Before you head over

Practical dining tips for timing your visit, wait times, and ordering at 1pluspiece Cafe.

  • Read Manga While You Wait

    The cafe provides manga volumes and novels at the tables to read freely while your food and themed drinks are being prepared.

  • Share the Oversized Shakes

    The specialty super shakes and freakshakes come piled high with toppings, ice cream, and sweets—plan to split one among your table rather than ordering solo.
