Nice relaxing atmosphere and nice drinks but the shop is not well insulated, in winter is a bit cold. At least near the window. But this is not uncommon in Japan, unfortunately. Pretty cold everywhere.

A kotatsu cafe I cherish a lot in my heart. I spent last christmas here with some friends, we chit chatted for a couple of hours, we had a great lunch and a delicious chocolate cake. The kotatsu experience was great, perfect for December 25th. It was a cute experience but I remember clearly that at some point, even if the store was empty, the owner told us he had to set the table for the next customers... even if there were plenty of tables available. Good food, less good service.

This was an Oasis on a hot day. Match drink lunch sets all perfect. I had bean sandwich salad and the most divine radish soup. My friends loved their meals as well. The place got busy but not noisy, the staff were so friendly. Highlight of our day in Tokyo food wise. Keep up the good work.

Went here on a Sunday afternoon, and had some coffee and lunch. Ordered their veggie curry and enjoyed it! Vegetables were flavorful and cooked well. The ambience was really nice and relaxing - especially their music playlist was enjoyable. Multi-language menu felt also welcoming. A nice cozy place in Shimokitazawa!

Stay happy, this cafe is outstanding and if you visit Tokyo come here to have nice drinks, organic food, best selection of wine and beer, very house but traditional, English speaking, lovely, homemade all chosen with love and taste. This is the place to be, thanks a lot, if we are in Tokyo, we will come again

Really nice and cosy place in the center of Shimokitazawa. It’s this kind of place where you want to relax after trolling around the shopping streets of the area. The interior is really creative and done with love. The food is outstanding! Finally veg/vegan food that is not made for western tourists. Really delicious and Japanese fusion kitchen. The owner is a nice, cool and friendly guy who traveled the world and collects playing cards. Definitely worth to go!
