国道1号線沿いにあるカフェですが、中に入ると外の車の往来の雑多な音がほとんど消えており、心地のいいBGMが流れています。店内は広く席数も多く、スタッフの対応も概ね良好で、非常にリラックスしながら利用することが出来ます。そのような心地いい環境であるからか、特に休日はほぼ全ての時間帯において大混雑します（平日でも昼食時間帯にはかなり混雑します）。居心地のいい環境はかえって客の回転を悪くさせ、入店だけでも長い時間待たせることも多いです。そのため、小休憩目的で利用するのはお勧めできません。そのようなカフェであるからか、駐車場が完備していますが車で来店する人は少なく、近隣に住む住民、あるいは近くの会社に勤務している人の利用を多く見かけます。
給仕される料理も非常に丁寧に拵えられていて、味だけでなく見た目や食感も楽しむことが出来ます。特にパンケーキは注文してからメレンゲを立てて生地に合わせ、一つ一つ丁寧に焼き上げているそうなので、これも、食事が楽しめる一方で客の回転を悪くしている要因の一つだと思います。
お勧めは平日の朝の時間帯。比較的空いているため、ゆっくり寛ぎながら食事を楽しむのにピッタリです。
店に入るために段差を降りる必要があります。車椅子の人等が利用できるスロープもありますが、やや分かりづらいのが難点です。

The cafe is located along Route 1, but when you enter, the miscellaneous sounds of traffic outside almost disappear, and pleasant BGM is playing. The interior is spacious and has many seats, and the staff is generally friendly and helpful, making it a very relaxing place to visit. Perhaps because of this pleasant environment, the restaurant is very crowded at almost all times of the day, especially on weekends and holidays (even on weekdays, it's quite crowded during lunch time). The cozy environment can instead slow down the turnover of customers and often make them wait a long time just to enter the store. For this reason, it's not recommended to use this cafe for a short break. Perhaps because it's such a cafe, although it has a parking lot, few people come here by car.
The dishes are prepared with great care, and you can enjoy not only the taste but also the appearance and texture. The pancakes, in particular, are made to order, meringue is mixed into the batter, and they are carefully baked one by one. So I think this kind of process is one of the factors that slow down the turnover of customers while they enjoy their dishes.
The best time to visit is in the morning on weekdays. The restaurant is relatively empty, so it is perfect for relaxing and enjoying your meal.
To enter the restaurant, you need to go down some steps. There is also a ramp that can be used by people in wheelchairs, but it's a little difficult to find.
