I found the all black interior a bit severe for my taste. More depressing than cool for me. Felt like a bar trying to sell coffee. Latte was pretty good. The brunch breakfast items looked great. Very American in size and flavors. Ordered a yogurt bowl that was ok as the blueberries and strawberries were still frozen. This may have been intentional but weakened flavor. Chicken sandwich was ok with nice smashed bread, but it was the hottest sandwich I have ever had. Think takoyaki hot. Steam pouring off it, had to take off bread just to cool down enough to eat. Servers were very nice but kitchen was very slow. Yogurt took a bit long to come out, however it took another 10 to 15 minutes for the chicken sandwich to arrive. I don’t think I am the target audience...
Read moreWow! We managed to find a restaurant where we could have a more familiar lunch and enjoy a really well-made cappuccino. The dish I ordered was good, although a bit too oily, but after so many days in Japan, I couldn't eat fish for breakfast or lunch anymore. ;) So eggs, some vegetables, and bacon were a better choice. As someone who's maybe not an expert but quite picky when it comes to cappuccino, I must say that this is the first restaurant in Japan where they made a really good cappuccino. Besides, the service was outstanding. The waitresses were very friendly, and the atmosphere of the restaurant was also okay. You can tell it's more of a local spot because it's not crowded...
Read moreThis is a new Cafe in Himeji. About a 10 minute walk from the Himeji Castle. The menu consists of hot sandwiches, granola, breakfast set meals, sweets, espresso-based coffee drinks and a variety of cocktails and alcohol if you're feeling for some day drinking.
This cafe is open from 7am to 5pm, which is convenient as many cafes in the area aren't really open for breakfast, or until 11.
The staff is very friendly and can speak English, Japanese, and some Spanish. The menu is in both English/Japanese, so ordering can be a breeze.
The atmosphere is cozy, the coffee is great, the gin list is enjoyable and oh of course the food...
