Cafe Zaiya, located upstairs in the Kinokuniya bookstore, offers an affordable and filling selection of meals, snacks, and beverages. The menu includes bento boxes, onigiri (rice balls), pastries, sandwiches, coffee, and milk tea. Customers appreciate the neat atmosphere of this little bookstore cafe, making it a nice place to hang out and catch up with friends over drinks like matcha or green tea latte. The food is well-seasoned and fresh, with many praising the tasty onigiri and bakery items. The crispy and flavorful chicken katsu is also a highlight. However, some recent reviews have noted issues with the quality of the milk tea, including overcooked and mushy boba. Seating can be limited during peak times, and while the cashier is friendly, service may be minimal. Despite these concerns, Cafe Zaiya remains a convenient and budget-friendly option for those looking for a quick grab-and-go meal, especially when craving Asian food.
