Engawa Cafe presents a carefully curated menu that promises a delightful experience for coffee and dessert lovers. The coffee, skillfully brewed from high-quality beans, has garnered praise for its robust flavor, though the palate may find some of the American brews a tad bitter—certainly a matter of personal taste! For those with a sweet tooth, don't miss their seasonal desserts, particularly the apple pie, as highlighted in customer reviews. The tarts enchant with delightful flavors, although some patrons, like Kseniia Malysheva, have suggested balancing the cheesecake layer with a slightly thinner crust for an even more enjoyable bite.
