Classy cafe, near a temple - the owners are very pleasant. They offer an interesting selection of foods, in addition to the standard café fare. The decoration is tasteful, the atmosphere very relaxing. I heard that they have live music regularly. I shouldn’t forget to mention, it’s dog-friendly

護国寺近くの隠れ家カフェ。ずっと気になっていましたが、連れとやっとこれました。丁寧にハンドドリップしていただいたコーヒーをゆっくりと楽しめます。アンチョコクロワッサンがとても美味しかったです。

A lovely little cafe with a very laid back and comfortable atmosphere. The coffee is good and the basque cheesecake was delicious. Great service and friendly staff. There’s music in the background and a whole arrangement of seating which makes it a nice place to sit for a while. Residential and quite. Cool place.

住宅地にある、駐車場が2台あるカフェです。フードはありません。 ケーキが好きな人には良さそうです。 冬場は入口脇に本物の暖炉があります。この立地で本物の暖炉を設置している事例は参考になりそうですね。 ドリップコーヒーを頼みましたか薄すぎでした。濃いめと頼んだのですがさっぱりとしたコーヒーです。 ケーキは650円くらい。ドリンクは500円くらい。ソファチェアが欲しくなるくらい素敵なエリアですが、何かが足りないと思いました。WiFiでもない、静かさ、暗さでもない。メニューの豊富さであろうか。次来たときに誇れ頼んでみようというものがなかったのは事実。1人でもっとゆっくりできる雰囲気がなかった気がします。 駐車場があるカフェなんてかなり少ない貴重なお店だとは思います。
