大正ロマンが好きな方はぜひお立ち寄りください。外観も内装もとってもオシャレなレトロ喫茶。とても落ち着きます。人魚のカフェも好きですが、歴史を感じるカフェも良いですね。ただ、お値段は可愛くないですよ(笑) ほんとにたまたまタイミングが良かったのか、 平日お昼すぎで他のお客様いらしてなかったので、お写真たくさん撮らせて頂けました。 とっても物腰柔らかなオーナーさんで、The高級別荘地、The軽井沢な喫茶店です。 オリジナルブレンドコーヒーも、エグみが一切ないスッキリとした口当たり。時間を忘れてゆったりとしたい時にぴったりです。

12時ごろ入店したら30分程度貸切状態でした。 穏やかなBGMが素敵な内装の店内に流れていて異世界に来たようでした。 優しい声のマスター。ウェイターの女性もあたたかな声をしていて、食器の置き方も柔らかくいい気持ちでした。マスターもウェイターの女性も丁寧な接客で心が温まります。 珈琲も紅茶も美味しく、ガトーショコラと良くあっていました。既製品の生クリームでは無く柔らかなとろみのある生クリームが美味しかったです。

食事はしてなくて、コーヒーだけのみました。店内がヨーロッパにタイムスリップしたかと思うほど、レトロなお店です。 私はおすすめのブレンド(定期的に内容が違う)を注文しました。2杯は飲めるサイズでゆっくりできたので良かったです。 ちょうど雨が降り出してたので駆け込みましたが、土曜だったのに混んでない時間だったからか?ゆったりした雰囲気でいられました。飲みやすいブレンドが美味しかったです!
