Shimada Café: A Serene Escape in the Heart of Tokyo

If you find yourself wandering the charming streets of Kagurazaka, make sure to seek out Shimada Café, a delightful haven for food lovers and relaxation seekers alike. Nestled on the third floor of a picturesque terrace, this cozy café exudes a warm ambiance that invites you to unwind and indulge in a culinary experience that you won't soon forget.

The café specializes in exquisite French toast creations, prominent among which is the 神楽坂フレンチトースト 焼きリンゴと自家製チーズクリーム (¥1,200). Each bite of this dish is a heavenly affair, where the crispy exterior gives way to a luscious custard-like center that melts in your mouth. The subtle sweetness of caramelized apple perfectly complements the rich, homemade cheese cream, making it a standout choice for anyone with a penchant for comfort food.

For those looking to savor something heartier, the 牛スジシチューのオムライス (¥1,100) offers a unique twist that combines fluffy omelet rice with indulgent beef stew — an embodiment of the phrase "delicious plus delicious equals delightful." With each mouthful, the rich flavors unite in a harmonious culinary dance, ensuring that it not only fills you but also warms your soul.

What really sets Shimada Café apart, however, is not just the food, but the experiences shared within its walls. The tastefully decorated interior encourages conversation and reminiscence, as echoed by delighted customers. アイランド extols the excellent customer service and stylish ambiance, while Fabien raves about the café's brunch offerings, asserting that the Egg Benedict paired beautifully with the exquisite French toast. The cozy atmosphere is perfect for catching up with friends or simply enjoying a quiet moment of solitude.

If you’re on a quest for not just a meal, but a memorable outing, Shimada Café offers both the charm of a local gem and the quality of a renowned dining establishment. Don’t miss out on this culinary treasure tucked away in the vibrant streets of Kagurazaka!

One of the best brunch in Tokyo! The Egg Benedict was delicious, the sauce was perfect. The French toast melts in your mouth like a pudding. The taste of the dishes felt more elaborate than in other places. The staff was friendly, the place is cozy.

Had the strawberry compote french toast from the lunch menu! The cafe was behind the main Kagurazaka street and on the third floor so its a little hard to find. Came here after reading website that recommended this place~ The ambience is really nice to chill, the playlist is The decorations in the cafe are relaxing too The french toast was really good! Its crispy on the outside but the inside melts in your mouth. Having them with the ice cream was really good! The staff are really friendly too! Definitely a 100% recommendation! Would come back here again
