Ellington

For breakfast, choose between an egg sandwich, or raisin bread with egg. Ellington’s morning menu also includes toast, other sandwiches and hot dogs. One diner recalled that the egg in the sandwich was warm and had an old-fashioned flavour. Others enjoyed a breakfast set with coffee. For a lighter start, there is toast and egg; the egg sandwich makes a more substantial meal.

At lunchtime, pizza toast and curry are among the options. One diner said the pizza toast was filling thanks to its thick, soft bread. Another recommendation pairs curry with pizza toast, making it a meal to savour in sequence when a light snack is not enough. A diner who ordered tomato omelette curry described it as mild, with plenty of sauce. Another chose tomato curry and said they would return to try other dishes. Curry is also listed in a small size, with the option of a salad or a set that includes a drink.

Coffee comes as a blend, strong or cinnamon, as well as café au lait. Visitors have fondly recalled the strong hot coffee and iced coffee served with sugar; either makes a distinctive partner for toast or a sandwich. For a break from coffee, there are mixed and banana juices. Alongside breakfast and lunch, the café offers dine-in and takeaway options. In Nagai-Higashi, its menu ranges from a morning sandwich to curry at lunchtime.
