With smart phones, tablets and other new devices we can carry around, hanging in coffee shops is more fun these days. Here in Sapporo many cafes and even some hotels offer a set of coffee and sweets for a relaxing stay. But most of such sets are not cheap - we have to pay more than 800 yen for just a small cup of the drink and some sweet treat.
However, at Mister donut, a large donut chain with stores all over Japan, we can have freshly brewed black coffee as much as we want at about 300 yen and the same service will be applied to hot cafe au lait if we pay 30 yen extra. Donuts are reasonably priced at this shop - many of them are purchasable at less than 200 yen, so having one of the drinks and a couple of fried sweet goodies and doing what we can enjoy in the place will be a guilt-free valuable experience for us. Some people stay there for hours, so we don't have to worry if they will kick us out after we drink a lot. If we want to have coffee and pastries in the morning, this is where we should be because we can make a drink and a donut, pie or muffin set choice until 11:00. We can have a drink and a few sweet treats at a really cheap price that way. A drink and noodle or fried rice set is available after that. Each Chinese meal set is tasty too, so how about having one of the sets for lunch or dinner and some pastry for dessert?
The atmosphere is relaxing with comfortable softly-seated chairs and mellow western songs playing. Have fun dining in and also take out baked or fried products for home snacking. Good to have them and a donut talk with our family or friends.
