Gorgeous view with absolutely delicious food! The Dutch baby pancake was amazing and they let you know in advance it will take some time for it to cook (like all Dutch babies do). The service was impeccable and they were soooo kind to let us sit and eat even though we were dirty and drenched from riding bikes in the rain. They also speak phenomenal English for those tourist like us who know very minimal Japanese. We also got their chicken sandwich (not pictured) and we debated getting seconds of it because it was the delicious!

オシャレそれにつきます。 ロケーションも抜群です。 デザートをと思い立ち寄りましたが食事時は予約で満席になるほどのようです。 自分としては、カフェとして利用したいかな。 デザート、美味しかったです。

We stopped in for breakfast here and had such a wonderful experience. Not only was the view and decor incredible, but the food was delicious. My husband and I each had a different Dutch baby pancakes, mine with tropical fruit and his with chocolate and cinnamon. We couldn’t decide who’s was better! We are regular coffee drinkers but even this was delicious with either a dark or light roast option. She served the coffee in the most beautiful local artisan coffee cups (which we bought some in her little shop where she has local items for sale from different artists). This was certainly one of the best finds on the island!
