A bunch of really cute art was released because of it, and they had some special menu items, you can read about it here unless they remove the page when it's over.
I'm a huge Monogatari fan, I love the story, and the characters, so I couldn't miss this.
So I went there 2 weeks ago.... and I was greeted by this:
What this means is, there's a 1:30 waiting line to get inside...
I couldn't wait unfortunately, so I gave up.....
Until today.
In Japan December 23 is a holiday, the Emperor's Birthday. So I didn't work today, and I went there, decided to go inside, however long that waiting line would be because the cafe ends on the 25, and there's no day off for Christmas here, so this is my last chance.... today being a holiday, I was sure it was going to be a long line... I was still surprised when I saw this however:
5 hours waiting time... That seemed way too long but fortunately, probably because the line would have been too long, they were giving numbers, and taking our phone numbers, and said they would call me when it would be my turn.
So I went and spent 5 hours in Shibuya...
Shibuya is kinda boring, after 1 hour I finished checking Mandarake (not enough space and too many people(, and Animate. Wandered a a little, but Shibuya get's boring pretty fast. 5 hours is too long...
so I went to the Karaoke.
Then the Cafe called me while I was walking out of the Karaoke, perfect timing, it was time to finally go to that cafe I really didn't want to miss!
First thing they do when you get there is ask you what you're gonna eat, once inside you can't change your order or order more. Unfortunately with Comiket coming soon, I didn't want to eat too much but I ordered the cute Donut plate (I realized later I was dumb and should have also ordered on of the sodas to get a coaster, but it was too late).
Then when your turn comes, you get inside, and you can take a picture with the cute Monogatari display there.
Look at that Shinobu, hnngggg so cute.
After that they made me choose a table-mat between a Hello Kitty and a monogatari one, of course I choose the Monogatari one. then they took me to my place where I waited while enjoying the view and my table-mat.

| So Cute! |
I was very careful all the time I was there, and I was able to bring the table-mat back home, now it's a poster on my wall.
Eventually my food got there, and that was a really cute plate indeed.
The doughnut was meh, as most japanese donuts are. The Ononoki thing was a mousse over a slice of pineapple, and the top part were cookies. It was kinda good. The best was the delicious Fondant Au Chocolat (not gonna use the English name, it's retarded) representing Mayoi-chan. The fruits on it with the hot chocolate inside tasted like a Chocolate fondue, and the cake part was good too.
Then there was 3 things left... the 3 Macaroon... which were way too cute to be eaten.
I must have stayed there contemplating them (and checking if my neighbor, who was also keeping them, would est them) for like 20 minutes. However as my time was running out (you could only stay for 1 hour in the café) I decided to eat them.
They were good, but I still felt bad about eating them lol.
The Café also had a lot of stuff on sale at their shop for the collaboration, and I bought a lot (too much, but not as much as I would have wanted), here's the loot from today:
That concludes my report on the Monogatari café. I'm glad I could go.
Oh, and for those who don't follow me on Google+, I made myself a little Christmas tree this week, and since with today's loot I have more stuff to put in it, it has been updated a little.
Here's my awesome Christmas tree!
That's all for this post. Good bye, and please keep checking this blog, Comiket is coming soon!
