Went here after class after looking for a place to study. So glad I went here. The iced cafe au lait is delicious. Jazz music was playing and the ambience was so nice to get work down. Lots of solo tables for 1 or 2 people, but they also have long communal tables with outlets where you can plug your gadgets. Will be coming back here often. Good place if you want to get work done.

It’s a franchised cafe so nothing is special about the coffee and food you would order here. Then what distinguishes one franchise from another? From my perspective, it’s Atmosphere and Amenities! This cafe furnished all the seats with outlets and stable Wi-Fi, was very spacious and immaculate. Best franchise cafe to study or work in this vicinity :)))

The lady that served me was very kind and patient with me despite my limited Japanese. It’s a nice place and pretty busy. I noticed many people on their laptops doing their work as there are many outlets on the wall that let them charge their devices. I ordered a sandwich and a caramel latte which I really enjoyed. I will definitely be coming here in the future while I work!

Our destination was actually the ramen shop across the street, but the queue was long enough to make us divert to this shop. Quite a surprise, because the spaghetti was so good, that we bought it 2x because the taste is suitable for children. I like the taste of the coffee, it's quite mild and I don't need to add anything else. As for sandwiches, kids love them. The store atmosphere is also comfortable. Some of the guests are busy reading books and their laptops. Quite worthy for the atmosphere and food.
