The best places are just like this coffee Shop, unexpectedly amazing. if you are in the city and want to grab a snack or a meal, you might look here before you go somewhere else. From the music to the food you won't be disappointed. Not to forget the warmth of the staff. and to prove the words above check out the picture.

お昼時はいつも並んでいるので予約がベスト! 週末ランチは1500円くらい。量は物足りなかったけど味はまぁまぁ良かったです。というか周辺はチェーン店ばかりで優良カフェが少ないので…このレベルの店があるだけてありがたく感じます。 オムライスがとろとろでした。男性には足りないだろうし時間制限もあります。 食後は別のカフェありきかな~。

前から気になっていましたが、いつも賑わっている印象だったのでタイミングが合わず、今回ようやくお邪魔できました! 落ち着いた雰囲気でゆっくりリラックスできるお洒落なカフェです。 食事も美味しく快適に過ごせて良かったです! 今度はデザートもいただきたいなと思います(^^)

Such a fun cafe for lunch! I really liked the atmosphere and the food was terrific. I was also thrilled to see a Nick Drake album on the wall (a first for me in Japan). I will definitely visit again!
