Kagamitei — Restaurant in Nara

Went here today and sadly I was very disappointed. After walking Nara Park extensively, I really wanted an ice cold drink and a rest rather than just buying a drink from a kiosk in the park. I decided to come to this cafe. The owner told me there was no food to which I said was ok as I just wanted drinks anyway. I also asked whether she offered drinks take away to which she said no. I was still fine with this because I wanted a sit down rest anyway. She sat us down and I felt a little unwelcome but wasn't sure why. I ordered my drink, and my partner did not want anything at the time as there wasn't food or snacks available. I was served, and spent about 20 minutes enjoying the drink and the wonderful view from the windows. When I went to pay, another couple in front of us were also paying and the owner kindly took their money and thanked them. When it was my turn to pay I was met with a very cold silence. I wasn't sure what I had done wrong and I felt saddened as I actually did enjoy my rest and drink that I wanted - everyone in japan has been so lovely! Anyway, all in all, I paid a 450 Yen for one drink in a quiet cafe with unwelcoming service. Unfortunately I won't be recommending this cafe to my friends in their upcoming travels to Nara. I hope the owner finds peace & happiness or more success in the future. All the...

Service was good. All staff was friendly and helpful.

Atmosphere is good. It has a large window that you can see the deers around the park and give you...

good food with good view. thought limited english communication, but can tell their service is top tier and their patty is freshly made on the spot. be warn that the serving time might a bit slow as the chef prepare the dishes one by one to ensure the quality. also it is not crowded during a busy sakura season ( we visited on a...
