Customers rave about the experience at Kafe Topi; as noted by A. I., "It’s a good value for the price and the food I ordered was really delicious," highlighting the exquisite taste that keeps visitors returning. The café also serves as a mini-library filled with original Japanese comics—a perfect backdrop for a quiet afternoon of reading, though it could use a little more TLC, as noted by some reviewers. The friendly owners, a family from Japan, add a personal touch that truly enriches your visit, making you feel a part of their world.

On Sundays, the atmosphere transforms as the café hosts a vibrant local market, complete with fresh fruits, veggies, and artisanal breads. Sawako Takahashi aptly remarks that Sunday mornings are the best time to experience the Kafe, surrounded by the community and tantalizing aromas wafting from the kitchen.
