Our Newest Addition

You guys! Hey! Hey! You guys!  

...

There's a new cafe in Yokosuka!  

{And the crowd goes wild!  Aaaaaaahhhhh!}

Ok, maybe that's a little much. But let me tell you that this cafe is capital-G great. Great. GREAT! You know that corner across from Daiei Mall? Right on the tip of the Honch and basically the first thing you see when you come into the city? Where there used to be a men's clothing store that no one ever went into? Well BOOM, it's now a coffee shop, ready to welcome you to sweet little Yokosuka. Come on in. Stay awhile.

Ok, that was cheesy. But you can't hate me for it.

This shop is Mikasa Cafe. It just opened a few weeks ago, and we took our first excursion there last weekend. We were absorbed in the tone almost instantly. It has a modern cozy chic kind of feel, and if you could drink up the atmosphere alone, it would be mighty tasty. 

The cafe has good offerings too. Coffee and pastries, of course, along with a few meal sets. But they also serve a few characteristic beers. We didn't partake - coffee was on our minds - but we were still impressed by what they had to offer, and would definitely spend an evening there.

They also sell Navy Curry. In a can.

The coffee was pretty good. Very enjoyable. My only critique was that it wasn't consistent with the tone of the shop itself. My iced mocha was really sweet - delicious, yes - but after walking into a place that felt very mature and modern, my mind was set up to drink something bitter, something had coffee written all over it. Sweet didn't feel right sitting where I was, surrounded by earthy tones and modern motif. Coherent? Make sense? I hope so.

Still, the coffee was delicious. Just not Barista Champion delicious. Would we recommend this cafe? Absolutely. It is a worthy addition to Yokosuka, and you bet your ace we'll be going there again.
