Itoh Coffee

The toast was crisp and light on the outside, recalled one diner who paired the thick-cut slices with blended coffee at Itoh Coffee. The morning toast set comes in three sizes: S, with a drink, for ¥630; M, with salad, for ¥700; and L, with yoghurt and salad, for ¥780. The toast is served with butter-flavoured margarine, and diners can choose jam or cinnamon. That makes it easy to opt for a lighter breakfast or add a little more to the plate. Another diner who ordered the L set noted that it came with 3 slices of toast and 3 kinds of jam. Set contents are a matter of individual orders, but the account offers a glimpse of one diner’s more substantial breakfast.

For a change of bread, there are S, M and L croissant sets, as well as a hot dog M set with salad for ¥750 and an L set that also includes yoghurt for ¥830. One diner described enjoying a hot dog breakfast with coffee. Coffee choices include Royal Blend, noted for its balanced bitterness and acidity, with body and sweetness, and the somewhat darker-roasted Bitter Blend, described as gently bitter with a hint of sweetness. One diner characterised the hot coffee as “not too bitter, with a little acidity and a fruity feel”. If you are unsure what to pair with your bread, a blend might be a good place to start.

For lunch, there is also an egg toast sandwich that one regular diner says they order every time. It is popular with a café latte, too, offering a different way to enjoy a light meal and a drink from the morning toast sets. If you would like something sweet with your coffee, consider a cake set or chiffon cake set, both served with a drink. One diner enjoyed a tiramisu set with a café latte, another option for a treat after a meal or during a break.
