This Hawaiian-themed café inside Lumine Est Shinjuku is a branch of Kanagawa’s Pacific Drive-in. While the original café is known for traditional Hawaiian meals like garlic shrimp and loco moco, Pacific Bake House offers a more modern menu. You’ll find the likes of open-faced sandwiches with toppings like ahi poke and avocado or jamon serrano and rocket leaves, as well as three kinds of colourful salads.
The sweets selection is also worth exploring, with a variety of scones, muffins, cookies and doughnuts, including the malasada. However, we recommend the signature dessert, the parfallo. The name comes from the word parfallo, which is a combination of ‘parfait’ and ‘swallow’, meaning it’s a drinkable parfait. It comes in three flavours – coffee macadamia, blueberry coconut cheesecake and lilikoi banana tea.
The drink menu is also impressive, with cold brews on tap plus a selection of teas, kombucha and tropical juices. For an additional ¥110, non-dairy drinkers can swap out milk with soy, almond or oat milk, too.
