Decided to come here randomly for breakfast and was pleasantly surprised at how good the breakfast and coffee were :) Although there isn’t an English menu, the owner was able to communicate with us and made us feel welcomed. If we’re ever in Kumamoto again, we’ll be sure to visit

Small restaurant: four 2-seat tables or one 4-seater and two 2-seaters, plus two seats at the counter. plenty of lighting. Avocado toast was sold out and the bacon wasn’t crispy, just like how most Japanese chefs cook bacon. Although the food was not bad, I’m not gonna come back and waste my time waiting on food. The açaí bowl needs some honey or more honey - didn’t taste any. Not a great business plan: one guy alone mans the register, makes the coffee, cooks, serves, and buses at a brunch cafe. Took around 5 minutes for waters, 30 for the first dish, 40 for the main dish at which point asked for oshibori, and 50 minutes for the coffees to come out. The employee/owner? was polite, spoke English, and apologized for the wait multiple times.

This cafe was so cozy and the food was delicious. The man running the cafe is very kind and hard working. I highly recommend this place for breakfast!! It reminds me of the breakfast culture back home in Sydney.

The best food we had during our Kyushu trip! Every dish we tried was packed with flavor—absolutely superb! The owner was incredibly kind and runs the place himself, which adds a warm and personal touch. I really wish we had a cozy, delicious café like this in Tokyo. A must-visit if you're in the area!
