About this place
Made with thick slices of bread, the French toast is a tempting choice when you’re in the mood for something sweet at Coffee Perch. Diners have described it in different ways: crisp and fragrant on the outside, hot and fluffy within, or smooth and melting, like custard. Some find it not overly sweet, and enjoy adding maple syrup to taste or ordering it with vanilla ice cream.
The menu information lists French toast as available after 14:00, with vanilla ice cream as an extra for 100 yen. However, some diners say they asked for it when ordering, while another reports being served it when the café was quiet because it takes time to prepare. If you have your heart set on it, check the day’s menu before choosing.
For breakfast, there’s toast and coffee. One diner enjoyed almond toast with scrambled eggs and yoghurt as part of the morning set, appreciating the simple flavours of the eggs and yoghurt alongside the fragrant toast. Another also liked the almond toast, while a diner who couldn’t get their first choice opted for a potato-salad toast sandwich instead. It’s worth checking which toast options are available before you order.
For a smaller sweet treat, the menu information also includes an anko-and-butter sandwich and a fruit sandwich. Dessert options include pound cake, which changes from time to time, and coffee jelly topped with vanilla ice cream and coffee syrup. If you’re undecided, ask what cake is available that day.
The menu information lists Perch’s special spicy curry with a salad; a fried egg can be added for 50 yen and a sausage for 150 yen. Diners have also enjoyed ordering ham-and-cheese toast, croque monsieur and egg sandwiches, so there are options beyond the sweet dishes.
The drinks list includes blended coffee, iced coffee and iced tea, served plain, with milk or with lemon. They’re easy companions to either toast or dessert. One visitor notes that dishes are made to order and may take a little time, so this is a place to settle in and choose at an unhurried breakfast or afternoon café stop.
