Like all Japanese cuisine, the use of fresh and high-quality ingredients is key in making the dishes. The flavors are balanced and clean, enhancing the ingredients without overshadowing them. I particularly enjoyed the onigiri, one with pickled mustard and another with salmon. The chicken karaage was tender with a satisfying crunch, and the grilled eggplant had a delicious smoky sweetness. To finish off the meal, the hojicha tart was a perfect choice for dessert. The base had a delightful mix of textures, resembling a flaky pastry and biscuit crumb. The hojicha flavor was strong and incredibly tasty. It paired wonderfully with my decadent matcha latte.

Ima Cafe is a Japanese cafe that offers cute breakfast sets and brunch in a modern setting. With its tables frequently full, you can be sure the food is delicious. They also sell Japanese snacks and ceramic cups for those interested. I tried the Salmon Don since the breakfast set I initially wanted was sold out. It was perfect for those who enjoy poke bowls or fusion Japanese cuisine. They also have rotating Lunch Sets, allowing you to try a variety of dishes each time you visit. Takeaway and delivery options are available at Ima Cafe!

One of the cutest Japanese brunch place not far from Melbourne CBD<br/ <br/ They got the chillest vibes, good coffee and traditional Japanese breakfast, and I splurged like no tomorrow <br/ <br/ I loved their traditional Japanese breakfast since it was served with simple grilled fish and it was so filling.

This cafe is amazing! The staff is incredibly friendly, the coffee is outstanding, and the houjicha tart is the best I've ever had. I absolutely adore this place. It's just a shame that I can't try more items from the menu because I prefer eating in rather than getting takeaway.
