I'm really not much of a dessert eater, but this cake shop had always enticed me. I guess it was mainly the quiet, outside dining tables. 
Inside was nice as well. It was all white, very clean and clutter free. There was wood everywhere and a collection of jazz records displayed above the counter advertised what was playing in the background. In the dining area there is a long bench with 7 '2-top' tables. There is a dessert display case as you enter, and two more 'two tops' located in front of it.
I was surprised that the menu included some lunch items (available from 11am to 2pm):
*Bagel Sandwich Set (pumpkin and cream cheese sandwich with soup and coffee/tea) 1000 yen
*Bagel Sandwich Set 2 (spam, lettuce, tomato, & cheese sandwich w/ soup, coffee/tea) 1000 yen
*Quiche Set (quiche of the day with soup, salad, and coffee/tea) 1000 yen
The coffees, teas, and other drinks are in English and Japanese, but the lunch sets are only in Japanese (but there are photos).
Drink Menu:
Coffee, Espresso, Cappuccino, Cafe Caramel Mocha, Brown Sugar Green Tea Coffee Latte, Cafe Chai, Almond Au lait, Hand dripped iced coffee, Ice coffee latte. 500 to 600 yen
There is a wide assortment of teas, from 600 to 620 yen.
Juices (cranberry, hot lemonade, cranberry grapefruit, grapefruit, orange) 500 to 520 yen
