About this place
At Shin-Setsu, choosing a cream soda flavour is part of the fun. The menu ranges from melon and muscat to strawberry and blood orange, and you can add ice cream or whipped cream, or have it without a topping. Diners have chosen combinations such as pomegranate and melon, while others have ordered melon and strawberry separately. For a play of colours, there is also a gradient cream soda, made with a choice of 2 flavours. The menu includes Yogi Pop, a blend of yoghurt and flavoured syrup, which can also be topped with ice cream or whipped cream, or served without a topping. One diner enjoyed the lychee flavour with yoghurt and ice cream. It is an option to consider if you fancy a different base from soda.
Pancakes come in both sweet and savoury versions. The plain pancake measures 15 centimetres across, and you can choose ice cream, whipped cream or no topping. The menu also lists cheese and sausage, as well as a pancake served with sausage and scrambled egg. One diner who ordered the plain pancake said it arrived on a hot plate and was particularly good with ice cream. Another described it as fluffy, with a texture distinct from soufflé-style pancakes. Sweet choices include cinnamon sugar, chocolate chips and blueberry. A diner who chose lemon sugar enjoyed it with maple syrup and whipped cream. Whether you prefer a lightly sweet pancake or want to customise it with toppings, there are options to suit.
Some diners pair a cream soda with pancakes; others stop in for a drink or float when they need a rest from walking. Reviews also mention the pop-art interior, with its retro furniture and decorative objects, and note that the tables are on the small side. It is worth picturing a compact café setting.
