Khagee Cafe

For a substantial lunch at Khagee Cafe in Numabukuro, Thai curry is one option. The green curry combines the heat of green chillies with herbs such as lemongrass and makrut lime leaves, balanced by coconut milk. It comes with rice and salad, and suits anyone in the mood for a spice-forward meal. For a milder choice, try the Massaman curry. This rich Thai curry pairs the aromas of cinnamon, star anise and cardamom with the richness and sweetness of coconut milk; it, too, comes with rice and salad. Some visitors have remarked on the curries’ spiced flavour and ease of eating, making them a popular choice for lunch.

For an afternoon treat, order an English scone with jam and clotted cream. The suggested way to enjoy it is to split it horizontally and add both toppings. Some visitors have praised the contrast between a crisp exterior and moist centre; others enjoyed its restrained sweetness and biscuit-like texture. If you are here for the scones, start with this classic combination. Other sweet options include carrot cake and apple pie. The cafe’s carrot cake has a moist crumb with a hint of cinnamon, paired with tangy frosting. Visitors have noted its light texture and the way it goes with the cream cheese layer. One person who took the apple pie away enjoyed its crisp pastry and apples that retained a little softness.

Drinks include coffee and café lattes, as well as chai latte made with Ceylon tea, 7 spices and honey. Pair a scone with chai, or cake with coffee; the menu makes it easy to match a drink to your mood. Café lattes are made with beans roasted in Thailand, and some drinks are available hot or iced. You can dine in or order takeaway. Whether you are looking for lunch in Numabukuro or a break with a scone and a drink, this cafe offers options for different kinds of visits.
