Very cute place with a cozy atmosphere. I had a room to myself and was able to read without any pressure to buy more than one thing. The owner is very kind and responsive. All books are in Japanese of course, but he was able to help me find the kind of book that I wanted.

Cozy cafe with a friendly owner. There are books you can read while enjoying your drink or light meal. Might have just been my timing, but whenever I visited there was some event going on, so I couldn't check out the main space. Also cute cats hanging around.

落ち着いた雰囲気のお店で、書棚には本がたくさん並んでいて楽しいです。 最近ハマっているのはミルク入りのアイスティー。量が多く、一杯でとても満足できます。フードメニューも優しい味つけで、副菜まで美味しいです!

230902初訪問しました。店主さんが、なんと駐車場まで、出迎えてくれました。店内には興味深い本が沢山置かれています。約10年前に開店したとの事ですが、Googleマップを見ていなければ、発見できなかったかもしれないです。初めて飲んだケニア紅茶が大変美味でした。ひとりでこの空間を貸し切りという贅沢を味わってしまいました。
