My husband said, "There's a cafe where you can drink 1800 yen coffee, and I want to try it," so we went to check it out. The location is close to Kichijoji Station's Park Exit, with a decent amount of foot traffic. I was surprised to find a cafe that seemed like a time warp on a street I had passed by many times. At 12:30 on a weekday, there was one group of customers waiting in front. The interior of the cafe was not very spacious. To accommodate the waiting customers, the menu was displayed outside, allowing us to decide on our order while waiting. The colorful cream sodas caught my eye. I had seen them on Instagram, and they really stand out! After about a 10-minute wait, we entered the cafe. The vertically long interior was dimly lit, with antique furniture giving it a space that felt far removed from the hustle and bustle of Kichijoji. Oh, that pigeon clock, I had one at home... so nostalgic! The shop cards also had a retro vibe. We ordered the Lapis Lazuli cream soda (such a lovely name), Geisha coffee, lobster tomato cream pasta, and the ultimate pudding. How could I resist ordering something called the ultimate pudding?! The 1800 yen coffee used a bean called Geisha. The cup and saucer were also quite elegant. I'm not a fan of black coffee, but I took a sip... oh, I might be able to drink this. It's not overly bitter, and there's no unpleasant aftertaste. I could clearly taste the difference from the coffees I've had before. However, whether I would want to drink it again at this price is another story. The Lapis Lazuli cream soda was surprisingly voluminous! The ice cream was as big as a softball... but it was delicious! The carbonation wasn't too strong, making it easy to drink. I'd love to share and try different cream sodas. And that pasta was absolutely delicious! It's tomato-based, but the cream and shrimp are more like the stars. The soup was incredibly tasty, with a strong shrimp flavor and a smooth texture. I could drink it all up. We shared a plate, but I could have finished it all by myself. This is a must-try dish! Lunchtime comes with a salad and a choice of tea or coffee. Lastly, we tried the ultimate pudding that had caught our eye on the menu. It's a rich and creamy pudding. Is it loaded with whipped cream? The caramel's bitterness is also well-balanced. It's a bit sweet, so it might go well with tea or coffee. I can see why they call it the ultimate... I could really feel the dedication put into it. I now understand why this cafe is so popular. I definitely want to visit again, it's like a different world in Kichijoji. Personally, I liked that the outfits of the working ladies, although probably their own clothes, had a chic feel that suited the cafe well.

Yuriapemperu at Kichijoji Station South Exit. The Park Road is brightly lit with illuminations, making it look like a lively drinking street. I decided to visit Yuriapemperu at 19:30, even though they were closing at 20:00 and had stopped serving meals. It seems that their reduced hours are due to the impact of the pandemic. It had been decades since I last entered a restaurant without waiting in line. Inside, there were few customers sitting at tables bathed in the light of Art Nouveau lamps. I ordered a French coffee blend from the four options available, served in vintage Kutani porcelain cups. The cafe, which opened in 1976, is a nostalgic place where I used to spend my weekends when I first moved to the Chuo Line area. It used to stay open late, but now it closes early, prompting some customers to leave disappointed. The atmosphere was much calmer back then, with Park Road being darker and quieter.

I visited the cafe around 8:00 PM on Friday. It has a lovely atmosphere. The Gâteau au Chocolat for 650 yen was rich and delicious! The Cheesecake for 650 yen was also very tasty. The Brazilian dish for 700 yen was a bit bitter. The Café au Lait for 750 yen was a good deal with two pots. Thank you for the meal!

A very charming shop. The posters, such as those of Toulouse-Lautrec, add a nice touch. - Orders and Impressions - Yuriapemperu's pudding ★ x5 - Rich and nostalgic pudding Cafe au lait ★ x4 - Coffee and milk served separately in a pot, great deal Kilimanjaro ★ x4 - Sour coffee, delicious!

Just a 2-minute walk from Kichijoji Station, this retro-style café exudes a nostalgic atmosphere. Inside, you'll find Art Nouveau lamps and a dial-up telephone, creating a special ambiance. The menu items I tried were French coffee and a Yuriam Pemperu pudding. The rectangular-shaped pudding has a firm texture and is topped with a caramel sauce that complements the sweet flavor. If you have a sweet tooth, adding the whipped cream provided would be just right. I visited around 2 pm on a weekend and was lucky to get a seat without waiting, but the place seemed to be constantly full. It's recommended to go early, but the fact that they stay open late is also a plus. This café is perfect for enjoying a dessert after a meal. They also have a branch in Kamakura, so I'll try that next time.

I entered the store around 5:30 pm. The seats were about half empty, and I was seated at a table on the second floor. The interior of the cafe was like a vintage shop in France, and I felt it would be suitable for a girls' gathering. The menu and dishes had a cute image. I ordered the signature cream soda and cake. It was a bit disappointing that they were sold out of sandwiches, as I originally wanted to order one for dinner. The atmosphere of the restaurant was nice, and the staff were friendly, but I felt the menu was a bit lacking. I might come back with friends if I invite them.

