What a find! This cafe offers excellent espresso coffee, made with Teshima milk and coffee roasted on site. The staff are very friendly and welcoming. Great atmosphere with indoor and outdoor seating as well as a sunny upstairs space. Would highly recommend this cafe in your next visit to Sumoto!

Nice cafe with an alegant minimalistic atmosphere. As a vegan cannot say about their food. I ordered an espresso doppio. Despite the beans appeared to be of a good quality at taste, they were not the right blend to make an espresso correctly. Was quite disappointed. Is common in Japan they use same coffee blend for ever of their drink, making espresso with a blend made for drip or american coffee. The result is an umbalanced, bitter espresso which cannot be easily adjusted if not putting lot of sugar inside but making them something else than a real espresso.

中東から日本へ持ってきた、自国のコーヒーを飲み切ってから、はや1年年半が過ぎました。朝起きてまず最初にすることは、気分を良くするため、コーヒーを飲むことです。そして今日、朝の驚きは、この素晴らしい場所で、私が恋しがっていたコーヒーが、同じカップに、同じ方法で注がれていることに気づいたことです。このコーヒー中毒になる気持ちがどんなものか、誰にもわからないでしょうから、ビーチに行く前やこの地域を訪れる前に、ぜひこの店を訪れることをお勧めします。店主の丁重な対応、清潔さ、そして素晴らしい味に感謝します。

Nice coffee place for those looking for a stronger brew then the usual Japanese-style cafe au lait. They roast their own beans at the back! The Iced Choco is amazing- you can request for it unsweetened or sweetened. Great place to grab a quick cuppa, and stocked with guide magazines and a few kids books (English and Japanese) to keep the kids occupied while you have your drink.

とっても小粋なカフェ。落ち着いて洗練された店内。モーニングメニューは少し奮発してプレートで頼む方が良いですね。バケットにサラダもソーセージも美味しい。そして勿論、コーヒーも。また行きたくなっています。 余談だけど、デカフェがメニューに載っていた。若き日に観たメグ・ライアン主演映画ユーガッタメールを思い出していた。
