About this place
Set above the bustling streets of Shimokitazawa, cafe. millennium charms visitors with whimsically styled desserts and thoughtful house drinks. The signature Rich Milk Hojicha Latte uses a slow-simmered tea syrup blended with dairy, yielding a nutty, toasty profile. Those looking for colder refreshments can order the spiced Riho-san's Forest Cola or a seasonal melon soda adorned with a shaped animal ice cream scoop.
The dessert menu is equally creative. The Wan! cotta Rich Milk Tea infuses Earl Grey tea and cream into a smooth panna cotta, served chilled with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Depending on the season, the counter turns out pumpkin-accented Basque cheesecake made with Hokkaido cream cheese, as well as mont blanc-style shaved ice layered with chestnut puree and hojicha syrup.
When it comes to savory fare, the kitchen dishes up a gentle, tomato-based homemade keema curry topped with a soft-poached onsen egg, along with pillowy gnocchi coated in rich cheese or basil cream sauces. Food items can be paired with coffee, tea, or cafe au lait at set pricing.
The dining area mixes counter stools and low tables in a calm, welcoming layout that suits solo drop-ins as well as afternoon catch-ups. Operating primarily during daytime hours on weekends alongside select Thursday evening services, the shop accepts electronic payments such as PayPay.
