If you’re looking for a spot that combines the best of comfort, creativity, and flavor, Molly is definitely the café for you.

The dining atmosphere at Molly is nothing short of inviting. With its unique table setups and spacious seating, you can enjoy a meal in comfort while soaking in the artistry of the café's design. Soft lighting, plush couches, and an array of board games create an environment that's perfect for both relaxation and casual gatherings with friends. It’s easy to spend hours here, slowly savoring each bite and captivating drink surrounded by like-minded individuals.

Molly’s menu is a delightful fusion of comforting and unique offerings that cater to a variety of palates. One popular standout is the highly customizable omurice, bathed in a delectable classic demiglacé sauce that elevates the simple fried rice into a flavorful masterpiece. Customers rave about the eggplant curry rice, with one patron declaring it the best curry of their life, prompting culinary curiosity in all who visit. The café also boasts a range of dishes including grilled chicken with avocado — a healthy option that scores high marks from health-conscious diners.

If you’re in the mood for something sweet, the tiramisu comes highly recommended; it’s not just an ordinary dessert but features a delightful twist with lotus biscoff and caramel on the side, ensuring each bite is a heavenly indulgence.

Small yet cozy cafe just off the shopping street. The omurice was highly customisable and I ended up choosing the classic demi-glacé sauce. The rice was ok and I appreciated the portion size. The matcha latte was overpowered by the heaps of kinako on top. My dad ordered the eggplant curry rice and said it was the best curry of his life. (I can't verify as I didn't try but thought I'd put it here)

A trendy-style café with a unique table setup that offers comfort and privacy. Service was efficient and to the point, without excessive questions or checks. The grilled chicken with avocado was healthy and delicious. However, most dishes were high in carbohydrates. It would be great to see more healthy options on the menu.

A really cosy cafe on the floor above its sister (actually, brother - Eric - café). This café is tucked away behind Osu Kannon Temple, down a quiet back street running parallel to the main road. It can be quite busy sometimes, but is generally a really quiet and peaceful place with a comfortable atmosphere and good food and drinks. There are a good variety of dishes on the menu, from omurice to teriyaki chicken rice, avocado and tuna, and desserts such as ice cream, tirades, and various fruit tarts. The drinks are even more varied, with a selection of coffee and tea, hot and cold cocktails, and the especially delicious ginger lemonade. The tables aren't cramped together, and the seats are comfortable. There is a view over the backstreet from a window, which is really peaceful in the evening. There are a selection of games set out, such as Connect 4, Chinese Chequers, and puzzles, in case anyone wants to give those a go. Each table is assigned a small plastic animal, to identify the bill at the end if the meal. A cute concept. Really recommended, especially for friends or couples.

Mentaiko cream pasta: 3/5 Mentaiko flavor is not too present, cream is on the heavier side. Iced cafe latte: 3/5 Too much cream, espresso flavor not strong enough. Tiramisu: 4/5 Pretty good tiramisu with lotus biscoff and caramel on the side, good balance of flavor. Rum hot chocolate: 2/5 Rum was over powering, but still drinkable. The cafe comes with board games and nice couches. Really nice place to just chill. The ambience of the cafe is "rustic".

Great place to chill at length. Comfortable seating, spacious, and has a lot of character. It's very well designed, and both the food and drink menus are quite unique (in a great way). Looking forward to going again next time I'm in the area. I also have to say that the staff there are pretty cool. They're all very chill and have a kind of classy hipster/skater/artist vibe.

Cool, spacious, friendly cafe. It has a rustic, Brooklyn~hipster feel to it. Coffee from ¥500. Did not try the food but would definitely come back to try.

Ordered the omu rice with mozzarella cheese. There are few shrimps too. It cost ¥1480. Not really special.
