JHONDEE COFFEE

A small cafe with capacity for about 10 inside. There are 2 terrace seats at the entrance — apparently dog-friendly. All the several kinds of Basque cheesecake are gluten-free. I was aiming for the New Year's "Wa-no-Basque," but the period had already ended, so I had the plain. Moisture, melt-in-mouth, firmness, sweetness — everything was just right. Even I, who usually don't take sweets, didn't find it too sweet, so I think it's modestly sweetened. The selling point seems to be the Basque cheesecake, but I want to especially mention the drinks 🥤 The iced almond milk latte was exactly to my taste ♪ Oat milk was also available. Incidentally, my usual drink at S**bucks is iced almond milk latte — only that. Even ordering daily at the same S**bucks branch, the flavor varies greatly, and I think it depends more on the barista's skill than on bean or milk conditions. Very rarely I encounter a truly blissful flavor, but this latte exceeded that! A blissful cup with the flavor I love like a cafe mocha ♡ Here the owner served alone, so unlike S**bucks I should get the same flavor every time! Both the bastci and the drinks — quality that makes me want to come often ✨ Waseda-dori has many shops in a row, but this one is just off the side street. Even though it's neighboring food spots, before and after are residential. Yet within walking distance of Waseda University, the inside was full of what looked like student groups at the time of my visit. Even on a very cold day (minimum temp below freezing, max in single digits), there were continuously what looked like working adults using the terrace seats — surprising. Many solo customers too, and likely many regulars — after finishing my food and drink, I could understand it all.
