The fruit sandwich was delicious, with lightly sweetened cream that brought out the sweetness of the fruit. There are so many sandwich variations and combinations that I’ll probably have a hard time choosing if I get the chance to visit again.

I ordered an iced orange café au lait and houjicha (roasted green tea) pudding. The moment I took one sip of the orange café au lait, it was so good it felt revolutionary. It was seriously so good I still can't forget it. The pudding is on the small side, but it's very rich, so it's highly satisfying.

The house made "rare cheesecake" has a tangy flavor and a texture close to pudding. The tart crust is crisp and tasty, too.

The coffee is carefully selected and tastes great. The toast is also good, made with chewy bread, and the portion is solid. The atmosphere of the shop is spot on.

You can choose from 3 types of blended coffee, and I picked the bitter one. It had no acidity at all, and it was exactly the kind of flavor I love! The inside also had a super cute retro kissaten (Japanese-style coffee shop) feel. I went around noon on Sunday, and it was not that crowded, so I could relax and take my time!

・Melon Cream Soda
A classic old-school cream soda! The vanilla ice cream has a gentle sweetness and really gives off that classic kissaten (Japanese coffee shop) feel! A lot of the melon syrup settles at the bottom, so it might not taste like much unless you stir it! The cherry on top is cute too

I ordered the mini Hamburger Steak beef curry from the lunch menu. I also ordered a hot coffee for after the meal. The curry came on a large plate with salad, and while it was not that spicy, it had a rich beef flavor and was very tasty.

The signature pudding is a classic firm set style, with the rich taste of eggs. It is mildly sweet, and the balance with the slightly bitter caramel is just right. The cream on top is also light, which keeps it from feeling heavy all the way to the last bite.

The tamago sando (egg sandwich) was soft and fluffy with a gentle texture☆ Thicker than the bread? It was a hearty sandwich and very Manzoku! The flavor was mild but still nicely rich, which I really liked☆

The cheese toast is made with thick cut toast loaded with meat sauce and cheese. It is the kind of treat that lets you take a relaxing break. The sweets are great too, but this is a place where I also love the toast menu.

Hot coffee served with pudding. Compared with the recent boom in firm, slightly bitter puddings (?), this one was not quite that firm, and while it had a solid set, it was rich and had a gentle texture.

This cafe is designed just for solo guests, so you can really relax. Every corner of the interior looks lovely, like a painting, and not only the coffee but the food menu is also really good. They even have Calvados, so I always order it as my second drink.

I ordered the banana milk!! Served in a large glass well over 10cm tall, this banana milk alone would probably be filling enough for lunch.

This is the place to go in the middle of the city when you want to relax with a cup of coffee. The cafe is two stories tall, and the interior has a historic feel. I took a seat and ordered coffee and pudding. The pudding had a really nice balance of sweetness and bitterness. The coffee was good too, and I was Manzoku.

You can choose either blended coffee or American coffee, and this time I ordered the blended coffee. As you would expect from a specialty shop, it tasted great. The shop itself has a very calm atmosphere, which makes you feel at ease.

It really had a strong coffee flavor, but it was neither bitter nor spicy. You could call it a deep, rich taste. The included spices also tasted like coffee.

After getting chilled at the Sapporo Snow Festival, I wanted to warm up and also have a little coffee, so I stopped by this place I happened to find. First of all, I was drawn to its very retro exterior. Inside too, it had an old fashioned atmosphere that felt as if time had stood still, and even so, it was quite lively and nearly full.

Today’s special is the oyako-don (chicken and egg Rice bowl). The egg is soft and runny, and there’s a lot of broth, so I felt a bit unsure the first time, but maybe I just got used to it? I got used to this restaurant’s flavor. Now I think of this as what oyako-don is like, and it feels totally natural. People change. I eat it carefully because it’s piping hot. I like the taste.
