In the middle of the park, there is this beautiful cafe and it is very cozy. I'm really feeling like Bunny House. Staff will be kind and nice. Only ordering coffee is ok. But here food looks good too.

The restaurant looks nice and warm. Not many kind of foods. CHAI coffee look likes milk tea.

Almond Caramel Crepe 🥞 @usagi_kan 🐇Walking my dog around Inokashira park in Kichijoji, we got tired pretty quickly in the hot sun so decided to take a break in the same cafe I visited just last week. 🔁😅Upon arrival it was almost 90% full, and there were 2-3 other dogs already inside. Craving something sweet but too heavy, I opted for the almond caramel crepe. 🌰🍨🥞While waiting, I struck up a conversation with a fellow dog owner, whose long haired chihuahua Tsumugi-chan was so sweet & affectionate. 😍In the meantime, my dog decided to lie down in the middle of the walkway, where he could catch the breeze of the whirring fans. 🐶🎐The crepe arrived & came with a generous helping of almond flakes, caramel sauce, big dollop of chocolate ice cream, fresh cream & slice of fresh orange. 🌰🍨🍦🍊🥞On a hot & humid day, it was light, refreshing, yet luxurious all at the same time. Goes very well with hot/ice tea, of which there are several different varieties. 🫖🧋After chatting with one of the staff, I discovered that Usagi Kan opened way back in 2006, so it has been an oasis treasured by the local community for over 15 years, especially by dog owners, who often cannot take their pets inside 99% of restaurants in Japan. 😻I (and my dog!🐶) will certainly be back, and hopefully can try some of their curry dishes next time! 🍛🤤#crepe #dessertcrepe #cafedulievre #usagikan #kichijoji #kichijojicafe #kichijojidessert #dogfriendly #tokyoeats #dietisalifestyle #exercisetoeat #livetoeat #instafood#アーモンドキャラメル #クレープ #うさぎ館 #井の頭公園 #井の頭公園カフェ #吉祥寺 #吉祥寺カフェ #吉祥寺スイーツ #クレープ好きな人と繋がりたい #ペット同伴可 #わんこOK #食べて痩せる #デブエット #食べたら動く #食テロ #デリスタグラマー #グルメな人と繋がりたい

Our family went to see Studio Ghibli Museum and then we spent some time walking through the nearby park. We had already eaten a late lunch at the museum cafe but couldn't pass up the opportunity to have some sweet crepes at this lovely cafe.

3/5Fu * Kawashima

The crepes were good but the interior is really strange… pictures of white kids
