Japanese$

You can detect the influence of Japan’s beloved convenience stores through Punpun’s menu, especially in the steamed-custard egg sando with chive mayo. It’s shokupan bread also comes with a smashed beef patty, pickles and “Tokyo Mac” sauce seasoned with shichimi togarashi. Settle in for the quiet restorative power of a cafe simply doing things well.

Good to know: Co-owner Lexy Allouche has a shrine to cult chilli condiment Lao Gan Ma in the kitchen.
