NDRV3 cafe takeaway/review (mixx garden)
Today I went to the V3 cafe with @jinjojess and overall it was good. I liked the atmosphere and aesthetic of the cafe. Still not sure why there was a giant paper print out of Angie at the entrance, but there were stained glass character art images throughout the cafe and they played DR music and trailers on TVs that were strategically set up throughout the room.
The food was good, but pricey for what it was. I had 3/4 dishes (stamina beef bowl, salad and French toast) but passed on the roll cake. The menu changes tomorrow and 4 more items will replace the original 4, so Jess and I might go back. Entry cost ¥850 (around $8 USD) but you get a drink worth ¥750 for free so it really cost ¥150 ($1.30 USD) to enter. Food dishes were anywhere from ¥850-¥1200. Also, each drink other than the free one gets you a random coaster. Here are mine:
And each food dish gets you a placemat (I got Ouma, Shirogane and Chabashira).
The drinks were also pretty good, but some where lacking in flavor. Harukawa’s was my favorite with Iruma’s being a close second. Saihara’s drink was a bit mild in flavor and unfortunately Angie and Kiibo’s drinks were just blah. They tasted like seltzer water with a hint of fruit flavoring. I was hoping for more flavor.
I’ve been to quite a few DR cafes at this point and this one was good. Pasela has still been the best (even with the terrible Angie dish) but each cafe brings something fun to the table. I’ll give this one a 6.5/10. ALMOST a 7, but just not quite enough to bump it up.
