About this place
Located along Mejiro-dori, POLANO offers the unhurried comfort of a traditional Japanese kissaten, built around freshly brewed coffee and hot toasted sandwiches. A longstanding customer favorite is the toasted sandwich set, featuring fillings such as tuna, egg, or ham and cheese. The crisp aroma of toasted bread and warm fillings pairs effortlessly with coffee, and guests can also opt for standard cold sandwiches or melted pizza toast to suit their appetite.
The coffee lineup covers everyday essentials like house blends and American-style coffee, alongside a solid selection of single-origin beans including Kilimanjaro, Brazil, Mandheling, Colombia, and Guatemala. For a more generous iced pour, a double iced coffee is available, while tea options include Darjeeling and Earl Grey. Nostalgic cafe staples such as almond au lait and cream soda round out the drink offerings.
For afternoon sweets, pancake sets and cake sets with choices such as Mont Blanc, apple pie, and cheesecake provide a gentle pause in the day. The interior features an inviting layout of counter and table seating that welcomes solo visitors with ease. Smoking is permitted inside the seating area, and payment is cash only.
