The interior has a chic, calming feel with dim lighting. The weather was nice today, so I had a latte on the open terrace. The cafe latte, carefully prepared, was very good, and I had a pleasant time enjoying the fresh air outside.

This time, instead of coffee, I had a milk soft serve. The weather was so nice that day, so I took a terrace seat. The breeze felt great, and why does soft serve taste so good when you eat it outside…♡The flavor had a rich milk taste, and the sweetness was nicely restrained.

They say the star here is the coffee, made from in-house roasted beans and carefully brewed by hand drip. They offer a wide range, from bold cups with firm bitterness and body to bright ones with a strong acidity.
This is the "Noko Pudding (Rich Pudding)." It lets you enjoy the deep flavor of eggs, with a natural sweetness that tastes great and pairs well with coffee.
In the display case inside the shop, rows of cakes are lined up, so you can choose while looking at them.
The popular tiramisu has a thin sheet of chocolate layered in the center. Reviews also say the coffee soaked sponge and the crisp snap of the chocolate are a great match.
This café was a calm space surrounded by greenery, where you can forget the hustle and bustle of the city. The interior has glass walls and an open feel, and the terrace seating is also comfortable and great for a relaxing time. The coffee is house-roasted and smells wonderful, and there is a wide variety of sweets, with the tiramisu being especially excellent.

The terrace was full of greenery, and with a fireplace every two seats it did not feel very cold at all, giving it an amazing atmosphere that hardly felt like Shibuya, and the firm purin (custard pudding) and generous latte made me so happy!

Although it is in Shibuya, a major area where crowds gather, this was a quiet restaurant that made you forget the bustle. They showed us to a seat near the window, so we could enjoy the nighttime view reflected in the mirror. The small terrace, with its slight light-up, is charming too.

The drink came with plenty of coffee jelly and fresh cream, and it was tasty without being too sweet!! Even without adding gum syrup or anything like that, the sweetness of the fresh cream was enough! I was also happy that they warmed up the scones! Inside, there are table seats and counter seats, plus terrace seating too! Since it is located along the way when changing trains at the station, it is easy to stop by for a quick visit(^^)

This is one of my favorite places that I often visit on my days off◎The katsu sandwich is really delicious, and even though it uses Tenderloin, it is tender and crispy, so I order it every time! The inside has a lovely atmosphere too, but this time I sat on the terrace! The weather was nice, and since it is tucked away on a back street, it was quiet around us and just perfect◎

You can come here for both a meal and tea, and the seating is spacious. There is also terrace seating, and even though it is close to central Shibuya, this space alone felt like a place where you could relax a little. I had the jerk chicken plate, and it was quite good.

My favorite is the terrace seating, where you can take in the atmosphere of people passing by in Shibuya and the feel of the Jinnan area. The food is stylish too. The hamburgers are excellent! The fries are also good. The pancakes are fluffy! Right in the heart of Shibuya, this is a great place to enjoy a stylish space and delicious food, so I recommend it! The seating is spacious and comfortable too.

This cafe has an open feel you would never expect in Shibuya, with a terrace featuring a pool that really stands out. Including the indoor space, the whole place has a resort feel, and that sense of being somewhere out of the ordinary is part of its charm. This time, I stopped by for coffee and sweets. The sweets were solid quality, more than enough to leave me fully Manzoku for a cafe visit. Paired with the coffee, I was able to enjoy a relaxing time.
