I've been coming here with my travel bud for over a week and every single time we've been here it's a joy, the food is simple but very well done, large selection of non alcoholic beverages, all very good, a really nice ambience and just the sweetest restaurant owners you can imagine. The entire place is run by (I think) an older lady and her husband and they're great, don't speak English very well but you can communicate quite well to order and for everything more you can use a translator tool with the free WiFi in the establishment. Love my time here every day that's why it's become a morning ritual every day of my stay so far (as far as they have open) Every picture taken was from a meal I have had here given to me the way it is without any editing. 5 stars in all categories

Such a cute cafe. It’s very cozy and love the couple that served us. Very kind and patient even when we don’t speak Japanese. Wished I knew about this shop earlier in my trip, only came here on my last day.

So glad we came here on a whim. Very cozy, quiet cafe with antique decor, run by the nicest owners. You can tell they really care about providing quality coffee and service. Our cappuccinos were literally perfect and even came with a cinnamon stick <3

Sweet little place to get simple but excellent coffee. Also the cakes are very good and not really expensive. The owners are wholesome and even though they don’t speak English very well, it is possible to communicate with simple words and order.

THE sweetest cafe owners anywhere (pictured), and the coziest setting. Food is simple and straightforward, but great. So worth your time to visit!

Amazing antique, classic, traditional feeling cafe. Elders are running this cafe, and the barister is very skilled at making distilled coffee. Here, the egg sandwich is one of the must. The barister makes the egg right after your order so that the sandwich is very warm and tasty. Price is very reasonable. The food amount is good enough. The coffee is awesome. Strongly recommend here!

My favourite breakfast is something not in the menu: toast with butter and strawberry jam. It reminds me childhood in Italy, absolutely incredible. The owners are super kind and sweet.
