Takakura Machi

Great pancakes, cute atmosphere

Takakura Machi is another coffee/food chain that I like, because it has a good atmosphere, yummy food and reasonable prices. Their biggest drawcard is probably the ricotta pancakes - they're light, fluffy, and melt in your mouth good. Apart from the regular variation of their ricotta pancakes (which are amazing as they are), they also offer seasonal variations of them - for instance right now they have a summer mang version which looks phenomenal and is next on my "need to try" list! The coffee here is also excellent - my go-to when I stop by Takakura Machi is the Cafe Au Lait which they top with whipped cream and a delicious brown sugar syrup. Probably not the healthiest or most low calorie option, but if you're in the mood for a sweet caffeine pick me up this is a good choice. As well as the range of sweet offerings and coffees, they also have a savory food menu - predominantly salads, sandwiches and pasta dishes.
