店內空間很小 只有兩個二人桌和兩個四人桌 我抵達的時候剛好剩最後一桌 雖然跟老闆語言不通 但老闆還是很熱情的介紹 最後點了茶和桃子蛋糕 茶很冰涼 香味也很夠 蛋糕非常優秀 鮮奶油非常濃郁 蛋糕體Q彈 下方的餅乾部分又脆又甜 提供了蛋糕主要的甜味 旁邊的桃子切塊很新鮮 布丁也很好吃 在這邊坐了一個下午 非常舒服 離開的時候忘記跟老闆付錢了 老闆還要出來叫我 不好意思

Small, serene, beautiful cafe just beside Toyano lagoon. The way they serve the desserts are extremely aesthetically pleasant. Everything is handmade and served with care and a personalized touch. They have plenty of drink options from coffee to herb tea, and the desserts are amazing. Moreover the price range is extremely affordable compared to the service. Highly recommend for a relaxing time with friends.

お皿の上にフルーツがふんだんに乗っていてどれも新鮮で、ケーキもとても濃厚で美味しかったです。 ティラミスとレアチーズを頼みましたが、一口一口が濃厚なので、小さめサイズでちょうど良かったです。 見た目は普通の民家のような感じなのでわかりにくいですが、また絶対いきたいと思います。

ケーキが絶品! 種類がたくさんあって、どれも美味しそうでしたが、ピスタチオと洋梨のタルトと、アーモンドのタルトを注文しました。 優しい雰囲気のオーナーさんが丁寧に盛り付けをしてくださって、いちごや洋梨などのフルーツ・クッキーなど盛りだくさんの飾りが付いてきました。 ケーキはひとつひとつ丁寧に作られたのが伝わってくる優しい味わいで、ペロリと食べれます。 紅茶はロンネフェルト、珈琲は東京の吉祥寺「珈琲散歩」から取り寄せているとのことで、こだわるだけありとても美味しかったです。 店内は居心地の良い雰囲気で、ゆっくりできます。 是非また行きたいと思えるお店でした。

The atmosphere is cozy and the service is amazing, even by Japanese standards. The menu is almost entirely katakana, so we had a fun time sounding out what most of the items were. The coffee and treats are reasonably priced and extra tasty. We will be coming again and sharing with friends.
