Gorgeous relaxed cafe on the west side of Nagoya city centre. Located in a quiet residential area. Chill vibes, minimalistic decor. Local crafts and goods on display and for sale. Coffees, teas, curries and cannolis. Nice place to hang for a while.

Such a gorgeous and lovely coffee shop! We are very happy that we found it. Had the coffee and bacon maple toast, and the special Christmas menu: Christmas Gems - all awesome! And Taka is such a kind and friendly host~ thank you very much for your hospitality!

Very cute café! One of the few that I found in Japan where the coffee is of high quality and tastes like it should when freshly prepared by a barista. I really enjoyed the roast! Furthermore, the cafe has a modern but welcoming ambiente and the staff is super friendly. Would recommend!

The whole family devoured the morning set - pancakes with bacon and the two pour over coffees we tried were really delicious.
