512 Cafe & Grill
A great place for a stroll with a cafe stop
512 Cafe & Grill in Akasaka/Roppongi is in a very good location. Just behind “21_21 DESIGN SIGHT” (which is located in the garden area of Tokyo Midtown), the cafe is within walking distance from the Roppongi intersection, Suntory Museum of Art, and the National Art Center, Tokyo. There is no big street nearby, and the cafe surrounded by greenery is very quiet and calm. Time to relax!
The scenic “521 Cafe & Grill” is often used for drama shootings.
Popular pancakes with a “fluff”
512 Cafe & Grill is famous for its fluffy pancakes. Their pancakes have a light texture – just like a cloud. Stacked in three layers the pancakes were shaking on the plate.
Brulee pancakes
You might think that you can’t possibly eat this mountain of pancakes by yourself. But no. In a matter of seconds, the pancakes melt away in your mouth leaving you wanting more and more until everything on your plate has vanished. So good!
Everyone’s favorite: Matcha pancakes that are made with high-quality Matcha.
The cafe also offers a limited-time menu. With all of their creations being very pleasing to the eye, they make for an instagrammable moment. According to the staff, they use different eggs depending on the type of the pancakes they are making and that each pancake is made from scratch after you order it. That’s why they take a little while – but it’s so worth it! I guess that’s why they are exceptionally delicious.
Don’t forget to check out the limited-time menu!
