Came to this small and adorable coffee shop near my apartment in Nakijin! I asked what they would recommend they told me a caramel macchiato is the best choice, so I went with that! I had a great time trying to explain if they could sub the milk for almond milk since I’m lactose, took like 5 mins with my bad Japanese lol, but ended up getting oat milk. To conclude the story, it was delicious and the people here were kind and welcoming! A must go! ごちそさまでした!

What a great latte. We got the brown sugar latte. Was very good. Wish it was closer to my house because I’d go everyday if I could.

My local friend drove me here for a morning coffee before starting the day. It was a nice, comfy, cozy place with a few seats. Certainly not ur every day, big city coffee shop that has tons of traffic. If u prefer the roadside relaxing scene, then this is ur place. The staff was very nice and the drive was yummy. If u are in the area, then u should really check it out

Make sure you stir your coffee lol if you got the one I got it defiantly made a difference in sweetness. The ladies here were super sweet and patient for you to take your order. I do recommend that when you drive up take a right into the parking right next to the building. The atmosphere was lovely, kids where out being kids and I recommend coming here. My boyfriend being the fat hobbit he is said we have to because he liked mine more than his . Hope to see y'all there next time. Let's put this place on the map!!

Excellent coffee! At most cafes the coffee is too sour. This coffee was not sour at all. The owners are very friendly. We talked as they were roasting some coffee beans on-site over a fire oven. The location is quaint and peaceful.
