Toconoco
About
Reviewers often mention the high-quality matcha latte as a standout feature, noting it provides a soul-warming experience similar to traditional Japanese soba noodles. While several flag the pre-sweetened mix in their matcha latte as a drawback, others appreciate the well-balanced Matcha Cheesecake and the Iced Matcha Latte. The menu also includes delightful items like tuna mayo and prawn dashi mayo onigiri and comforting Udon Soup with Fried Tofu. Guests point to a range of authentic Japanese light eats, making Toconoco a welcoming spot for those seeking a taste of Tokyo. On sunny days, the outdoor seating area offers a picturesque setting by the Kingsland Basin. However, some find the café can be crowded and the service occasionally lacking in attentiveness. Prices are reasonable but may not always align with expectations based on the quality of food served. Nonetheless, many still find it to be an enjoyable midweek lunch spot that offers genuine Japanese cuisine.
