We stopped here for lunch on a Saturday and it was lovely! The exterior is unique but the inside is so cute and cottage core! We got the Tomoto Hama and cheese crape with cheese cake and it was lovely! There is very little English but all the staff was very patient and kind. The food was incredible as well as the service. Highly recommend if you want a hole in the wall cute place to visit while exploring Mr. Aso.

I went to galette with my friends on a weekend. Everything was so tiny and cute. Love the tiny house idea and the work that went into every dish and serving. All our dessert was so delicious! Highly recommend it.

初めて行きましたが、お店の雰囲気が隠れ家に来たみたいで素敵でした。 ただ、身長178には店内までの通路の天井が低く、移動しにくかったです。(苦笑) カフェタイムでデザートだけのつもりが、ついついガレットも注文。(すぐに出てきた)美味しい。つれは初めてのガレットで喜んでました。 土曜日でしたが、混んでなかったのでゆっくり過ごしました。 アイスコーヒー飲みやすく美味しい。(苦い酸味強は苦手) 1階に3席と、離れ?テラス席?(クーラーなし扇風機有、暑い日は厳しい)2階に4席との事です。 15年ほど、ご夫婦お二人でされてるそうです。多少待ち時間が有っても、くつろいで雰囲気を楽しんで待てます。

A real gem in Minamiaso. Entering the facility feels like reading a fantasy book. It has separate rooms. You will be in your space with you family, friends or alone. One thing no outlets or wifi. A great place if you want to zone out of everyday routine. For the menu they offer sets and no set options. I ordered from the set. It was 1250¥ for a soup, galette (7 options), drink (cold/hot) and dessert (9 options). They were served in cute plates. Even tea comes with its sand timer. If you have a car don’t worry they have parking space.

入口から少し不気味で通路を抜けると個室があってお店のなかで迷子になりかけました。最初のスープめちゃくちゃ美味い!ガレットも完璧!チーズケーキはバツグン!セットで1500円安すぎる!?自宅からむちゃくちゃ遠いけどまた行きます。みんな集合!!

隠れ家的で女子が好きそうな雰囲気の店内は入口から素敵でした。平日だったにも関わらずランチ時には満席でした。予約はできないとの事だったので早めに行って正解でした。店内は狭かったかな…ただ外にもお席があるので春や秋には外の席もいいかなぁという感じです。蕎麦粉のガレットだそうで種類もありました。可愛い雰囲気でしたがあの人数のお客様を奥様一人でフロアの方は切り盛りしていて大変そうだなと思いました。
