I visited this place with my sister Daria and genuinely I have mixed feelings about it.
First, I want to state that it’s a nice place to sit at. Good music, pretty plants and decorations, very clean.
Second, the food is kinda mid and overpriced. I ordered a chicken sandwich and it tasted very strange- it was sweet and salty at the same time, and the chicken itself had a weird taste and structure of it. The fishes (vanilla and mochi fillings) tasted okay but nothing special. The drinks were okay too, but as I said, not worth the price.
Third, the customer service wasn’t good. I had to stand up and go back to the table because they didn’t give me any sugar or napkins. The girl at the counter wasn’t really friendly and it felt awkward to order / choose food.
Overall, this place is okay in general, but for such price I’d consider going to better places such as Pane e Circo where the food and drinks are worth its price.

In my opinion, it’s a pretty mid spot - the concept is cool but it’s definitely not worth the hype. We had mini gangs with vanilla and matcha custard, latte, matcha latte and chicken sandwich. Everything was really really mid, but the chicken sandwich had a weird taste (including sweet+salty odd proportions) and quite an unpleasant texture. Idk maybe it’s some kind of special Asian style, but I just didn’t get it.
Also, it was a sunny evening, but there was no outside seating. Not sure if it’s something they typically do, I think I saw a photo though. The thing is that it’s my 2nd time here and the place seems to lack air circulation - both times It felt difficult to breathe and I got a headache.
Overall, the atmosphere is nice, the interior is pretty, but it’s just not worth it. It was nice to try but for me it’s not one of those places I will be coming back to.

SO good!! Best matcha ice cream I’ve had and the tiny taiyakis had such a delightful crisp while maintaining a soft interior texture! Absolutely delish and the atmosphere was really cute too!

I love this cafe! The coffee is amazing, the team members working are also so kind and helpful! The waffles are out of this world — my favourite is the chocolate and hazelnut filled one!

I ordered the Taiyaki, something likes pancakes with macha tea latte. The Taiyaki filling was chocolate wich made the taste delicious. The store was pleasant for sitting and I like it 👌 🙂

We stopped by and got attracted by the look of the place. All I can say is WOW! I’m sooo glad we stopped by. We tried the Harvest Ham sandwich and the Smoke Meat sandwich. I was supposed to share mine with my wife, but I ate it so fast we didn’t have time to share.

Cafe with a wide selection of vegan options for taiyaki. Multiple options for vegan crust, many sweet fillings are vegan, and one vegan savory filling option.
Hidden Gem! The Bulgogi Sandwich was really good—I’ve never had a sandwich like that before. Super tasty and packed with flavour. I had it with an iced mocha coffee, and the combo worked perfectly. The coffee was smooth and refreshing. A great little find!

I can only speak to the dessert menu items as that is all I have eaten here, but they're really good. I have tried a broad range of flavours, and none of them have disappointed.
The atmosphere inside is really cozy.

Café Taiyaki 52 is a clean, spacious atmosphere great for small gatherings or dining solo. They sell some of the cutest sandwiches, stamped with the iconic fish as well as hot/cold drinks and tasty desserts. I loved the cheese curd mini gang, it's a perfect for sharing and tasted so fresh and delicious.
I'd vouche for visiting this café!
