Located in the Fashion Walk area of Causeway Bay, the new branch is an actual restaurant. Along with coffee and their famous ice cream sandwiches, they also serve ice cream and actual meals. They have plenty of seating and al fresco dining as well.
I came for lunch to try it out. Menu is in English only. During lunch session, they have a special lunch promo where you add $25, you can order a coffee or ice cream, specialty coffee is an added $40. There is no 10% service charge.
Sake Soy Roasted Chicken Rice ($85). The chicken was moist and not dry though it was a bit too sweet. It was topped with an onsen egg, a side of salad with sesame dressing and pickles. All in the same bowl that housed tasty Japanese rice. The dish was cold so mixing the raw egg made it even colder. I didn't like the idea of putting my salad on top of all this so I couldn't mix my egg properly into the rice. Overall, it was ok. It wasn't great and I most likely wouldn't order this again. Didn't seem very value for money.
Latte ($25). Originally $40, you get a discount during lunch time. I always liked their coffee. This was nice and smelled wonderful. There was the right balance of milk to coffee.
Japanese Taro Ice Cream ($40). Boyfriend didn't want lunch so he ordered an ice cream. I liked it. The ice cream was smooth and creamy. The taste of taro was strong. Some crispy taro chips were tossed on top.
Service was friendly. Though they did mess up on our bill. They under charged us by only thinking we ordered coffee and nothing else. It's a good thing I'm an honest person so pointed it out to them otherwise I could have just walked out paying $40 instead of $150 that should have been the bill. I would return again but only order ice cream and coffee. A nice place for me to hang out after work.
