Espresso D Works Ikebukuro is a bakery cafe a four-minute walk from the east exit of Ikebukuro Station, selling omelets, pancakes, coffee and bread. The truffle omelet and seasonal pancakes are the signature items, and the bread refill option keeps bringing out freshly baked bread. On a weekday around 4 p.m. there was no wait to get in, but there was a wait during lunch hours. Prices are on the higher side.
