Popii

Head down the steps just outside Sugamo Station, and you are greeted by an atmosphere that preserves the nostalgic charm of the Showa era. Kissaten Popii is an easy place to settle in from early morning through late afternoon for vintage coffee-shop fare.

Napolitan, Yakisoba, and Satisfying Light Meals

Among the savory options, the house classic is the crowd-pleasing Napolitan spaghetti. For those after a heartier meal, the noodles also include fragrant yakisoba, stir-fried yaki-udon, meat sauce pasta, and a crab tomato cream pasta. These light dishes can be ordered as sets with a drink, making them a handy option for lunch.

Toasts and Sandwiches for Breakfast or a Quick Break

The breadth of the bread menu is another draw. During breakfast hours, the morning sets—pairing toast or an egg sandwich with salad and a choice of drink—are especially well loved. A la carte offerings include simple buttered toast, jam toast, and pure honey toast, alongside warm varieties topped with ham or cheese. Sandwiches layered with egg, vegetables, ham, or cheese can also be ordered in half sizes, providing plenty of flexibility alongside sweet options like ogura (sweet red bean) toast and sandwiches to suit whatever appetite you bring.

Gentle Afternoons with Sweets and Coffee-Shop Drinks

For dessert, the kitchen turns out hotcakes topped with ice cream and chocolate whipped cream or ogura whipped cream, as well as tall chocolate banana and ogura parfaits. Together with freshly brewed hot or iced coffee, bright green melon cream soda, various floats, and fruit squashes, it offers the quintessential retro kissaten experience for a calm afternoon.
