Gen's Cafe

For a substantial start to the day, the A Set pairs toast and egg with a mini salad, fruit and a choice of coffee, tea or milk. The B Set puts egg toast at the centre, with the same sides and drink options. Menu information lists both at ¥450; the café opens at 7 in the morning. Breakfast diners have described the morning set as just the right size, while others have found the hot sandwich a satisfying breakfast.

Beyond breakfast, there are lighter options such as egg and mixed sandwiches, as well as cheese toast. The menu also lists cheese toast with a mini salad. For a more substantial meal, choose omelette rice, Napolitan spaghetti or dry curry. One diner enjoyed omelette rice with hot coffee, a pairing that suits a leisurely meal with a drink.

Coffee choices include blend, Americano and café au lait, as well as Viennese coffee. Diners have praised the depth of flavour in the siphon-brewed coffee, and one described the mixed juice as having an old-fashioned taste. Others have enjoyed banana juice with pancakes, making this a pleasant spot for a sweet café break, too.

The café is described as having a quiet atmosphere and is presented as suitable for dining alone. Takeaway is available alongside eat-in service. Hours are 7 to 17 Tuesday to Friday and 7 to 16 on Saturday and Sunday. Payment is cash only, so come prepared.
