Fantastic little cafe. Nice, chill atmosphere, with outdoor seating if you want. Their blueberry smoothy is amazing, as is their apple vinegar drink. Mmmm the vinegar drink was good. Locally made, too.

By far one of the best burgers in the Gun. I have never been able to predict the opening hours though and the serving of fries is quite small but delicious.

故郷に帰省した時に行きましたが、とてもお洒落で居心地がいいカフェでした。 ラーメンの日だったので、ラーメンを頂きました。 少し独特(熊本のラーメンはこんな感じかな?)なスープでしたが、美味しかったです。 今度はCafeの日に別の物も食べてみたいです。

あさぎり駅前にあり、雰囲気も良いです。料理もデザートも美味しいです女子会などのイベント時には、相談すると予算にあった品を出してくれると思います室内は狭い感じですが、のんびりと過ごせます。テラスもあるので、天気が良くて暖かい日はゆっくりと過ごせるかも音楽の設備もあるので、希望があれば生演奏も可能なようです

週1〜2回程寄るようになりましたが、月・火・金はラーメン屋で木・土・日はパスタ、カレー、ピザなどの軽食ランチがありサラダ・スープ・ソフトドリンク・小デザートも付いて800〜1000円です 単品の黒糖タピオカミルクティ500円も、なかなか美味い テイクアウトも可 天気いい日は外テラスで本でも読みながら、ゆっくりとした時間を過ごせれるお店です。 外テラスではペット同伴OK 店内もカウンター席からテーブル1〜4人席もあります! 常に明るくよく笑ってらっしゃる女性店主さん1人で運営されているので、混雑時は料理提供時間が掛かる場合がありますが、店内にはアクセサリーや手作りポーチ、何にでも使える万能菌キンタロウや、アミノ酸石鹸お試し用など小物商材も販売されており待ち時間も楽しめます! 是非一度お立ち寄りください
