Reviews Summary
HEY is a beloved cafe in Sendai, praised for its incredibly delicious donuts and standout savory dishes like the pulled pork sandwich. Diners also rave about the chic, modern atmosphere and friendly staff.

"Loved the food and drinks here. We bought donuts, pulled pork sandwich and some
coffee. The pulled pork sandwich was soo soo good!! Highly recommend!! I personally loved the chocolate filled donut, cinnamon donut and the cruller. The butterscotch latte was alright, it’s not sweet and has a slight burnt taste to it. The hot coffee had a light taste which was nice for me but for people who likes heavy bodied coffee, they may not enjoy it."

"The Café sells coffee, beer, wine, and other drinks, bakery, and, above all, donuts. Also, it offers simple meal services, and, thus, it has long waiting time for lunch meal service because nearby has Sendai Bar Association and various law firms for court services and their hungry lawyers etc.
Hey Café’s whisky flavor donuts are popular and in high demands, although it is unusual for its early AM-made donuts to be sold around 10 to 1030AM.
The café opens daily from 09AM till 06PM, although food service ends at 03PM daily. It accepts credit card payments, and it is a Non-smoking store.
The store can be accessed by Sendai subway at Aoba-dori Ichibancho Station, T- 06."

"Enjoyed a yummy meal here with friends!
Definitely recommend the pork sandwich!! The drink menu was surprisingly varied, with hot and iced options and oat milk available, too!
The doughnut selection is also great. The frog one is especially adorable.
It's worth a stop."
