A nice cafe bar with modern interior that makes you forget you are in the middle of the dirty and crowded Ikebukuro on a weekend evening. 4 of us were in the mood for cakes besides cocktails. At first we didn’t expect the quality of the cakes to be that high since afterall it was a bar. But the cakes we ordered were all so nice!!! I had the blue cheese cake and it had the richest blue cheese flavour I had ever tasted! Also the cakes were all very reasonably priced. The cocktails were good and inexpensive too. This place was really a nice surprise.