On Saturday afternoon around 1pm, there was only one group of customers waiting... It was tough under the scorching 36-degree heat with no shade. After waiting for about 10 minutes, we were guided to the second floor. I tried the classic cream soda "Lapis Lazuli" and the pudding at Yuriapemperu. The pudding was rich and had the perfect firmness, it was delicious!

I had Genovese pasta and pudding♪ The Genovese pasta was a bit rich in flavor, which was good at first but felt a bit heavy towards the end (^_^;) It seems like it's not a menu that's available all year round, so next time I might try something from the sandwich section. The pudding was perfect with its firmness, smoothness, and delicious sweetness that seeped through, I couldn't help but applaud in my mind (*＾▽＾*) This is delicious! The retro vibe of the restaurant is also nice, and I think it's a sure bet for people who like this type of old-school café (*^▽^)/★*☆♪ Personally, I was really impressed by the spinning public telephone, it was so nostalgic haha

* Mentaiko cream pasta Just a 2-minute walk from Kichijoji Station, you can enjoy a meal at a stylish cafe. Every time you walk past the front of the store, you feel like going in. The interior and exterior are both meticulously designed, making it a wonderful place. Not only is it stylish, but the food is also delicious. It's a great place to just enjoy a coffee or go for a meal! A wonderful place to visit at various times!

I went at 8pm on a regular day, but they were out of rice and curry was sold out (´・ω・｀). So I just ordered a cream soda. This one looks different, right? It's made with pomegranate and ginger ale! The amount of ice cream on top is generous and that makes me happy (*´ｪ`*). The retro and fairytale-like interior, along with the cute cream soda, makes it seem like the perfect place for a girls' chat♪ ↑ Well, I was alone though...

In front of Kichijoji Station, there is a coffee shop that has been around for over 45 years. While there are many coffee shops serving pasta and other dishes, what caught my eye was the cream soda. When it was brought to me, I was surprised by the unexpectedly large size of the ice cream. It was about the size of a baseball, densely packed and not soft. It was not easy to eat with a spoon, but I persevered without waiting for it to melt. I felt very satisfied after finishing it. The blue color of the soda was also quite beautiful.

I visited a stylish cafe with a Showa retro atmosphere because I wanted to drink cream soda. There was a long line in front of the shop, but surprisingly, I was able to get in quickly (I think I waited about 10 minutes). The shop had two floors, and this time I was directed to the second floor. I ordered a pomegranate soda. I was surprised to see a vanilla ice cream that was as big as my face!! The red color of the pomegranate mixed with the vanilla ice cream and turned pink, which was very cute. It tasted more like the strawberry syrup on shaved ice than pomegranate (very sweet!). I want to try other items on the menu, so I would like to visit again. (There was a restroom nearby, but every time a customer entered or exited, a foul smell lingered, which was the only disappointing thing.)

Instagram popular and talked about place, so we lined up for quite a while on the weekend. We got a seat near the restroom and could smell it the whole time, which was pretty funny. The cream soda, which is popular and famous, was as big as a face and delicious. However, the inside of the store was so cold due to the air conditioning, and even though it was freezing, we had cold drinks and ice cream, which made my stomach ache. Almost everyone ordered the cream soda, which seems to be popular, so I thought it might be better to make it a little cooler.

Visit on June 14, 2023. Located just a minute's walk from Kichijoji Station Park Exit. It seems like a fairy-tale themed cafe based on the world of Kenji Miyazawa's fairy tales, which seems a bit mismatched for an old guy like me (laughs), but I just had to come to Kichijoji to see it. Arrived around 5:20 PM. Perhaps because it was a weekday, there was no long line, and it felt calm. From the outside, you can already sense a slightly fairy-tale atmosphere. I timidly entered, and a young male staff welcomed me and I was able to sit at a table on the first floor. All the customers I saw seemed to be women. I thought maybe there would only be young female staff in this kind of place, but the good-looking male staff put me at ease (laughs). Later, a female staff member came down from the second floor in a maid-like outfit, which suited the atmosphere of the cafe. I ordered an Iced Cafe au Lait for 700 yen and a Mont Blanc for 600 yen. The interior is surrounded by Western-style antique furniture, but there is also a pink rotary phone in front of me, giving it a retro cafe with a mix of Japanese and Western elements, where even an old guy like me can relax. It was served in about 5 minutes. I was mesmerized by the beauty of the Mont Blanc for a while. The chestnut mousse was smooth and even more delicious than I imagined. It was a cafe where even an old guy like me could immerse himself in the world of fairy tales. It was a nice experience.

