Dina and I had a few errands to accomplish in Kamakura today and decided while we were there we should have lunch and coffee. We walked around looking for a spot to eat that wasn’t super busy during lunch time. Good luck. Ha!
We found a nice Italian place on the second floor of a building. That is a secret to finding a place to eat, by the way. Look up. If you only focus on the restaurants on street level you will find crowded restaurants. Look up and you will see many restaurants with ample available seating. We ordered a set lunch which included a salad and crab pasta.
Here was my salad.
Looks nice, right. Until you realize those are “bait fish” on top. Ugh. No where did on the broken English menu did it say bait fish. Fortunately, the taste better than corn and the salad was tiny.
The pasta and crab was just as described. And tasted pretty good.
For dessert, we opted for a special princess coffee from Cafe Sizuku. What is a princess coffee, you ask. Well, it is exactly that, a coffee with a character drawn on top. Dina received her cafe mocha first. It had Mickey.
When my caramel latte arrived it had Minnie! Kawaii!
They were drawn so they faced one another.
Who knew coffee could be so cute!?!
When you visit, I promise we will go to the “princess coffee” place. Also, for my cat loving friends, while we were walking around Kamakura we realized there is a cat cafe in Kamakura!! It is actually owned by the same people as the princess coffee, I think. In the restroom of Cafe Sikuku was an advertisement for a cat cafe located across the street. No worries, I will investigate further and report back!
