About this place
If you’re stopping by for something sweet, the pudding à la mode makes a memorable choice. Visitors have enjoyed its old-fashioned, firm-set pudding served in a silver dish, paired with bittersweet caramel and vanilla ice cream. It sounds just right with a coffee for a restful break. Reviews also mention the coffee jelly’s bean-shaped appearance and its texture: it holds its shape but melts smoothly in the mouth. You can adjust the balance of ice cream and whipped cream to your liking, making it a good option when you fancy something different from pudding.
Coffee is the focus of the drinks menu, with choices including the coffee of the day and the lightly roasted Wakaba Blend and medium-dark-roasted Shinrin Blend. Menu information lists some drinks at 500 yen each, while a café latte is 600 yen. One reviewer appreciated the large glass of café latte; it could accompany something sweet or take centre stage during a drinks break.
For a meal, there are several pasta dishes to choose from. The Japanese-style butter-and-soy-sauce pasta with mushrooms, chicken breast and spinach is described on the menu as comforting, while the seafood peperoncino keeps things simple, letting garlic and chilli stand out. The beef 100% Bolognese offers another direction among 3 options, so you can pick what suits your mood. Menu information lists each dish at 800 yen.
For an early start, morning sets are available from 9 to 12. Choose butter-and-jam toast or butter-sugar toast, with a drink such as hot or iced coffee or one of the sodas; menu information lists both sets at 600 yen. At lunchtime, lighter options include a plate with an egg, ham and cucumber sandwich, salad and yoghurt, or a pizza-toast plate.
The café has dine-in seating near the stadium’s north exit and also offers takeaway. Whether you’re after coffee and dessert or a meal of toast or pasta, the menu offers options to suit the time of day and your appetite.
