基本注文したもの以外の撮影は禁止です。 趣のある建物の中にある、落ち着いた雰囲気のカフェ。懐かしい雰囲気があります。 コーヒー、かなり美味しいです。 デザートも何種類か色々あります。 今の時期焼きリンゴがたまらないです。 入れ替わりで色んな物作りの方ともコラボされてて、手作りのピアスやイヤリング、ブローチなどが置いてます。

お洒落で落ち着いた雰囲気です。外観などの撮影は禁止されてますが、お料理は撮影可になってました。野菜中心で、一見物足りなそうに見えますが、お腹いっぱいになりましたねー。味はあっさりめですが、私的にはちょうど良かったです。ランチは、日替わりが2食のみ。ご飯と、パンが選べます。パンの方はバーガーでしたね。かなりのボリュームでした。次回はぜひ

900円で雰囲気のいい和モダンな空間で美味しい手作りだろう思われるカレーが食べれます。3種類内から1種類または2種類カレー選択出来ます。 こんな事言うと失礼かもですが、表通りから奥まった所に立地している為か平日はほとんど人がいない為、静かにご飯が頂けます

料理好きなオーナー女子。味つけ、また、ビジュアル的にステキな盛り付けはいつも感心します。清潔感が漂い安心して食べれます。販売されている小物もクオリティーが高く、コスパもよく、ついつい買ってしまう、危険なお店(笑)私の大のお気に入りです。いつもありがとうございます。
