前から行きたかったお店です。壁に向かって1人机で食べるって本当に落ち着きます。 キーマカレーの「少量」はどんなに少ないのかな?と思いましたが、意外と多くて個人的にはお昼にぴったりの理想的量でした。 ただ、少量や単品のオーダーの際は飲み物も頼まなくてはなりません。飲み物はどれもカレーより高い長居設定のお値段ということですね。そういう意味ではささっと食べて出るのはもったいないお店です。 カレー美味しかったです!お皿も素敵ですがスプーンとの相性は良くないかな。木のスプーンなら音がしなくて良いと思いますがお店では難しいですよねー。 次回はもっとゆっくりできる時に伺います。

친구와 함께 방문했습니다. 힘든 시간을 보내고 있었는데 고요하고 편안한 분위기, 맛있는 밥에 매료되었습니다. 좋은 시간과 배려 감사드립니다. 친구가 주인장님을 그려줬는데, 맘에 드셨으면 좋겠습니다. 맛있고 건강한 밥상 감사합니다! 私が置いて行った資料、走ってきて持ってきてくださってありがとうございます。

Cozy neighborhood spot with great vibes and great food. They even have a mini locker to literally lock away your phone so you can focus on work or a good book, or to just chill and chat with the restaurant owner and chef who has poured his heart and soul into the details, and it really shows. :) good job.

After visiting this place, it’s one of my favorites in Tokyo. A great vibe and such a laidback environment. Music is great and so is Hikaru, who serves with a smile. The blend coffee was excellent and the the pound cake (which was warm) with whipped cream and roasted walnuts was simple but delicious. I’ll definitely be back to support this place.

1人時間を楽しむために作らるた喫茶店です。そのため1人での入店をお願いされています。 1オーダー/時間だったかな。 1人1人のスペースは、スタバなどより広めに設定されていて、作業するのに申し分ないです。 店主が考えた美味しく安全なメニューがあり、食事もあるため長居可能です。 本も置いてあり貸し出し可能とのこと。 図書館のテーブルスペースとカフェのいいとこ取りのお店です。 ワーキングスペースより人の温かみのある場所で作業したいなと思われる方是非。 勿論、短時間利用も出来ます。

I visited this cafe last month on a short trip to Tokyo after exploring a hydrangea garden. This is such a great cafe for solo visitors to escape the summer heat and enjoy some time with a book/notebook or just their thoughts. The AC is strong, the food is tasty, and the iced coffee is so easy to drink. I recommend that visitors who do not speak Japanese take a moment to look at the menu photos available here and translate the guidelines for this cafe, as to not burden the kind owner with the task of explaining them. He's a one-man show, preparing all of the food and drinks himself, and doing it all wonderfully. I look forward to visiting again on my next trip to Tokyo.

I was feeling kind of weird about being in Tokyo on my own until I stumbled upon this place. I felt so welcome and relaxed and the food was gorgeous.

Lovely cafe. I really like the sweet red beans and butter toast. Also, their chai was very good, even though it is not their speciality. Overall, I would not say you should go their from the other edge of Tokyo. But if you are in the area, it is a good place to escape the Tokyo buzz and enjoy some "alone time".
