POKOTABI / PLACES WORTH A DETOUR
Café Picnic
POKOTABIJust steps from Keio Line Daitabashi Station, Café Picnic pairs an indoor artificial-turf lounge with soft omurice, baked doria, freshly made waffles, tarts, and an extensive tea selection.
01 / ABOUT THE PLACE
Step inside the dining room, and your eyes are immediately drawn past the regular table seating to a raised platform covered in bright artificial turf. Living up to the name Café Picnic, the playful setup lets guests lounge indoors as if picnicking on a lawn. Removing your shoes offers a welcome break from the surrounding city bustle, setting an easygoing, tranquil mood.
The food menu is anchored by comforting café fare, including soft omurice finished with a generous layer of creamy scrambled egg. Options span saucy plates layered with mushrooms and rich demi-glace, bubbling basil chicken and mushroom doria straight from the oven, spiced chicken curry, and seasoned taco rice. At lunchtime, diners can round out their meal with flexible sets combining side dishes, drinks, and mini desserts to suit any appetite.
Handmade desserts keep things sweet long after the plates are cleared. The baked goods are thoughtfully portioned into compact, manageable servings, including flaky tarts filled with naturally sweet chestnut pumpkin or smooth ganache and sliced banana, alongside spiced carrot cake topped with creamy frosting. Freshly baked waffles are another staple for sweet tooths, served either with homemade Earl Grey syrup or dressed in a rich salted caramel sauce made with French rock salt.
The beverage lineup is just as broad. Alongside crisp iced coffee balancing a clean, pleasant bitterness, the kitchen brews rich spice chai and British-style royal milk tea simmered slowly in small saucepans. Tea enthusiasts will find plenty of variety among the herbal infusions and fruit blends, while a bubbly soda made with house-infused plum and red shiso syrup provides a fragrant, refreshing alternative depending on the weather and mood.
With dedicated kids' sets featuring mild curries and lightly seasoned mini omurice, the space welcomes parents with young children just as comfortably as solo guests lingering through a quiet afternoon. Settle into the calm surroundings with a hot, freshly cooked meal and a warm pot of tea.
