ABCカンティーン ルミネエスト新宿店

ABC canteen is a sweets and dining cafe located on the seventh floor of Lumine Est Shinjuku at 3-38-1 Shinjuku, directly connected to JR Shinjuku Station's east exit. Operated by Kichimusubi, the cafe is positioned as a venue where customers can enjoy both a proper meal and a sweet treat in a cute, photogenic setting, making it popular with a predominantly female clientele and social media users. Its location on the same floor as other popular restaurants in Lumine Est places it at the heart of one of Shinjuku's busiest dining zones. The food menu centres on customisable salads with a choice of mains such as the signature chicken tatsuta, a Japanese-style fried chicken, alongside hamburgers, side dishes including macaroni gratin, avocado preparations, chopped vegetables and ratatouille. The sweets menu features photogenic items such as danish French toast, parfaits and seasonal desserts, complemented by a range of visually striking drinks including colourful lattes and fruit-based beverages. The dual food-and-sweets concept allows the cafe to serve both lunch and dinner crowds as well as afternoon tea visitors, and the reasonably priced sets make it a practical option for everyday dining. The cafe operates daily from 11:00 to 22:00, with last orders at 21:30, and reservations can be made through Tabelog and other booking platforms, which is advisable for weekend lunchtimes when the seventh floor of Lumine Est sees heavy footfall. The direct connection to JR Shinjuku Station means it is accessible without going outdoors, a significant plus during Tokyo's summer heat and rainy season. The cafe's location near the Chuo East ticket gate makes it one of the first dining options visible to commuters exiting through the east side, contributing to its steady popularity despite the many alternatives on the same floor.
