Soothing for both mind and body♪
A “Japanese-style affogato” with perfectly balanced sweetness
A must-try when you visit “B Café & Lab” is the “Japanese-style affogato” (750 yen), topped with homemade soft shiratama mochi and mildly sweetened azuki beans with vanilla ice cream.
Pour warm espresso over it to your liking, and the gentle flavor where the ice cream’s sweetness and the espresso’s bitterness blend perfectly is sure to soothe both mind and body.
If children will be eating, you can order it without espresso. Enjoy a relaxing treat together as parent and child♪ (Espresso can be changed to decaf free of charge)
Recommended even for kids who dislike vegetables♪
