雰囲気の良いプールバーかと思いきや料理も美味しい!パスタは本格的で手作りスイーツもレベル高でした。普通に飲み会で使っても大満足でした。 ソファでくつろげるので二次会にもピッタリのまったり癒し空間ですねー。

We visited the Sakurao brewery nearby and wanted to grab a drink nearby and found this place via Google maps - WHAT A FIND! Super cool, retro eclectic vibe. Coffee, drinks, food all great. We played pool for an hour and they have a dart board too. The host Nico was so lovely and spoke good English, which was helpful for us non Japanese speaking Brits! Wish we’d had more time there to sample more drinks.

This atmosphere is cozy and the owner (Niko) is super welcoming. Please come and enjoy the food, drinks, live music, and of course the pool! I might ask about tabletop games in the future. :) 10/10 will come back.

It is one of the best cafe bars I have ever been to. Aside from it was close to the station, the vibe was great too! If you love books and/or music, it's definitely a place to go. You can also play pool, darts and piano :) Would definitely go back there soon!

It's a real cozy cafe & bar with nice ambience. They serve great drip coffee, dessert and food. They have darts and pool so also a great place for chilling at night.

Dieses Cafe und Restaurant ist das Beste, das ich seit meinem Aufenthalt in Japan besucht habe! Es hat eine sehr vertraute, warme, etwas klassisch-nostalgische und angenehme Atmosphäre. Überall stehen Bücher und Kunst herum, es gibt ein Klavier und man kann auch Billard spielen. Das Essen ist sehr lecker, und der Besitzer ist so freundlich! Sowohl der Kaffee, als auch die Kuchen / Desserts und Speisen sind sehr lecker. Ich würde sofort wiederkommen! Vielen lieben Dank!!!

数年前に、アーティストのライブで行った事があります。 音響もよくてよかったです。今回、ラストファーストのアコースティックライブしっとりした曲が多く、落ち着いた感覚でライブが聴けてよかったです。椅子数が少なく、私が座ったソファー。余りにも沈みしすぎて顔をあげてライブを観ました。(笑) ここのパスタも美味しい〜とか 今度、食べに行きたいと思います。
