Stand out was the fabulous service. Food equally as impressive. We came for breakfast but missed it (finishes at 10.45am) so had the set menu for lunch. Good quality food. The coffee was the best I have had in Japan so far. Take your Google translate as menu is in Japanese. Menu limited which means every meal is spot on.

An excellent cafe. Both in atmosphere and food. The lunch was delicious and very well priced. The coffee I had here was, without a doubt, the best coffee I have tasted so far in my life. Highly recommend.

Cool guys! Friendliest owners I've met so far in Japan. Had the roast beef sandwich and it was really good! The place was well decorated, and the seats were remarkably comfortable. There are no English menus, BUT the restaurant is on Uber and so you can browse the menu on there and show them what you want. Side note, be careful, on Google maps, it is not well located. It is the next street over.

Ate the breakfast sets (includes toast with different types of toppings and a drink). The thick toast really is the star and I'd recommend the croque monsieur (savoury) and ann butter toast (sweet). Friendly owner too! There is no English menu, but there's nothing Google translate cannot solve
