From the outside, you may think this is a flower/plant shop. The door is hidden behind all that greenery so it's easy to miss. It probably was a flower shop in it's early days, but when you walk all the way to the back, there actually is a cafe. The white walls and wooden furniture and abundance of magazines and books make it a bright, antique library-like atmosphere.
The menu consists of mainly teas, coffees, lattes and such, as well as soups, scones and desserts if you're looking for something to munch on. I came for a late, light lunch, so I had the soup and drink combo (800円）. There were two soups to choose from (they seem to change daily). One was a demiglace/tomato vegetable soup, and the one I went with was the gobo (burdock root) potage. Gobo can have a very strong and overpowering flavour, but in this soup, it was just the right. The accompanying bread, plain and sesame, were without a doubt house-baked. It came to the table warm, soft, and crust crispy.
The coffee was also well brewed, a nice way to end my light lunch.
