About this place
The assorted lunch plates, laden with small tastes of various side dishes, are the natural starting point on a visit to titi cafe. Plates bring together quiche or grilled mains, fresh salad, and comforting soup, with the option to pair the spread with house-made pita bread. Diners opting for fermented brown rice (koso genmai) will find a pleasantly chewy texture akin to glutinous rice along with a gentle sweetness, rounding out a satisfying and wholesome meal.
For a heartier rice main, DADA's Tandoori Chicken Cashew Nut Tomato Curry—prepared over 3 days of careful simmering—and the taco rice served over fermented brown rice are staples. Global inspirations appear throughout the savoury menu, spanning keema curry, Vietnamese braised dishes, and crisp banh mi, making it easy to tailor lunch to the day's mood.
At tea time or following lunch, distinctive drinks match neatly with baked goods from the kitchen. House lemonade made with organic Setouchi lemons, an original house-blended spiced chai, and herbal tea brewed from Oki Islands kuromoji wood sit alongside desserts such as rum balls coated in chocolate, fragrant Setouchi lemon cake, and pastries laced with red wine and warm spices.
Set on the 2nd floor, the dining room offers comfortable spacing between tables, welcoming solo diners seeking a quiet break just as comfortably as groups with young children. With high chairs on hand and staff accustomed to sharing requests, the dining room keeps a relaxed and unpretentious tone.
