Pelican Café

Came here for a quick breakfast on a Thursday morning around 10:30am. It's a small cafe, and we were lucky there was an open table for the 3 of us when we arrived. I ordered the ham cutlet sandwich and I dont know what they do to this sandwich because it looks pretty simple, but packs a flavor punch. The meat was perfectly cooked, the bread was toasty and crispy, making the perfect pairing. Would definitely want to visit again if I'm looking for a casual breakfast place.

The Pelican Cafe was located nearby my hotel. It always had a long line so my friends and I wanted to check it out. We needed to head inside first to register a place on the waitlist via the tablet. There was a physical number that was issued afterwards. We needed to hand that over to the staff once she called it out. We waited about 30 minutes or so and got seated at around 10:20 AM on a Tuesday for a group of 3. The menu had English translation on there, which helped us decide quickly. I got an iced coffee with a ham cutlet sandwich. This sandwich was one of the best breakfasts I had on my trip to Japan! The ham had a lot of flavor and the bread had a nice crisp to it. Definitely a spot that I’d like to visit again.

So far the best meal this trip. Thick bread toasted to perfection, love their apple jam 😍 fruits sando was fresh and firm.

This is by far one of the best places I will never forget. The sandwiches are out of this world and even though it's been almost a year I've been I crave it every day. It is an absolute gem and they are soooo friendly.

Little bit of a wait to get in but really good Toast, got apple jam with it and so good toast set comes with coffee and sooo good. Staff is so nice too.

Went here dør breakfast, and they have a quite simple breakfast menu, not a whole lot to choose from - but that's okay. I had the char-grilled toast, which came with butter on top and orange jam on the side. It was actually really good, even though it just looked like an extra thick piece of toast. My friend had the fried ham and egg on toast, and it had a good mustard on it. They only serve regular coffee, but it is made pour over style, which I prefer when I can't have espresso drinks. The staff was kind and the food came quickly. A really nice place all in all!

Nice, tidy toast place worth a casual visit, but not worth long waiting or long trip for sure. ❤️The butter is really nice ❤️English menu and English speaker staff I’ve heard about this place from SNS. There was barely a queue when I visited at 9am The set of toast + coffee costs 750 yen, which it’s fair. The toast looks cute, but tastes normal than expected: it’s a bit hard, and there is no dedicatedly crispy surface, but just a normal… toasted surface The ham sandwich tastes good because of the ham cutlet and the thin and balanced mayonnaise cabbage cuts. However, the bread is still normally toasted, and it’s a bit thick for you to eat elegantly It’s not bad, but a bit expensive in my point of view. Or at least, I wish the toast could be better made with a more unique taste

I came here on a Monday morning. There was already a queue at 8:55 am, so I had to wait for the second round. After about 25 minutes, I could finally go inside. People kept lining up non-stop, i guess it’s a very popular breakfast spot. I ordered the ham cutlet sandwich and hot coffee. The toast was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, and the coffee was tasty.

This cafe is known for their fresh white bread I believe so we waited an hour from when it opened to try it out. We ordered a variety of bread which was definitely fresh and not too sweet. But nothing very special, I don't think it is worth waiting an hour for or going out of your way to try.

A cafe spun out of the nearby pelican bakery which specializes in white bread. I got there in the morning right as they opened and I was seated immediately. Note, it was a rainy morning and even then a line quickly formed. I got the ham cutlet sandwich because I was craving more than just toast. The ham cutlet was done very well with a thin layer of breading, and a thick cut of meat. Not too oily, and assembled with an appropriate amount of sauce and greens. The bread was super soft and delicate and was quite different compared to white bread I've had previously. This is probably due to the bread being quite fresh, whereas nothing like that is available in the US. Before this I was not a huge fan of white bread, but this definitely changed my mind! One piece of critique I have is that my bread wasn't tasted as deeply as the toast I saw others were getting. A crispier outside would have made this dish even better, but this was already a 5 star meal for me.

We had the toast set which was a slice of toast with a fruit compote and butter with a coffee. You could choose different beverages if you like. The toast was very delicious. I was determined on our walk back to get a loaf on our walk past. I would be hand carrying this all the way home to Honolulu.