Visit on Saturday evening, 3 minutes walk from Kichijoji Park Exit, no reservation needed so I was worried about getting a seat but was able to enter without waiting in line! The atmosphere is relaxed with groups of girls and students enjoying their meals. The cream soda was very cute.

Yuriape Muperu: Cream soda with oversized ice cream, the last sip is like a training session... The retro interior of the shop is very cozy ❤️ There are 11 different types of cream soda to choose from, it's hard to decide... I tried the lychee-flavored one called "Mizuiro no Shoujo." The pudding is thick and rich, I'm already full. When you go, it's best to either come on an empty stomach or share your order with someone.

I want more parks in Tokyo! Pre-information: - Tabelog score: 3.54 (May 2023) - Genre: Cafe Overall impression: The cafe offers visually appealing drinks, including a luxurious 1800 yen coffee, delicious sweets, and a menu that caters to various preferences. I personally prefer focusing on taste, so I enjoyed the pudding, but the cream soda was just okay. It seems that the curry, as mentioned in previous reviews, is cute and delicious. It's great that they are open late! Items tried: - Basil chicken sandwich set (1280 yen) - Pomegranate cream soda (800 yen) - Pudding (580 yen, 50 yen discount when ordered with a drink) - Iced cafe au lait (700 yen) Basil chicken sandwich set: A dish that seems like something a woman on a diet would eat. The bread was okay, probably made with a slightly better quality bread. The chicken was very light, probably chicken breast. The set comes with coffee or tea. Pomegranate cream soda: The focus here is on the visual presentation rather than the taste. The portion size is generous, but the ice cream used tasted like a commercial vanilla ice cream, light and not very rich. The soda tasted like carbonated syrup mixed with shaved ice. Pudding: This was really good! Delicious and with a firm texture, it had a substantial and rich flavor. Iced cafe au lait: I didn't try this, so I can't comment on it. Atmosphere: The interior was dimly lit and had a retro feel. The first-floor window seats offer a clear view from the outside. There is also a second floor. Crowdedness: It was crowded, with many young girls, seemingly attracted by the cafe's Instagram-worthy ambiance. Service: Since it was close to closing time, the staff seemed tired. They were not overly energetic, which was better than being too loud. Solo female experience: Easy difficulty level! Preference: I prefer drinking Strong Zero in a park rather than at a cafe.

Today's 6th meal is a drink and pudding to finish off without any jokes, so I visited "Yuriapemperu". They stay open late and it's very convenient! Most of the customers are girls. The first floor was full so I was seated on the second floor. Here's what I ordered: Pomegranate Cream Soda 800 yen Pudding 530 yen (Drink set: -50 yen) Iced Cafe au Lait 700 yen Basil Chicken Sandwich Set 1280 yen ☆ Pomegranate Cream Soda A soda with a rich orange color and lots of cream. The taste is as expected, nothing out of the ordinary! A very Instagrammable drink! If you order a few in different colors and line them up, it will look great! ☆ Pudding I ordered this because I read good reviews about the firm pudding, and it was the right choice! It's really delicious! I like firm pudding! It has a vanilla flavor with vanilla beans! I would give it a rating of 3.8! ☆ Basil Chicken Sandwich Set A sandwich with light chicken. It feels like it's good for a diet. The taste is average. ☆ Iced Cafe au Lait Just a regular iced cafe au lait! Maybe because it was close to closing time, but the young staff member's energy was lacking. About half of the staff in ramen shops need a Genki Dama (energy ball)! The interior is stylish with an antique feel. I left the restaurant early, but the first floor was still full of customers taking their time. Thank you for the meal! After that, I sweated for an hour at chocoZAP in Kinshicho and then went back to the hotel. I gained 1kg each day from eating too much.

On Saturday afternoon, I waited for 30 minutes. The place was two stories tall with a retro atmosphere. I had the pudding and caramel toast, the pudding was rich and creamy. The caramel toast was crispy and I could eat as much as I wanted. It was worth the wait. I want to try other desserts next time.

The lunch set included a Smiley Chicken Curry (1280 yen), a Pastrami Beef Sandwich (1280 yen), and Shrimp, Squid, and Scallop with Provence Herb and Lemon Flavor (1380 yen). The antique atmosphere was stylish and relaxing. The lunch set came with a salad and a choice of coffee or tea. Each dish was carefully presented on unique plates, showing attention to detail. Everything was delicious, but the Chicken Curry had an ethnic flair that I particularly enjoyed!

Located near the station, Retro Cafe Kichijoji is right outside the ticket gate at Kichijoji Station, making it easily accessible. This time, I had the Bacon and Mushroom Cream Pasta for lunch, which was very satisfying with its generous portion. I was drawn to the fairytale-like Western atmosphere inside the cafe, and had a great time experiencing something out of the ordinary. Highly recommended.
