In our busy lives, we are always in a hurry but sometimes its good to stop for some fresh air and relax. Haluuu was just like that breath of fresh air on a busy day.
We came across this cozy, warm and beautifully designed cafe during our day trip to Setagaya. The owner and the staff were extremely friendly and caring. They were very accommodating since we had a little child with us and they went above and beyond to help us. The ambience of the place was very international, welcoming and thoughtfully designed. Last but not the least, the sandwiches were delicious and my mother, who tasted fruit sandwiches for the first time, became a big fan of them.
Must visit if you are in the vicinity. Best wishes...

The woman working there when I went was very friendly and accommodating. Make a stop for one if you’re...
