| - We were looking for a Japanese-themed place to meet, and you can't get anymore 'cute' Japanese than this second floor cafe above the bakery. Its liberally splashed with pink, the waitresses in french maid outfits, and the food comes with animal faces on them. I applaud waitresses' ability to stay cheery, smiling and endlessly energetic the whole time we were there. Even when shuttling items back and forth through the busy crowds of people, taking orders or explaining the menu.
I had the dark hot chocolate, which was passable...sugary, dark, frothy and came in a large mug. However, it was barely above room temperature and therefore not hot enough for my tastes. Another got the omurice, which is a special menu item. The waitress brings the plate, teaches you to cast a special tasty spell (there are hand actions and a chant), and draws your animal of choice in ketchup for you. You've never had service like this before, be prepared for an intensely cute interaction. Various drinks were ordered but none of them had any cute animal latte art on them - that was slightly disappointing. Some at the table got cake slices which comes in generous portions. One slice is a little less than a quarter of the cake, and comes with a choice of sauce.
In summary, the food was okay but the experience is definitely interesting.
