| - This place used to be an Italian café. I'm not sure when it changed hands, but I don't think it's that long ago. I noticed it because of its cute name (neko = cat)! The owners are a young couple (you can spot their child's high chair in the dining room).
They designed Café Neko to be a "comptoir asiatique", a sort of café/restaurant where you can stop by quickly to grab ice tea and ice cream, or sit down for a good meal. Their meal menu offers mainly udon noodles and donburi (rice bowls with meat, veggies or tofu on top). They have a few uncommon items, such as black sesame rice krispies. Interestingly, they also sell vegan kimchi, which I take is kimchi made either without fish sauce (the only animal product used in kimchi-making) or with vegan fish sauce. Prices are affordable, but some items seem a bit more expensive. For example, a single homemade mochi was priced at 2$.
We were on our way to an appointment, so we just grabbed homemade ice tea and milk tea. Their summer promotion offers these at 1$ and 1.50$, respectively, so it cost 2.88$ total! So cheap!! Both drinks were nice and refreshing, and not sweet at all. The iced green tea, in particular, was almost bitter, which is actually pleasant if you like tea a lot.
A nice spot! We're looking forward to go eat there!
