What a nice, little, cozy place to hang out if you want to get away from the crowds in Kawagoe. We went here on a whim and didn't regret it! The food was nice, as well as the service and the atmosphere of the place -- and you get a super nice view of the street below. Would recommend this to anyone who just needs a breather from the crowds and enjoy a nice meal and drink.

Great cafe with delicious desserts. Very comfortable space to stay and rest after walking through Kawagoe. The window seats were the best and will give you the perfect view of the Little Edo street.

Great view of the old street, short but excellent food menu, we had 3 of the 5 items and they were all excellent. The girl working there was really nice and efficient too!

Nice ambience of cafe at the second floor in the old town. If you travel in summer, this is a very good choice, there is an air conditioner. Panna Cotta is super good, it’s rich of milkiness. Basque Cheesecake is so fluffy and a lil bit of sour taste from lemon. Lemonade Soda is really nice too, it’s refreshing my day with the sweet and sour taste with the jelly and lemon skin.

2nd floor cafe with a welcoming staff and lofi music. You can enjoy a chat with friends and a view of Kawagoe’s old charm. The seats by the window accommodate parties of 3-5. I was alone, so I took a seat at the bar and chatted a bit with the barista. The chairs are plush and you could rest a while in comfort. The coffee was affordable and well made. Thank you.
