Very nice place to have lunch and coffee. I went there for lunch. Unfortunately the menu wasn't in English. But with pictures, it's easy to do. And I am not a picky eater! Staff was very helpful, even though with limited English. It has its charm. It's a very clean cafe with a very relaxed atmosphere. Would like to have wifi there as a traveller , but all with all a great place and would recommend. It's a bit hard to find! So walk up to the 2F.

Delicious family meals, Humble Service Assistants, Calming Atmosphere. I came with my colleague at earlier dinner time on a weekday. Their business concept made me so relaxed. The meals and cakes are so nice. If I raise a request, if I could select a tea pot. Anyway, I suppose I would come back :) Thanks for your service!

Ordered a strawberry shortcake and earl grey tea this time. The cake was very decent, with them choosing relatively more sour strawberries to balance out the sponge cake and the whipped cream (cream was very milky, I like it too). Earl grey was a great fit, unfortunately it was in a very small portion. The place was pretty cozy, but the seat I was given was hard to read or write. Most of the tables were as tall as my knee… good place to chill but perhaps for a shorter time only.

This is one of my new favorite restaurants in all of Japan, the lunch menu is so delicious, the food is so fresh and well made I really don’t think I’ve had a better meal!! The ambience is fantastic too, I love the music they were playing and the service was lovely! My partner and I barely speak any Japanese and they were still so gracious, inviting, and accommodating. Highly recommend <3

We went to an early lunch on Monday. It was a little hidden but we found it. We can not speak Japanese, but that was no problem as the staff communicated really well and there was a printed english menu. All foods were very delicious, the service is fast and you can enjoy your time in a relaxing atmosphere. Definitely a hidden gem for locals and visitors to the city.
