Nutty's Caff

Arriving at the table with a fragrant plume of steam, the buttermilk pancakes are a signature fixture at Nutty's Caff. Rather than the towering, soufflé-style stacks often found elsewhere, these are wide and relatively thin, yielding a tender, moist crumb with a satisfyingly chewy bite. A gentle touch of salt in the batter contrasts with the slowly melting butter and maple syrup, creating a rustic balance of sweet and savoury flavours. Ordering the buttermilk pancakes with bacon and eggs adds a crisp, salty counterpoint to the sweetness, turning the dish into a hearty, satisfying brunch.

Golden-Crusted French Toast and British Café Staples

Another highlight is the French toast, seared to a crisp, golden crust on the outside while remaining light and custard-soft within. The kitchen also draws inspiration from classic British café culture, offering plates layered with sausage, baked beans, and hash browns alongside toast, as well as comforting cheesy beans on toast. For an afternoon sweet or dessert after your meal, options include a firm caramel custard pudding finished with a rich, dark sauce, alongside a dense, creamy Basque cheesecake.

Relaxing Over a Fresh Pot of Tea

To accompany the food, the café pours a thoughtful selection of teas brewed and served by the pot, from smooth Ringtons Gold to full-bodied Yorkshire Tea that holds up wonderfully with milk. Freshly brewed coffee and decaffeinated oat milk lattes are also on hand to suit different moods. Set in the quiet residential surroundings of Koishikawa, it is an inviting spot to linger over an unhurried morning or lunch amid the warm steam of a freshly poured cup of tea.
