Pelican Cafe Fruit Sandwich
I went to the popular Pelican Cafe!

"Pelican Cafe" where you can line up almost every day (Kuramae, Tokyo / Tawaramachi). It is a cafe format developed by the long-established store "Pelican of Bread" in Asakusa, Tokyo, and the shop is also nearby.

It's been half a year since it opened in the summer of last year (2017), so why not wait for it? I thought, I went to see it ... but I waited. However, it may be much better than when it first opened, which was waiting for a few hours!

So, we will deliver the latest waiting time of Pelican Cafe (as of February 2018) and the Tasting review of the popular menu!

cute…

◆ Recommended on weekday mornings

The shop opens at 8 am. When I went there before 10 am on weekdays, it was full! And there was already a set of customers lined up. However, he succeeded in entering the store with a waiting time of about 10 minutes.

After that, the number of customers increased one after another from around 11 o'clock, and there was a line of about 10 people outside. It's a lot more calm than right after the opening, but it's still crowded in the afternoon and afternoon, so it's a good idea to visit early in the morning!
