- Best for
- A slow courtyard coffee with stone-drip egg coffee and strawberry, black sesame, or matcha fromage cake.
- Don't miss
- Stone-drip egg coffee with brûléed foam, which reviewers rate above matcha; the back building can have seats when the front is full.
- Reviewers found seats around 11 on weekday mornings.
- Skip if
- You need takeaway cake; it is not packaged here.
- At peak times, there is no queue system for tables.
- You need level access; the stone path and steps rule out wheelchairs and strollers.
- Winter drafts would bother you; reviewers found the rooms cold even with heaters on.
