I've been coming to the Sogo Cafe ever since I was young. Located at the basement two floor of Sogo, it's no doubt convenient to go to after some hardcore shopping at Sogo. The cafe serves a general western fare with Japanese twists and its coffee is Japanese UCC coffee.
Sogo Cafe has sets during breakfast, lunch, tea time and dinner, so basically all day. Their breakfast sets are always great to start the day with toast, bacon, and eggs made to your liking among others. For lunch and dinner, you can expect wagyu, tenderloin etc to be one of the set meals. Their steaks are wonderfully tender and come with a lot of steamed vegetables to make sure that it's a balanced diet. During afternoons, they do great high tea sets for two with a good balance between the savories and the sweets. Examples of savories include finger sandwiches and smoked salon on toast, and there are mini cakes and scones to finish it off.
Their a la carte menu is great too. I don't normally like sandwiches, but their club sandwiches are definitely a winner. They're chocked full of egg, ham, tomato and lettuce and it's extremely filling! Their bread pudding is worth a mention as well. It takes about fifteen minutes of preparation time, but it's worth the wait. The pudding comes out steaming hot (don't even think about touching the dish) and is simply heavenly. It's sweet and buttery, and I'm craving one as we speak!
My mother and I are huge fans of UCC coffee, which they brew here, so it goes without saying that we adore their coffee! We've tried their special teas quite a few times, and while they smell divine, they taste pretty ordinary.
Definitely drop by at the Sogo Cafe next time you're doing some shopping at Sogo. It's not cheap, per say, but not outrageous either. The environment of the restaurant is cosy and service is good too. read more
