I like the vibe of this place. Perhaps it’s the decor? Definitely a place I’m adding to my list. I’ve posted some pictures including the google translated menu into English. What to expect: As far as I know, there are two parking spots on the left side of the building. I believe the large parking lot on the right might be shared but I’m not certain. I’ve parked in both with no issues. Once you enter, the sound of the wooden door chime will notify the owner. I’ve read that there are special items on certain days so I’ll have to check back. After you order, you can go upstairs if you want to relax and enjoy. Today I’m having the Cafe Latte with the Shortcake.
