Cafe de Relache

For a robust cup, consider the strong-type Relache Blend. One diner described its deep-roast flavour as rich and full-bodied. There are also single-origin coffees, including Mandheling and Yemen Mocha Matari, each with its own character. If you’re more interested in the brewing method, try Dutch coffee: it is brewed with water over 8 hours, and the menu describes it as clear in flavour with a distinctive aroma. Quantities are limited, so it may be sold out.

For something to eat, choose pizza toast or cheese toast. One diner enjoyed pizza toast with cocoa, while another paired cheese toast with Cafe Scow, a coffee drink topped with whipped cream. Toast makes a good lunch alongside the bitterness of coffee. Diners have also praised the flavour and satisfying portion of the toasted sandwiches. Options include roast ham and corned beef, making these a better choice when you want a meal with your drink rather than just a light bite. Sandwiches have been reported sold out, however, so check availability on the day if you have one in mind.

Add cake for something sweet, or try the tea, which is served in a French press; one diner appreciated being served a generous amount. Cafe de Relache in Hatsudai offers choices for a coffee-focused stop or a break over toast and cake. Payment is cash only.
