RAG CAFE ［ragged edge coffee house］ — Restaurant in Kawagoe

This coffee shop frequently appears in my searches for top cafés in Kawagoe, and I've been wanting to visit it for a while. It's located about a 10-minute walk from the station, slightly off the main street. To get there, you take a right turn from Crea Mall and walk straight; the café is on the second floor, accessible by stairs. When I visited, it was quite busy, with many elderly customers and nearly all the seats were occupied. They offer a discounted dessert set in the afternoon if you order a coffee. The coffee itself was quite good, and the atmosphere was very relaxed. I haven't tried the lunch set yet, and I paid for my drink in cash...

Cool little restaurant. Big tables with some sofa-like seating. Relaxed and kid friendly. Nice selection of beer with most bottles around 800 yen. Lunch dishes were mostly under 1000 yen. Adults must buy a drink. The food was pretty good, lots of veggies. The jerk chicken was great. They are serious about their rules. You have to finish everything or take it home in a 50 yen container. I don`t know if you can bring your own doggy bag to avoid that fee. Even a little onion or lettuce has to be finished or brought home. Overall the atmosphere was a big draw and I'll be going back to try some of the beers I haven't seen...
