About this place
Crisp and fragrant on the outside with a gentle sweetness within, the bakes at Bake & Cafe Notus draw visitors seeking a calm tea break in Asakusa. The house specialty is the scone set, which lets you combine plain or daily scones accompanied by rich clotted cream and seasonal homemade fruit jam.
Beyond scones, the shop offers classic British-style cakes. Options include a refreshing lemon cake made with Setouchi lemons and Earl Grey jam, as well as Victoria sponge cake layered with homemade domestic fruit jam and buttercream between light, moist sponge. To drink, there is a generous tea list served by the pot, a honeycomb toffee milk tea topped with crunchy toffee bits, and dark-roast flannel-drip iced coffee brewed with care.
The compact seating layout features a handful of counter stools alongside 2-person tables, fostering an unhurried, quiet atmosphere. The cafe operates primarily on Saturdays and Sundays; visitors can sit in for teatime or purchase scones and jams to take away.
