明治24年築の蔵をリフォームして、落ち着いたアンティークな雰囲気で寛げます。ケーキセット1000円で抹茶とケーキの組み合わせが楽しめます。唯一の懸念は、領収書もレシートももらえない事。まさか悪い事してませんよね?

Very cozy place with nice Japanese sweets. Perhaps the place is not well known, we had the whole room by ourselves and could just enjoy the music looking at the antics in the room.

지나가다가 건물이 너무나 예뻐서 안들어갈 수가 없었음. 현금이 부족했는데 카드는 안받으심. 주머니 탈탈털어서 커피만 마시고 나옴. 후식도 맛있을 것 같은데 못먹음. 정말 안들어갔으면 많이많이 후회할 뻔한 가게. 앤틱한 분위기가 너무나 좋음. 소품하나하나 옛일본가정스러움 할머님 두 분 계신데 천주교인이신듯. 모든 게 다 이쁜 곳. 화장실 문 마저 이쁜 곳. 커피는 당연히 더 맛있는 곳

散策途中、雨宿りのつもりで入ってみましたが、来てよかったです。 入ってすぐ右手の2畳ほどの小部屋が、とても居心地がよかったです。 建物全体が落ち着ける空間です。 コーヒーと手作りケーキセットを頂きました。 函館に関する本を読みながら、ゆったりと過ごせてよかったです。
