I can’t imagine how much money they spent to build this dream cafe. It’s a huge area with a wonderful children’s play space and even a dog run in the large back area. The food and coffee were really great and the couple are wonderful and welcoming.

5月に移転開業されています。以前と変わらず、犬連れでくつろげる大好きな場所です。舞茸と野沢菜のクロックムッシュが大変美味しいです!

移転後初めて訪れました 以前より店内は狭く感じますがセンスの良さは変わりません お子さん連れには遊ばせながらくつろげるお店で外に遊具などもあり子育て世代に優しいカフェです 私たちは以前より犬連れで訪ねていますが ここには広ーいスペースにドッグランがありました。大型犬と小型犬まで一緒のランのようでしたが… メニューも変わりフルーツサンドがなかったのはちょっと残念でした おだし香るつけ汁うどん(?)美味しかったです 軽井沢はやはり洋物が多くて勧められたクロックムッシュは前日他のカフェでも食べたので遠慮してしまいました

Definitely a great place for kids below 4 yrs old (if older, not too great as they may find it too babyish)

Unique cafe offering three separate seating areas for three generations of families. The coffee is roasted in the shop and a variety of roasts and beans are available. The owner is a big American Major League Baseball fan and there is a variety of baseball paraphernalia on display on the gorgeously architected shop. Lite meals are also filling and good. In warmer weather there are hammocks available on the deck.
