It’s my first time to Chiba as a tourist and the owner was very welcoming. She tried her best to explain the menu to me even though I couldn’t understand Japanese. I ordered their mushroom soup set with salad and their chiffon with seasonal fruits. I am not usually a big salad lover but I have to say their salad was hard to top :) I also really like how they serve a varied of seasonal fruits with the chiffon. Would definitely revisit when I come to Japan again!

下調べせず行きました。入口右側にパンが並んでおり、席数は4席ほどでした。 クロワッサン入りのいちごパフェをいただきました。 このさくさくしたクロワッサンを中に入っているバニラアイス・生クリームに付けながら食べましたが、甘じょっぱくとても美味しかったです。 また、バニラアイス・生クリームともに、甘さ控えめだった為、一見ボリューミーなパフェも難なく完食できました。 コーヒー、紅茶、ハーブティーにもこだわりが見られます。 私はハーブティーをいただきましたが、西千葉の老舗紅茶専門店のものを出していただき、美味しく戴きました。 また友人もコーヒーを大絶賛していました。 地元の人が引っ切り無しにパンを買っていくのも印象的でした。

記念日に家族でパフェを食べに行きましたがなんとパフェは14:00〜らしく、パフェを諦めて食事をいただきました。 ポッドパン、トーストを注文。 ポッドパンはサラダ付きで+ドリンク、デザートも頼めました。トーストはけっこう厚めで食べ応え抜群! 席は2人席6つと結構少なめ。3人〜で行く場合は予約したほうが安心かと思います。 店内は静かめですがラジオが流れてるので気軽におしゃべりを楽しめます。 雰囲気も良かったのでまた行きたいですね。次はパフェをリベンジしたいと思います!
