01 / ABOUT THE PLACE
About this place
Warm sweet potato desserts set the tone at FACTORY45+, from fragrant roasted sweet potato brulee to sweet potato hotteok paired with ice cream. Set along the streets of Okubo in Shinjuku, the cafe offers a welcoming backdrop that transitions effortlessly from a quiet afternoon tea break to late-night drinks.
Comforting Sweets and a Generous Drinks Menu
The dessert selection caters generously to sweet tooths, featuring Korean shaved ice such as roasted soybean flour bingsu and Korean mixed coffee bingsu alongside Oreo shakes and rich baked New York cheesecake. Drinks provide plenty of options to mix and match, spanning crisp iced Americanos and brown sugar lattes to fruity citron ade.
Chicken and Pizza for Casual Meals or Drinks
The savory side of the menu holds its own with substantial choices. Options include chicken coated in sweet-spicy yangnyeom sauce, soy sauce garlic, or honey butter seasoning, as well as sweet potato pizza, Detroit-style pizza, and market-style gimbap that work equally well as full meals or shareable snacks. Korean drinks such as beer, makgeolli, and Chamisul sit alongside highballs, accommodating laid-back evening gatherings.
Inside, table seating is complemented by an outdoor terrace, providing a calm setting whether visiting alone for a quick pause or catching up with friends. The shop accepts credit cards alongside QR payment via PayPay and Rakuten Pay, and its late operating hours make it a convenient stop during neighborhood strolls or after dinner.
