Third Place cafe

For a burger, start with the TPC Burger, the cafe’s classic, named for its initials. Diners have remarked on its soft bun, thick patty and fries. One review notes that burgers are cooked to order, so allow time for your meal and consider staying for coffee or dessert.

For something with a different flavour profile, try the Kameari Burger Shichimi. It combines a meat patty with bacon, fruit tomato and lettuce, then adds mayonnaise made with shichimi from Nagano’s Yawataya Isogoro and BBQ sauce. It’s a Japanese-inspired take on a burger, distinct from the classic.

To round things off, order a coffee float: iced coffee topped with soft serve. One diner praised the soft serve’s rich texture and clean finish, as well as its pairing with the coffee. The TPC Blend, described as a dark roast with bitterness, berry-like acidity and a chocolate-like finish, costs 500 yen. The Kameari Blend is also 500 yen; its description notes cassis-like flavours followed by a fragrant finish. Choosing between the two makes for an enjoyable coffee comparison.
