About this place
Tucked into the residential streets of Oyaguchikitacho, Itabashi, Y's cafe is a detached-house café set within a converted private home. Low sofa seating in the Japanese-style room sets an unhurried tone, making it an easy place to pause midway through a walk or drop by for a late-morning bite.
A longstanding favorite here is coffee freshly ground for each order. Hot and iced cups are served alongside a small sweet bite, and they pair naturally with baked treats like warm homemade cinnamon rolls. The wider drink selection covers citron tonic sodas, cream sodas, matcha au lait, and various shakes, giving plenty of options to match the day's mood.
For a heartier meal, the classic café food options are satisfyingly practical. Pizza toast, ham-and-cheese toasted sandwiches, shrimp pilaf, takana pickled mustard green pilaf, and dry curry can all be ordered as generous sets accompanied by soup, salad, and a choice of coffee or tea. A la carte ordering is also available, along with desserts such as thickly sliced honey toast, fruit sandwiches, and waffles topped with ice cream.
Payment can be made using QR code services including PayPay and Rakuten Pay. Run with a gentle, welcoming presence, this neighborhood spot offers a comfortable retreat for a quiet drink and a warm meal.
