It has a good aroma, is rich, and tastes great. The atmosphere is comfortable, and it's easy to want to stay for a long time.

Anyway, the place is spacious! The mint flavor was really good. Even with 10 times extra mint, it was delicious. The Miyazaki chicken was rich in flavor. However, during lunchtime, only one cash register was open, so it was a bit slow. The glass-walled smoking room was a little awkward. There were signs prohibiting TV conferences and phone calls.

Premium Chocolate Mint ¥730 The mint flavor is strong, with a crispy chocolate texture, and a refreshing drink with a moderate sweetness. It's quite cooling! Mint lovers will love it. The ice cream on top is minty, but with a strong milk taste.

It's bustling around 15:15 on weekdays, but if you look around, there are empty seats available! It seems like a good place to stay for a while. Some people are working on their laptops. They have free WiFi. The cushions are comfortable and the seating is not bad. The price for a tax-included hot cafe au lait is 430 yen, which is reasonable. The portion size is okay. The taste is average. If you're looking for better taste, you might want to try a different place, but the spacious interior makes it a comfortable place to be. I liked it and will definitely use it again!

I stopped by Café de Cré Grand on Sunshine Street. It's actually closer to Yodobashi Camera than Sunshine Street. The seats were almost full and they have a 90-minute time limit (rounded up to the nearest whole number). The time limit is convenient. I sat at an empty table and relaxed. I ordered a fluffy cocoa waffle and a café au lait. The waffle was delicious. Thank you for the meal.

Ikebukuro Station East Exit has a bright and open feel with glass doors. I had some free time, so I came here on a weekday afternoon. The place is spacious but quite crowded, and the seats with outlets seem to be full. I managed to secure a seat in advance, though. There are security cameras around. I ordered a fresh banana and waited for it on the spot. They put ripe bananas, milk, and cream in a juicer and blended them together in a significant amount. Some of it was poured into a glass, and they served it with a lovely smile. Self-service items like water and paper napkins were available. The fresh banana smoothie had a nice, smooth texture, and the banana flavor was delicious, although it could have been a bit stronger. I think there was a bit too much milk in it, but the cream left a pleasant taste on the palate. The thick straw was a nice touch. After eating, they made a fresh one for me on the spot. I wonder if the leftovers are used for the next order (laughs). The tables and chairs are low and spacious, with many people around, so it's a bit unsettling. However, the counter seats or the study desk-like circular seats with outlets might be more conducive to concentration. I cleared my dishes, but the staff were there to collect them, as always. Thank you for the meal.

It's crowded on Saturdays with a 90-minute time limit. There are many types of cakes to choose from, but I decided on the Italian chestnut Mont Blanc. This cafe is a bit different from Cafe de Crie, as there are several cakes that are exclusive to the Grande size.

I wonder if it's because of the impact of the coronavirus? It's not crowded. I had an iced coffee. The ice was in small block type. It seems a little stronger than before. I forgot to take a picture, but the Danish bread with ham and cheese sauce sandwiched was delicious.

Located about a 3-minute walk from Ikebukuro Station East Exit, on the 1st floor of a building along Sunshine Street, is the cafe "CAFE de CRIE Grand Sunshine Street Store". I visited for the first time in late January. First, I placed my order and paid at the register. On this day, I ordered the "Warm Morning Plate Broccoli Cheese Potage" (630 yen). I received a hot coffee and a number tag, then moved to a seat of my choice. The store has a total of 200 seats, so it's quite spacious. I chose a table for two and soon the morning plate arrived. The plate included toast, broccoli cheese potage, scrambled eggs, ham, and tomato. I spread butter on the toast and took a bite. The crispy texture of the toast was just how I like it. The warmth and gentle taste of the broccoli cheese potage made me feel cozy. I finished my meal in no time. Since it was early morning and not many customers were there, I could enjoy my breakfast leisurely. Thank you for the meal.

I stopped by after eating curry for 340 yen at Unadachi-san because I stayed for about 15 minutes. The interior of the restaurant is very spacious. Not only the number of seats, but the variety of seating arrangements is interesting. There are sofas, seats with back cushions, facing each other, and side by side. Whether you're alone, working, with a couple, or a group, you can choose your seat according to your scene. There seem to be over 100 seats in total. There is also a glass-enclosed smoking room inside the restaurant. The American coffee has a mild acidity. It's a good palate cleanser after the curry. I was comfortable with the seat with a back cushion. I also wrote a review on Tabelog. Thank you.

