CAFETINO MT.FUJI — Restaurant in Fujikawaguchiko

We came here everyday for a couple days after having an excellent experience on the first day and we do not regret it. The food is consistently good. My favorites are the nº1 perfect sandwich and the salted caramel pancake. The local coffee bean recommended from the staff was also spot on. There is a waiting list to sign in inside when you arrive and we normally had to wait for 10 to 15 minutes but it was worth it, however it gets more customers after 9h30 so I would say the waiting time could be longer. As I understand that to keep the service efficient sometimes we can't expand too much, I still feel that the only suggestion I can give would be to put a couple tables outside as well when possible, at least when the weather is nice...

Great place for a cozy stop on your way around the lake. Especially after the bad experience we had earlier in one of the tourist scam places with a view on the other lake side.

You will find very warm and friendly English speaking staff here, who actually care about their place, food and customers. One pancake was served half-done, however, they handled it professionally and brought a fresh one fast with extra ice cream.

We loved the pancakes and the Japanese pasta. You could improve the coffee and the queueing. Some tables remained uncleaned and empty for quite a while with customers waiting outside.

We would definitely recommend a visit here! 4/5 stars in total, but we add an extra star for the coziness and warmth we felt...

Cafe Tino is a 10/10 cafe! I came right when it opened on a Friday and the owner was super nice, warm, and friendly. The service was quick and the food and drinks were delicious and perfect.

I got a cafe latte, choco banana parfait, New York bacon and cheddar cheese sandwich, and my friend got an earl grey tea. The coffee and tea were brewed to perfection and all the food were fresh. The inside was homey, clean, and comfortable. The total was about ¥2,300 or $16 (at the time of my currency). I truly enjoyed my brunch!!

Lastly, the Red Line sightseeing bus from Kawaguchiko Station takes you to a block away from the cafe, so it’s only a 5 minute walk or less. Very convenient to a quiet neighborhood...
