01 / ABOUT THE PLACE
About this place
Strolling down Sugamo's bustling Jizo-dori shopping street, LONE Sugamo provides a welcoming refuge whenever you want to step away from the crowds and catch your breath. Steeped in the classic atmosphere of a traditional Japanese kissaten, the interior is wrapped in calm, muted tones, making it an inviting perch during a neighborhood walk or for a quiet solo afternoon.
Freshly Baked Waffles and House-Made Confections with Coffee
For visitors with an eye for sweets, the waffles baked fresh to order are not to be missed. The selection adapts easily to your mood, spanning a mixed berry waffle combining crisp, fragrant batter with fruit and whipped cream, a caramel banana waffle layered with mellow sweetness, or a simpler serving finished with your choice of maple or honey-lemon sauce. The cafe sweets menu extends well beyond waffles, featuring a pleasantly bittersweet, refreshing house-made coffee jelly, traditional cream anmitsu with agar jelly and sweet red bean paste, a two-layer Hokkaido cheese cake 2, and an apple tart.
Single-Origin Beans and Classic Cafe Fare
Alongside its signature house blend, the coffee lineup features a robust roster of single-origin brews, including Kilimanjaro, Mandheling, Mocha, Toraja, and Blue Mountain. In classic kissaten fashion, diners can also opt for a generous American coffee served in an oversized morning mug, or a rich Vienna coffee crowned with whipped cream.
When it comes time for something heartier, the savoury menu delivers reliable comfort. Options include beloved standards such as spaghetti Napolitan and meat sauce pasta, alongside thick-cut pizza toast and B.L.T. sandwiches. The curry selection is equally varied, ranging from an aromatic, tangy chicken curry and a rich pork curry to a vegetable and chickpea curry packed with ingredients, making the cafe just as dependable for lunch as for a light bite.
Whether you are cradling a hot mug between neighborhood strolls or taking your time with a favorite confection, this kissaten lets you settle comfortably into Sugamo's gentle pace.
