take3's cafe

Set within a community facility, take3's cafe provides an unhurried setting to unwind over freshly prepared Western-style dishes. Perched on the 1 floor of Akabane Kaikan, the dining room looks out toward greenery in the neighboring park, allowing guests to dine or sip tea at an easy pace.

At the center of the menu are comforting sets of baked doria and gratin. The classic shrimp doria set arrives with bread, salad, and a drink, earning a following for its simple, approachable satisfaction. Seasonal variations also appear throughout the year, such as a spring vegetable and chicken curry doria or root vegetable combinations, offering freshly baked comfort that rewards repeat visits.

Those looking for a heartier rice meal can choose taco rice served with a choice of spicy or mild salsa, or a Thai-style green curry set accompanied by salad and a drink. Daily lunch specials feature homestyle Japanese staples like ginger pork or fried chicken karaage, making it a convenient choice for an everyday midday meal.

For coffee breaks or lighter appetites, bread choices include cheese toast, pizza toast, and BLT sandwiches. The drink list features blended coffee, American coffee, iced chai lattes, and sweets such as black tea jelly, offering a comforting pause after visiting the library or shopping nearby.
