Point 2: Introduction to the café and menu of the “Krump Coffee Store”!
The Crump Coffee Store is a “coffee store,” and coffee, carefully hand-drip brewed from specialty coffee beans, which is the store’s specialty, is the signature item on the menu. Customers can choose the type of bean and brewing method to find their favorite flavor.
Drinks made with rich espresso, brewed using an espresso machine, are also popular. The variety of latte, cappuccino, macchiato, and other types of drinks is also attractive.
In addition, iced coffee, which is popular in hot weather, is available in a choice of hand-drip or espresso, and since the coffee and milk are served “unmixed,” the trick is to mix them just before drinking to make it delicious.
It is also a pleasure to be served in a pretty, fleshy glass or a thin, beautiful glass that looks as if it might break if you put a little effort into it.
Point 3: Introduction of food and sweets menu of “Krump Coffee Store”!
In addition to coffee, Crump Coffee Store offers sandwiches, cakes, cookies, and more.
The menu may change somewhat with the seasons, but the “Grilled Vegetables and Hummus Sandwich” pictured here is a sandwich of grilled vegetables and chickpea hummus on toasted bread. The vegetables themselves have a rich flavor and are very tasty.
There are also oddities such as glass dessert verrines and sweet potato butter cake, as well as classic sweets such as doughnuts, crème brûlée, and chocolate terrine. In any case, every menu item is stylish!
It seems that they are aiming for something original and not ordinary, even if it is a standard item.
