窓から海が見えて雰囲気のある喫茶店。 満席のときは堤防に腰を下ろして、まったりしながら待つのもひとつの楽しみ方。休日は午後からがオススメかも

2回目の来店です。念願の1日6個限定プリン頂きました。以前は夕方で売り切れで食べれなかったので、昼前に電話で確認してから向かいました。程よい優しい甘さと硬さのプリン美味しかったです。サンドイッチもまた食べたいです!優しい雰囲気のオーナーさんと笑顔が素敵な女性の方が営む小さなカフェは、居心地よく落ち着きます。バイクでもよく通る道なので1人でも寄り道したいです!

ハンバーガーに惹かれて遅めのランチで訪問 42号線からは細い道(熊野古道!)を海沿いに少し走りますが、近くにある道の駅すさみから車で3分の位置にあります。 駐車場は手前にある広場に停めれます。 ハンバーガーにコーヒーとクリームソーダ、追加でプリンをお願いして優しい味わいのハンバーガーにかぶりつきました笑 店内はマスターが車庫をリノベしてインテリアも素敵でした また是非訪問したいです ごちそうさまでした

Amazing food and homemade drinks, amazing view and fantastic atmosphere. Not to mention the incredible price. But the taste was out of this world. 10/10 would come again.

What a wonderful surprise find while biking around the area. A really stylish funky retro vintage decor kissaten cafe serving a interesting range of food and drinks. I had just prior had lunch so decided to go with just a mango smoothie, which was incredible . A local elderly gentleman dropped in while I was there and between him, the very friendly owner, and myself, I had a great time Pin it on Gmap and don't miss it !

紀伊半島 旨い旅 軒目 那智勝浦駅から鈍行列車で江住駅まで。列車内は8割方がツーリストでした。 下車後、海沿いを散策して到着。 小さな集落に佇むカフェです。 店内のレイアウト品、ご主人と同年代だったので「これ、これ!!」と懐かしい気分にさせていただきました。 ご馳走さまでした。
