A cute little space by the ocean - the staff are very nice and patient. We're English speaking and they were very patient with us. The food is good and there's lots of different coffees to try. Just like many other restaurants in Japan, there isn't a lot of room so I recommend arriving earlier. It's one of the few cafes open early so definitely take advantage of that

Had a lovely time at this cafe. The coffee is top-notch and I highly recommend giving it a try. The sandwiches are tasty, though the bread is on the thick side, it adds a nice texture. Overall, a great spot for a relaxing breakfast!

Coffee was delicious. My friends and I bought different drinks and they all tasted lovely. Their Ethiopian coffee (?) actually woke me up because I loved the taste so much. Regarding food, we only tried the carrot cake (it was bomb ) but the other snacks they had also looked soooo good. The place itself was lovely, very cozy. I think it would be a perfect place to study if you like coffee and can’t focus without background noise.

Such a charming cafe!!! What a wonderful place to start a morning. The coffee was great and there were various options to choose from. My tuna olive sandwich was delicious. The various muffins, donuts and sweets were also very tempting.... The actual building was clearly something else in a past life (they said a bread shop). It was rustic and original with interesting books and crannies. It was such a relaxing atmosphere couples with indie music in the background. I will certainly be back next time I visit Kamakura
