The orange ginger latte was fantastic — I kept thinking about it during my 17 day visit to Japan and never found any latte as good. The lemon cake was a little dry for my taste, but the warm banana cake was very good! The atmosphere is nice and I wish I had the chance to visit again.

Popped in for a brief lunch -- basil, tomato, and cheese sandwiches; coffee drinks for the adults; cake for the kids -- and we were blown away. Orange cappuccino and orange-ginger latte were perfectly balanced and insanely delicious, sandwiches were excellent, and cakes were so tasty. They have menus in Japanese (obviously) and English. Highly recommend!

Amazing Coffee, very nice service. Heart shaped warm beverage. Dark clouds rolling in. Cool winter breeze, heart warming drink. May not be the best attempt at a haiku. But definitely one of the better coffees :)

A cafe with a very nice atmosphere. With their big windows, you can enjoy your coffee while watching the scenery outside. The cafe itself is a little bit small so you might have to wait because it's quite popular

Cute little cafe with very nice decoration. I like their coffee a lot. They are just how I like my coffee. The pudding is very fine, smell nice of caramel and served with ice cream on top. The matcha adffogato was also very nice. The location is a bit far to walk from korinbo in this hot weather but I still recommend you to come and enjoy!

Found this place online and it was on our route to Nishi Chaya so we popped in for brunch. Quirky little place, friendly helpful staff, and really nice atmosphere. Had some really nice sandwiches with a side of very tasty potato salad and even more very tasty grated carrots. Ginger latte and espresso cheese-cake also very nice.

I happened to see this place as I was walking down the street. The employees are very friendly and they have an English menu. I asked what they recommended for something with coffee and was recommended an orange soda with espresso. It was a unique combination I've never had before, but was very good. The espresso added a great flavor. I would definitely come back when I'm in the area.
