abientot

Awhile back, we checked out Abientot for breakfast, but their service started at 9:00 am...since then, they've changed it to 7:30 am and lunch is served at 11:00 am.

Last Saturday was a beautiful sunny day. We took the train to Makiochi then walked to the cafe.

Satoshi didn't want to try their set meals and opted for 2 sandwiches and coffee 873 yen (about US$8.73) instead.

I chose their tartine set 600 yen (about US$6), this came with a salad, yogurt, the veggie tartine and a drink (I chose iced coffee).

The portions were just right for me and the tartine was delicious, like a veggie pizza. A slice of baguette topped with pesto and anchovy paste then topped with veggies and cheese.

I wouldn't mind trying their other choices for breakfast. Hope we can go back soon.

UPDATE: as of 2/2012, they do not longer have breakfast or lunch service, instead you can purchase various breads and eat in their dining area.

  1. Wow, that looks yummy! Taking a train to get to an eating place . . . such a different lifestyle from Hawaii's.

  3. Wow, 873 Yen.. That's really random. Does it add up to a round number after sales tax? (book store style) The meal looks really great. I miss the trains!
