The traditional dessert we had was very yummy. The coffee was abit mild for me but my hubby enjoyed his iced latte. Very friendly and sweet staff too. Do come by for a relaxing afternoon if you are around the area.

Friendly and very polite Service. Made me feel good. Relaxing atmosphere: perfect after a long walk in the districts of Kanazawa. I had a Matcha Latte which was tasteful. My mood went up after that experience and I highly recommend that authentic Japanese place. Thanks to the nice people there who served my girlfriend and me. :)

Staff was very friendly and place was clean! She provided me with a menu with English and photos. We ordered the matcha pistachio parfait, and two drinks. The layers of the parfait were distinguishable, fresh, and absolutely delicious. I loved the different textures and it was not that sweet. Just perfect. It paired nice with our ice tea and ice latte. We were very satisfied!

It was a rainy afternoon and I saw cafe that promised coffee, tea, sweets and menu in English. Menu indeed was well translated and offered short description of taste and content. So I went for hot black tea and signature parfait from local sweets. It was good portion and interesting experience. Sipping black tea, I watched rain go down the street and felt relaxed after long day of walking. Thank the stuff)

The calm and comfortable atmosphere, along with the great and friendly service, really made this a pleasant spot. It's perfect for a rest stop or a relaxed catch-up. Having a restroom available was also a plus. While the matcha quality was decent, the dessert was perhaps a little average.

A cozy and really nice cafe that serves desserts, wagashi, coffee and tea. The staff is super friendly and the quality of the food is really high. I came back multiple times while in Kanazawa to try different desserts, they also have seasonal flavours and options.
