01 / ABOUT THE PLACE
About this place
The fresh-cheese curry bun is Kimagure Cafe’s signature: chewy dough filled generously with curry and cheese. The menu says the dough gets its springy texture from deliberately skipping the second proof, and some diners have reported that the curry and cheese flowed out when they broke the bun open. With its crisp exterior and melted cheese, it is a natural first choice. One diner said they waited about 20 minutes while it was fried to order, so allow a little extra time.
For a comparison, try the bite-sized curry buns, available in 3 varieties: plain, spicy and cheese. Pick them as an easy snack or add the spicy version to explore the differences. They come in packs of 3 or 6 and are served in a purpose-made cup, making them handy for eating in or sharing as a souvenir.
To drink, there is coffee (550 yen) made with coffee ice cubes, and café au lait (600 yen), available sweetened or unsweetened. The coffee cubes help keep the drink from tasting diluted as they melt—a welcome option for taking your time over a freshly fried curry bun.
Eat in or take away. The cafe is open on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 9:30 to 18:00, and closed on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Check the opening days when planning a visit.
