Yotsuba Cafe
There are many menu items that reflect the sensitivity of the owner.
This nostalgic café is run in a 100-year-old townhouse. The owner puts her heart and soul into each of the sweets she makes, including "Deer's Otoshimono," a smooth pudding topped with creamy soybean flour sauce and Bambi cookies, coffee jelly topped with ice cream, and caramel mandarin orange parfait. These sweets are best enjoyed with a cup of coffee or tea.
Our lunchtime recommendation is the Melted Cheese Chicken Curry. The addition of tomato ketchup adds a gentle sweetness to the flavor, which is perfectly intertwined with the subtle spices that spread on the palate. We also offer other light meals such as sandwiches, pizzas, and cheese toast.
The owner's playful menu items are also not to be missed, such as the Calpis Polka Dot Cider (limited time only), which has Delaware floating in Calpis like polka dots, and the parfait decorated with ears and tail to look like a tiger cat (limited to the Nyaramachi Cat Festival).
