About this place
Step inside Retrofish Cafe, and gentle resident dogs amble over to offer a quiet greeting. Shelves of books line the peaceful room, giving it the cozy intimacy of visiting a friend's home where solo patrons can comfortably settle in.
The savory menu centers on hearty, casual hot dogs. Options range from a basic plain dog to cheese and chili variations, as well as a spicier choridog, letting visitors match their hunger. Classic kissaten pastas like Napolitan and meat sauce, alongside rich beef stew accompanied by rice or bread, make for satisfying lunch alternatives.
For teatime, the French toast topped with ice cream is a standout choice. Baked fluffy to make the most of the bread's texture, it delivers simple comfort enhanced by the sweetness of syrup. Toasted sandwiches layered with apple and cheese or chocolate and banana, along with baked goods like carrot cake and scones, offer plenty of afternoon sustenance.
Drinks show thoughtful touches across the board, from staple coffees and café lattes to sweetened hot chai and a layered coffee jelly latte topped with cream. A generous roster of black teas, including Darjeeling and Assam, ensures there is always a soothing cup suited to the mood.
