I like it here. Really good vibes, poshy, beautiful interior design. The guy who took my order spoke completely fluent English and was helpful in avoiding plastic cup use per my request. Mochi matcha was ingenious. It’s like bubble tea but mochi version. Also had the mochi which was noms. And my mans said the coffee was extremely sophisticated as well as elegant, fragrant, and oishii. The coffee beans are locally roasted in a nearby neighborhood. 10/10 would recommend~~

The best coffee shop I’ve been in Japan. The coffee and the food are very good. But the special thing here is that you can drink coffee while you taking a foot bath in the foot Onsen. A place you must visit when you come to Beppu.

My daughter and I both tried the iced matcha. The matcha is top tier! It wasn't too sweet and very creamy. We also tried the black sesame and strawberry dango--the dango has great flavor and nice, chewy texture. The interior of the café has a peaceful aesthetic. Lots of seating. Would definitely come here again :)

Aesthetic interior + free wifi. Ordered the mochi matcha late (650¥) which came out better than I expected. Working ergonomics aren't the best (the table is way too low)
