About this place
A black cube of chocolate terrine alongside a black latte: at SLASH COFFEE, the striking pairing keeps to a monochrome palette. Visitors describe the terrine as rich in cocoa flavour yet smooth on the palate. One says that adding whipped cream brings a touch of sweetness and softens the flavour. Another mentions pairing it with Guérande salt, an accent that brings out the sweetness.
The black latte, made with bamboo charcoal powder, is a popular companion. One visitor writes that the charcoal was odourless and flavourless, leaving the coffee’s aroma and taste intact. You could match the dark dessert and drink for a coordinated look, or let the terrine take centre stage with a coffee on the side. There’s a little choice in how to put your order together: enjoy the visual harmony or focus on the terrine’s flavour.
The coffee menu includes drip coffee and espresso, as well as café latte and cappuccino. One visitor who had a choice of 3 drip coffees opted for a dark roast, saying they enjoy bitterness. Drip coffee may suit anyone keen to choose a bean and savour its character. For a sweeter latte, options include hojicha, matcha and chocolate. You can choose a cup that puts the coffee first or one that leans into a dessert-like mood.
There’s more than terrine for those after something sweet. One order paired shiratama dumplings with black sesame sauce; the menu also lists financiers and Basque cheesecake. Matcha and hojicha Basque cheesecakes and chocolate terrine have been featured as limited-time items, so the selection of sweets may vary with the timing of your visit.
A toasted sandwich is another option for a light meal. The menu includes honey mustard chicken and ham and egg, making it easy to choose between a coffee-and-sweet break and something more meal-like. One customer ordered a toasted sandwich and also enjoyed coffee and cheesecake. Whether you want something more substantial or just a drink and a bite of something sweet, there are combinations to suit the moment.
Visitors describe the interior as a quiet, monochrome space built around black, and some say they were able to spend time there peacefully. The café is also presented as suitable for solo dining, making it an option for a leisurely coffee and sweet treat in Tsuruhashi.
