The café boasts a cozy and rustic interior, radiating an atmosphere that encourages relaxation and heartfelt conversations.

Delicious apple strudel, and a great cup of coffee. This is also a good place to buy old-fashioned type cookies. They have frozen yogurt!

Had a wonderful conversation with the owner. Ordered his homemade mint tea (mint is fresh from the garden) and paired it with the Chestnut tart and apple tart. I can really feel the love of homemade baking. A lot of passion is put into the offerings here. The atmosphere is so peaceful and I felt like I could spend hours with a book and beverage. Everything here was exceptional and I will definitely visit again. Highly recommended!

外国の老紳士と奥様のゆったりペースでのサービスが環境とお店の雰囲気と相まっていい空気を生み出している気がしました。 どのメニューも身体にも良さそうです

經過這間店家旁就被烤蛋糕的香味吸引 店家佈置的非常精緻溫馨,好喜歡 7月底的早上10點多坐在露天座位區 不會覺得熱,且有徐徐涼風吹來 點了¥1450的套組 有一杯飲料(我選紅茶) 一塊蛋糕(我選起司口味) 還有一小塊冰淇淋 個人覺得口味還不錯呢

カントリー調であたたかい雰囲気のある心地よいカフェでした。 手作りのクッキーとケーキがいただけます。 店主のカナダ人の男性が、色々とお話ししてくれました。1聞くと10返してくれるくらい、お話好きで気さくな店主でした。 ケーキの原材料もシンプルでこだわっているみたいです。 奥の席には帽子も売られていました。 また機会があれば訪れたいです。

2025年GW ROCKの待ち時間が2時間だったのであきらめてたどり着いたカフェ。 たまたまだったけど、結果雰囲気がよくてお料理もおいしくて大満足だった。 トマトスープについてたスコーンが美味しかった。きのこのパスタはそんなにオイリーじゃないので最後までおいしくいただきました。 注文時店員さんを呼ぶのに、テーブルのベルを鳴らすんだろうなあと思いつつ鳴らしたらすぐにきてくれたので、ベルで呼ぶは正解でした ペット同伴OKのテラス席もあるで、ペット連れの方にもよさそうです。

お盆休みにランチを食べようと思って、検索していきました。もう2時を過ぎていましたが、はじめは満席で待ちがあり、一度、離れてもう一回行ったらちょうど空きました。 エアコンがないので、まぁまぁ暑いです 朝からきっと凄い人出だったのでしょうか、店の方はちょっとゲンナリしている様子でした。クッキーは売り切れていてなく、人気の?チーズケーキもありませんでした。 提供は早かったです。 またゆったりできるときに行きたいお店ですね。
