About this place
Walking west along the elevated tracks from Ayase Station leads to an airy, light-filled space behind broad glass windows. With its high ceilings and relaxed mood, Blau ESPRESSO is an inviting stop whether you are starting the day or stepping in for an afternoon break. Diners secure their own table before ordering at the counter, with seating options inside as well as on an open-air terrace.
A perennial favorite for a hearty meal is the eggs Benedict, combining poached eggs with a bright, tangy hollandaise sauce on English muffins layered with salmon or bacon. Breaking into the soft yolks ties everything together for a thoroughly satisfying breakfast or brunch. The savory menu reaches well beyond standard cafe fare, featuring avocado toast finished simply with avocado oil and lemon, a loaded hot mix plate, and substantial gourmet burgers.
Those craving something sweet often turn to the ricotta hotcakes, prepared fresh to order. Their soft, airy crumb comes accompanied by lightly sweetened cream, letting the gentle aroma of the warm batter take center stage. Dessert lovers can also choose from matcha hotcakes, French toast, or crisp croffles.
The espresso bar delivers a full spectrum of drinks, from punchy single shots and macchiatos to velvety flat whites and lattes. Beyond coffee, the menu includes organic Darjeeling tea, house-made honey lemonade, and a selection of wine and beer, making it easy to settle in with the right drink whenever you visit.
