Pierrot Coffee

For a more substantial meal, try the homemade waterless curry rice. One diner described it as a dish with a sweetness from the vegetables that left them wanting more. For something lighter, choose a hot sandwich: the menu offers relish, ham and cheese, or waterless curry and cheese. You can enjoy the curry with rice or in a cheese-filled sandwich, depending on what you feel like eating.

The espresso shake is another option for coffee lovers. A repeat visitor picked it as a favourite, comparing it with the regular espresso. For a sweet drink, there are also wasanbon matcha and roasted green tea shakes. If you want a twist on a coffee-shop classic, consider the café mocha, honey cappuccino or chai café. One diner said the chai latte was delicious; another, visiting with a friend, ordered a chai latte and an Americano to enjoy with hot sandwiches. A review also praised the cocoa-powder art on a café mocha, which brought a clown’s face to mind. It’s a playful touch for a drink with a little character.

Pierrot Coffee serves more than daytime meals: in the evening, you can pair drinks with small plates. The menu includes homemade pickles and snack-size waterless curry, as well as Heartland beer, highballs and Kinmiya shochu mixed with green tea. These offer a different way to enjoy the café from coffee and shakes. Eat in or take your order away; it works for a day when you want a hot sandwich and coffee at a table, or something easy to take with you.
