About this place
Elegantly shaped like blooming roses, the desserts at Kissa Koyuki lift the mood the moment they arrive at the table. Located in Maenocho, Itabashi Ward, the cafe's signature sweet is Shirobara ("White Rose"), a gently sweetened panna cotta. Floral motifs carry through the sweet lineup, from Kurobara ("Black Rose")—pleasantly bitter coffee jelly accompanied by cream—to the wintertime Akabara ("Red Rose"), finished with raspberry sauce.
The toast menu is equally inviting, pairing well with freshly baked, aromatic bread. Cinnamon-scented toast comes topped with whipped cream piped into the shape of a rose, blending rich sweetness with spiced warmth. Crispy toast with strawberry jam spreads bright fruit flavor across the palate, while comforting savory staples like egg sandwiches, egg toast, and meat sauce spaghetti make the cafe a reliable choice for a more substantial meal.
Drinks for a leisurely cafe break include vibrant cream sodas, with syrup options extending beyond classic melon to apricot and Kyoho grape. The apricot soda offers a pleasantly crisp tang, while homemade ginger ale and winter-limited marshmallow milk provide varied sips suited to the season or mood.
Lined with nostalgic knickknacks spanning the Showa and Heisei eras, the compact interior has limited seating—ideal for those looking to stop by unhurriedly whenever they need a quiet breath.
