Retro Time
Step into the charming world of Retro Time, a delightful café nestled in the heart of Nagoya, Japan. This retro-themed establishment invites you to experience a slice of nostalgia with a vibrant atmosphere that seamlessly blends the past and present. Your journey begins the moment you approach its cozy facade, reminiscent of a bygone era, which reflects the charming, time-worn character that the café has cultivated over the years.
As you enter, you'll be greeted by a warm, welcoming interior that is bright and inviting, while still echoing the allure of classic Japanese coffee shops. The delightful ambiance is further enhanced by the presence of a vintage mahjong table—available for a nominal fee of 100 yen—offering a playful nod to the golden age of Japanese café culture.
At Retro Time, the menu showcases a range of delectable dishes that cater to both hearty appetites and gentle cravings. Among the crowd favorites are the succulent Hamburg Steak and the beloved Indian Pasta, featuring a delightful fusion of curry and rich hamburger topping. As one satisfied customer noted, the hamburgers are “meatier and simply recommended,” speaking to the quality and flavor that has patrons returning time and again. For those craving a lighter fare, the flavorful omelette rice, perched on fluffy, subtly seasoned ketchup rice, guarantees satisfaction without overwhelming.
Indulgence does not end with savory offerings; the café’s dessert options beckon to be explored, particularly under the guidance of the talented new owner, who hails from a renowned three-star restaurant in France. Be sure to indulge in their exquisite sweets during your next visit, as many reviews underscore the magical combination of morning offerings paired with delightful pastries.
The customer service at Retro Time is equally commendable, with patrons consistently noting the genuine hospitality and care provided by the staff. One reviewer shared a heartwarming experience where a staff member personally stepped outside to guide them to parking—a testament to their exceptional commitment to customer satisfaction.
