With every visit, you might just find new reasons to return—maybe to try the anticipated strawberry French toast or the rich an-butter combo that has also earned high praise.

フレンチトーストもコーヒーも大変美味しかったです。雰囲気も良く、店員さんも優しそうな寡黙そうかなと思いましたが、大変柔らかくて良かったです! また季節限定の味を食べに行きたいと思います。

This was a very nice cafe that was shared with me. I’m glad I visited as the French toast was quite nice. The food was nice and juicy and very fresh. The people running it were super nice. I enjoyed it and would like to try it again. The shop was nice.

前から食べたかった桃のフレンチトースト、桃の時期だし夏休みだし混んでるかな…て思ったけど、お昼頃に行ったら空いてました。 桃は福島産の桃丸々1個使っています。 来た瞬間に甘い香りがフワッとして、食欲そそる香りでペロッと食べちゃいました。 また季節を変えて違うフルーツのフレンチトーストを食べてみたいです。
