Absolutely loved the rustic decor, the vibes are immaculate. I got ginger ale which paired really well with my chocolate cake. The staff are really friendly and it was great just to relax and read. Also recommend if you want to catch up with friends here. One of the best cafés in the city in my opinion. Great job

前菜が美味しく、しっかり野菜を取れて嬉しい。 メインもキーマカレー、ガパオライス、ホットサンド全て美味しかったです。 コーヒーは癖がなく個人的には非常に好みでした。酸味が無いコーヒーが好きな方にオススメです。 4人で座れるテーブルは一つしかないので、2人〜3人で行くのが安全かもしれません。

The salad is amazing. Main courses are very delicious. Although the space is not very big, overall it’s comfortable.

由「 文翔館」徒步前來大約5-6分鐘可以抵達,會選擇這家咖啡廳除了人氣「プリン」另一個就是復古與帶有原野鄉村風味的裝飾。 一開始看地圖還有些迷惑,咖啡廳的實際位置是在十字入口左轉後的T字路口,旁邊是「尚美堂」。 進入後室內搭配低色溫的燈光,第一眼給人是一種「溫馨」的感覺,咖啡廳有供餐也可以單純享用下午茶,由於我們是午茶時段並沒有辦法提供海外預約,因此要現場排隊。 不過還好尖峰時段已過,剛好有一組客人結帳,我們順勢入座,當天即便已經過了PM15:00裡面還是高朋滿座,一直到離開前客人才陸續離席。 我們點了一些飲料與甜品: ▲飲み物 ▶ボタコーヒー(HOT) ▶ボタコーヒー(ICE) ▶ジンジャエール ▶ウーロン茶 ▲デザート ▶ガトー・ショコラは ▶チーズケーキ ▶アーモンドフロランタン 印象比較深刻的飲料與甜品: 「ガトー・ショコラは」 巧克力蛋糕比例調配的相當不錯,特別是入口帶點微苦又甘甜還有類似白蘭地的香氣,拿來搭配「ボタコーヒー」(HOT) 是絕佳組合,特別適合喜歡濃郁巧克力又甘中帶苦的朋友。 「ジンジャエール」 第一次嚐試這款飲品,對於首次飲用的人來說第一口的味道很特殊也難以形容但入喉後的薑味是明確的,第二口再飲用原來那特殊氣味是來自「丁香」,這是一款風味獨特的飲料若有機會前來可以試試看。 這裡的「ボタコーヒー」是帶著濃郁風味的深烘培咖啡,口感醇厚入口回甘相當適合搭配甜點,比較可惜是沒有吃到「プリン」,因為前來時已經完售,一直到我們結帳離開時才看到新的一批「プリン」出爐,記得若有機會來此巧遇一定要點來吃吃看,因為無法外帶。 再享用咖啡廳所提供的下午茶後,我們順路前往旁邊的「水の町屋七日町御殿堰 」參觀,這也是今日「夕食」前的最後一個景點。
