About this place
Opening from 7:00 in the morning, St.Marc Cafe sets up a relaxed start to the day with freshly baked bread—led by its signature Choco Cro—alongside coffee ground to order. During the morning hours, fresh-baked bread sets let you choose items such as a fried-egg danish or a buttered-potato danish, offering a satisfying meal at reasonable prices.
Come lunchtime or light-bite hours, the toasted sandwich lineup becomes a reliable mainstay. Options such as ham and cheese layered with melted cheese, a classic BLT, or teriyaki chicken paired with scrambled egg bring balanced substance to a brunch or lunch set centred on a warm sandwich.
For an afternoon break, the cafe serves desserts such as the house-made coffee jelly parfait, balancing pleasantly bitter jelly with soft-serve ice cream, alongside a diverse tea selection that includes smooth royal milk tea and roasted green tea (hojicha). Counter seats are fitted with electrical outlets, and thanks to the location just outside the Ikebukuro Station Metropolitan Exit, it is an easy spot to recharge devices between journeys, get some light laptop work done, or pass the time before a meetup.
