Breakfast in Shimokita – Mixture Bakery

by Matthew Posted on May 12, 2018

Our first breakie in Japan. We stumbled on this lovely little cafe/bakery in Shimokitazawa called Mixture. The place was very cozy and the staff were friendly and it seemed to be popular with locals as we didn’t see any other gaijin/gweilos/farang/whities while we were there. The coffee was actually pretty terrible but the grub was good.

If you want to be like us and go there yourself, here’s the address: 3 Chome-31-5 Kitazawa, Setagaya-ku, Tōkyō-to 155-0031, Japan

Coffee and Cameras | 02

Coffee and Cameras, Fuji Superia Venus 800

One of the nice things we like to do is wander around taking photos and then stop somewhere for a coffee. Here we stopped at Second Draft a pub / craft beer bar in Tai Hang.

Tai Hang is an area bordering Causeway Bay and Tin Hau and is supposed to be up and coming. It hasn’t really got going yet though as bars and restaurants seem to close as often as they open. Rents are to blame, obviously.

Emily was playing with the Hasselblad on this day as well.

Uppark House Cafe, Fuji Pro 800Z

by Matthew Posted on August 6, 2017

We spent another day doing nice things – this time we visited Uppark, an 18th Century English country house owned by the National Trust. Some later additions to the property were 2 pavilions, one of which now operates as a lovely cafe serving cream teas – there’s a huge lawn at the front overlooking the South Downs with some lovely views. Unfortunately is was a bit chilly and it started to rain so we couldn’t sit outside and enjoy the view from the lawn – next time.

Chu Chu, Cafe, Konica Minolta Centuria Super 400

Chu Chu and Matty went for some coffee at Le Pain Quotidien in Wan Chai. Ok coffee in some over-sized cups and a comfy chair. We had some average carrot cake as well. Not bad overall.
