Quaint little antique and coffee cake house. Totally recommend enroute to or back from ikeda castle. Shopkeeper is a lovely person who make the best light yet flavourful coffee.

Stopped for a coffee but ended up staying for a cake as well! I had the Mont Blanc and it was extremely good, very balanced and tasted quite fresh! The meringue had a lovely texture, I am generally not a fan but this one really blew me away! The coffee was also very tasty, the blend is special and picked by the owner! I definitely recommend this cafe if you happen to be around Ikeda!

A quaint, lovely little cafe run by two nice people. My tea was excellent. A little antique shop attached. If I lived in this neighbourhood, I would make it my local cafe.

This cafe has such a calming atmosphere. Cozy and cute! The chocolate cake is the best I've had in Japan so far. Very moist and rich. Pairs well with a black coffee

Wonderful drinks and desserts, and a well kept selection of antiques that are actually quite interesting, including pottery and dishware. They may have vinyl as well, I only saw it on my way out the door.

土曜日の13時過ぎに伺いました。店内には2組のお客さんがいてテーブル席1つだけ空いていました。その他店前の外テーブルが1つありましたが、次々とお客さんが来てあっという間に満席になっていました。駐車場は向かいの20分100円に停めました。イチジクのかき氷とリモンチェッロのかき氷を頼んでみました。どちらもスッキリさっぱり系で美味しくてお値段もリーズナブル。イチジクはとても美味しかったのですが、少しソースが足りない感じがしました。リモンチェッロはカクテルをかき氷にした感じ。アルコールたっぷりの爽やかな苦味と酸味のある大人味で、お酒に弱い私はベロベロに酔っ払って幸せ気分になってしまいました。運転する人には厳禁ですが昼飲みかき氷最高でした。
