Click and Clack

If you’re in the mood for both a meal and cake, Click and Clack lets you take your time over both in one place. Savoury options include Japanese-style hamburger steak with crisp lotus root, grated daikon and shiso, and chicken curry with vegetables such as spinach cooked into the sauce. Visitors have praised a lunch of lotus-root hamburger steak with rice mixed with brown rice; one also remarked on the rice’s pleasantly chewy texture.

For something fried, the karaage—Japanese-style fried chicken—comes in a choice of flavours: salt, nanban-style or grated daikon ponzu. The salt version is simply seasoned with coarse salt, while the nanban-style chicken is dipped in house-made sweet vinegar and served with mayonnaise and spring onion. One diner who ordered the grated daikon ponzu karaage for lunch also said they enjoyed the dish.

For dessert, choose from chiffon cakes in flavours such as Earl Grey, caramel nut and banana, as well as gâteau au chocolat and baked cheesecake. One visitor paired banana chiffon with a café latte, describing the cake as fluffy, with fresh cream between the layers, and mentioning the latte’s heart-shaped art. Another visitor found the coffee marble cheesecake pleasantly bittersweet and not too sweet. The coffee menu lists hot blended coffee and varieties such as mocha and Guatemala, so you can choose a cup to go with your cake.

One visitor described ordering and paying on the ground floor before carrying their food upstairs, as part of the café’s self-service setup. The upstairs area has plenty of books, and visitors have mentioned reading or working there; free Wi-Fi is also listed. Whether you’re after a substantial lunch or a quiet break with cake and a drink, you can make either the food or the café menu the focus of your visit.
