お店の入り口が、わかりにくく一瞬入るのをためらいましたが、勇気を出して入ってよかったです。のんびり1人でコーヒーを飲むことができました。こんなお店が近くにある常連さん達が羨ましかったです。

ここの飲み物も食べ物も展示も全部がツボで大好きな場所です。 全て店主さんが作られてるので数にも限りがあるし、メニューはわりと気まぐれです。 その中で自分の好きなものに出会えたらラッキーです。 魅力的な店主さんなので、店主さんとのお話を求めてきてる方もたくさんいます。身内感が苦手な方はあわない人もいるかも。 そこそこな年数行ってますが、基本ここで「がっかり」したことはほぼ無い気がします。お目当てが品切れでがっかりはあるw 器も食べ物も小物たちも全部良いです。

カウンター席とテーブル席が少しある小さなカフェです。素敵な器や小物に本、爬虫類系の雑貨などが飾られています。時々イベントもされています。ゆっくり1人で訪れたいカフェです。

癒されました〜。ハンドメイドのアートな空間で贅沢に生きる時間をいただいた感覚! 武生国際音楽祭の開演を待つ間、たまたま時間つぶしで出会ったお店。 オリジナルブレンドの珈琲も主張しすぎないバランスの良い中煎りコーヒーで美味しくいただきました。またぜひ訪れたいお店です。
