01 / ABOUT THE PLACE
About this place
Cutting into a fragrant, golden-baked crust captures the appeal of FABRIC in Minami-Ikebukuro. Styled around textile motifs, the calm interior features soft sofa seating and an upper 2nd-floor area, providing a quiet retreat when you want to step away from the surrounding streets.
Hearty Savory Pies
The main draw on the food menu is its savory pie lineup. Highlights include the standard Classic Meat Pie, made with Australian minced beef simmered in gravy, and the substantial Beef Ragout Pie, layering mashed potatoes with beef tendon, beef shank, and vegetables stewed until meltingly tender. The variety gives diners plenty of choices, from the Porcini Chicken Pie scented with porcini mushrooms in house-made white sauce to the spicy kick of the Mexican Chorizo Pie with jalapeño, or the rich Butter Chicken Curry Pie accented with a secret savory note.
Sandwiches and Cafe Drinks
Sandwiches are a reliable choice for breakfast or a light lunch, with options like grilled ham and cheese and pretzel egg available from the morning. The beverage selection is equally wide, covering pour-over coffee, espresso classics, smooth soy lattes, and a salted caramel latte with a sweet-and-salty balance.
For dessert, options include the Crumble Apple Pie layered with spiced, juicy apples and cinnamon, fondant chocolat, and cheesecake. With both dine-in and takeout available, the cafe works nicely whether you are looking for a quiet solo break or a relaxed brunch.
