Houbi Ichigo is a quaint Japanese cafe inside the Mullein Pharmacy on Logan Road.
Parking is pretty abysmal so try to get in early or get a bus there. Even ride a bike possibly. It gets pretty congested.
They have ample outdoor seating and a few indoor seats in a nice, welcoming area on the side of the pharmacy.
It just gets quite crowded with all the people.
They have a few gluten-free options and advised me they do use separate knives and cutting boards for their food.
Their drinks are kind of on the small side (for the cold drinks), but they also do coffee and tea like matcha and houjicha. The service is impeccable, staff are attentive and take your order quickly. They also offered to serve me early when I showed up before meeting my friend. I appreciate the mix of savoury and sweet options and the clearly marked labels as well as the staff personal recommendations on menu items.
It's a place I hope to visit many times in the future.
