Really great little cafe off the side of a side street. English speaking American-Japanese owners w exquisite taste. Whether it’s specialist coffee, lemonade w organic lemons, v fresh salad or hearty chili (on the specials) what they do, they do very well. Lovely art cafe with music to match ~ a little slice of international class amongst the hurdy gurdy. Great place to chat and relax, esp if traveling alone. Will be made to feel very welcome. Deserts divine

オシャレなカフェです The staff can speak English, so it is recommended for foreigners. 영어를 할 수 있는 스탭도 있으므로, 외국인에게도 추천입니다. 店員會說英語,所以推薦給外國人。