It's past 9:30, so I went to Morning at Ikebukuro Station East Exit. This place underwent a major renovation this year and it's my first time here since then. The seating area is a bit narrow, but the common area (aisle) is quite spacious. The counter seats have outlets and USB ports, so many people use their laptops or phones here. It feels like an open walking space. The distance between the counter seats is just right. They serve Morning until 11:00, with options like scrambled eggs for 630 yen, red bean toast for 510 yen, ham and eggs for 610 yen, and sausage for 540 yen. For drinks, they offer blends, cafe lattes, iced coffee, cafe au lait, Americano, royal milk tea, hot tea, and iced tea. You can also substitute juice for an additional fee. The hot tea options are Darjeeling and Earl Grey, while the iced tea is only Earl Grey. I had the sausage breakfast with Darjeeling hot tea. You order drinks at the counter and they bring the food to you. I used the USB port at the counter, and it was convenient that I had a charger for my phone. The Darjeeling tea was weak in both aroma and taste, even after steeping for a long time. I added three portions of milk. The toast had a nice color and the margarine was surprisingly rich. The toast was soft and delicious all the way to the edge. The potato salad had a slightly strong flavor with fresh and crispy lettuce. The sausage and wiener sausage were both herb-infused and easy to eat without any strong flavors. The wiener was crispy and juicy, and tasted great with the ketchup I added later. When I asked for ketchup after the meal, they even gave me a spoon, which was nice. The tea was a bit disappointing, but the fresh lettuce, well-toasted bread, and delicious sausages made it a good breakfast. The receipt had a coupon for half off another drink if you return the same day. This place seems to cater to people working on their laptops or phones alone, which is nice. The layout of tables and chairs other than the counter is a bit cramped, which feels a bit uncomfortable. They ask for a 90-minute stay limit on weekends and holidays, as it's so cozy that you might end up lingering. The staff had lovely smiles and were very pleasant. When you come here, it's a good idea to bring your own charging cord for your devices.

This restaurant is large and spacious, with a smoking area available where you can stand and smoke. I stopped by for lunch after work. It's a noticeable place with a lot of space, perfect for recharging during lunchtime, so it's always crowded with nearby office workers. Even though there may be lines at the register, there are plenty of seats available inside. It seems like there is also a second floor. I've been to other branches before, but this is my first time here. I came because I heard the food is delicious, and even though I've been living in Ikebukuro for a while, this was my first visit. I ordered Carbonara and an Orange Float. The Float comes as a set, all for ¥1,250. I was tempted by the French Toast, but since it was lunchtime and I wanted something to fill me up for the afternoon work, I opted for pasta. There's a pasta shop nearby, but this restaurant is way better! Even though it's a chain, the pasta here is much tastier compared to the olive oil-drenched pasta at specialty pasta shops. The Orange Float was also delicious. It was said that there might be a 10-minute wait for food during lunch rush, but in reality, it didn't take that long.

When I'm feeling a bit peckish, nothing beats a menu with just the right options. The iced coffee is perfect, not too much ice, and you can really taste the coffee. The spacious interior makes it easy to visit during this time of COVID. The fact that they have a workspace is a plus. And if you order another drink, you get half off with the receipt.

Resting to recover from walking around Ikebukuro and satisfying my thirst and sugar cravings. Stumbled upon Café de Cré in Sunshine Street, a first-time visit for me. Unlike other Cré locations I've been to, this one felt different. The interior is incredibly spacious! Despite being crowded on a Saturday afternoon, the seating arrangement was relaxed enough that you wouldn't feel cramped. The sofas even had back cushions that made it dangerously comfortable - I almost fell asleep. The tables were well spaced apart, so conversations from neighboring tables were barely audible, adding to the peaceful atmosphere. For my sugar fix, I ordered the "Moist Waffle Blueberry & Cheese" - just the right amount of sweetness for me. The soft waffle with cream and blueberries was irresistible, and the cheese flavor was barely noticeable. I paired it with a tall iced café au lait. I could spend hours here without a care in the world. This Café de Cré location is now my favorite - I'll definitely be back!

I used it for breakfast. The seating inside the restaurant had a bit of distance between tables, but some seats were back to back, so I wished for a bit more consideration. The breakfast menu was extensive, and you could also order from the regular menu. The Toast Sandwich Morning with Ham and Egg for ¥500 + tax was a good deal for the portion size. The taste was nothing outstanding, but I was satisfied without any complaints.

I visited after a long time. It's not too crowded on weekday afternoons. I ordered a hojicha chiffon cake and iced tea. I wanted peach tea, but it didn't come with the set discount, so I chose iced tea instead. The chiffon cake was a bit firm, but tasty. It didn't have a strong hojicha flavor, but I enjoyed it. I would like to come back again.

This is Cafe de Cre located on Sunshine Street, Ikebukuro East Exit, as the name suggests. The interior of the cafe is quite spacious with a few smoking areas and seats with power outlets available. I purchased a chocolate donut (¥121) from the counter and ordered a regular blend coffee (¥286). I had tried the salted caramel donut about a month ago, and this time, the chocolate donut was also delicious, not too sweet, and paired well with the blend coffee. This particular location has plenty of seating, so you can comfortably work inside without hesitation.

☆I used it for lunch with a friend. We visited around 1 pm on the weekend and the restaurant was almost full. We managed to secure a table for two. I ordered the Tuna & Shrimp Avocado Sandwich with an iced tea as a drink set. I received the drink first, and the sandwich was brought by the staff later. The sandwiches were wrapped in paper. The bread was toasted. The portion was smaller than the menu photo, and the taste was average. The highlight is that you can relax with a power outlet. Thank you for the meal.

During a break, I visited Cafe de Creer. The cafe has around 200 seats and the interior is bright and clean. There are cushioned seats available for a comfortable experience. The clientele is relatively young, making the atmosphere lively. They also offer decaffeinated coffee at affordable prices.
