01 / ABOUT THE PLACE
About this place
A display case filled with home-baked treats greets visitors stepping into Micky's Cafe, set back in a quiet residential corner of Hongo. The house specialty is cherry pie, packed edge to edge with sweet-tart fruit beneath a tender crust. A dollop of light, gently sweet whipped cream balances the bright acidity, keeping every bite refreshing right to the finish. Beyond the cherry pie, the counter features a shifting selection of comforting homemade sweets, from a bright lemon pie topped with airy meringue and a rich pumpkin pie to seasonal tarts, chiffon cakes, and scones.
Light Meals and a Relaxed Break
The menu also caters to lunchtime appetites with savory options like house-recipe curry and rice, mentaiko pilaf, and fragrant toasted cheese. Paired with freshly brewed blended coffee, an iced café au lait, or hot tea, these make for a satisfying lunch or an easy afternoon pause. With counter seats and small tables, the dining room has an unhurried, welcoming atmosphere well suited to dining alone in peace. Slices of pie and other baked goods can also be boxed up for takeout, making them an easy treat to bring home for afternoon tea.
