01 / ABOUT THE PLACE
About this place
Head up the stairs and you step into a comfortable space that quietly reflects the legacy of the historic cycle shop below. Located on the 2nd floor of Yokoo Bicycles in Higashi-Ueno, Yokoo Cafe offers a relaxed setting where bicycle frames and components subtly accent the room.
Thoughtfully Prepared Lunch Dishes
The lunch menu balances lighter choices with hearty, satisfying meals. Options include aromatic penne tossed in homemade basil sauce, a savoury pizza topped with generous melted cheese and smoked bacon, and seasonal specials such as butter chicken curry loaded with tender chunks of meat. Simpler bites like a basil chicken sandwich and a salad served with sliced baguette let diners tailor the meal to their appetite.
Afternoons with Coffee and Dessert
For an afternoon break or an after-lunch drink, the cafe pours its signature house blend, cold-brewed iced coffee, and cafe lattes. The broader beverage list also covers hot teas, green tea, and refreshing soft drinks such as green apple ginger, made with ginger ale and 100% apple juice. Paired with sweets like a smooth chocolate pudding or chiffon cake, settling into a seat here offers a peaceful pause away from the bustle of the city.
