The food was amazing, we had spaghetti and it was one of the best i have ever had. The owner was also super nice and had a great music taste, very fitting for the Café. Take care and thank you!

We walked all the way from Kanazawa City to the beach and stumbled upon this charming little café/restaurant. The food was delicious, and the owners were incredibly friendly and welcoming. We highly recommend stopping by if you’re in the area!

Amazing curry, coffee, matcha red bean soft serve, and fantastic service from a kind couple running one of the most vibey seaside cafes of all time.

We cycled along the river to here and stopped for a hot drink. The owners were very friendly and nice. The yuzu tea was amazing. We didn’t eat as it was mid afternoon but the food looked good on the menu photos. I recommend a stop here if you are cycling towards the coast.

I loved the cozy atmosphere of the cafe. The view of the mountains is beautiful. I'll definitely go back again. I ate the green curry and I had ice vanilla soft cream. It was delicious. The owner treatment was kind and attentive.

Found this place after a beach walk. Was a Monday so usually closed, but the owner was there and came out to greet us on the deck. Was about to close up but was happy to make us a cuppa. Nice coffee and a peach tea, and a great host willing to chat for about 20 minutes. Well worth the stop.
