A lively branch of the Osaka-spawned cafe chain, Good Morning Cafe Nakano draws a crowd of Meiji University students and other Nakano denizens with its salt-butter caramel waffles (from 8am), espresso beverages and gourmet burgers. In the evenings there's a casual dinner menu with lots of salads and vegetable dishes, along with budget wines.

Part of the tastefully verdant Nakano Central Park complex, the cafe offers a pleasant outdoor terrace area looking out over the park, along with a spacious interior and a bouncy pop-oriented soundtrack.
