Cute cafe run by an American/Japanese couple. They speak great English (obviously) and sell a lot of American style sweet treats.

오래도록 기억에 남을 것 같은 경험이었습니다. 사장님 두 분 모두 영어를 잘하시고, 기본적으로 영어회화를 목적으로 방문하는 단골손님들이 많은 것 같았습니다. 사장님들이 정말 친절하시고, 할머니의 인심을 느낄 수 있는 곳입니다. 무조건 배고픈 상태로 가시길 추천드립니다 ㅎㅎㅎ 케이크가 정말 홈메이드 스타일이라 부담 없이 먹을 수 있었고 너무 맛있었습니다 다음에 다카마쓰를 다시 방문하게 된다면 무조건 재방문 할 것 같습니다:) 오래 남아있으면 하는 가게입니다

Loved this Cafe! I had an incredible homemade ginger-ale. I joined in conversations with Japanese people that wanted to practice their English skills. I also played one of their guitars and sang a couple songs for and with other musicians there. It was a sweet atmosphere of enjoying each other and the owners are so kind and great hosts.

이보다 따뜻한 카페가 있을까 사장님들 너무 친절하시고 맛있는 수제디저트를 판매합니다 매일 다른 디저트가 판매되니 어떤것이 나올지 궁금해 지는 곳 손님들도 전부 서로서로 이야기 하면서 지내는곳 다카마쓰에 가면 꼭 방문 해야할 카페! 700엔에 음료한잔+디저트 하나 로 가성비도 아주 좋은곳 추천합니다

気さくなママさんがオススメしてくれた BLTサンドとチーズとエッグサンド食べました(^^ デザートや飲み物までついていて ボリューム満点で美味しかったです! 自家製ジンジャエールは甘い味の後に少しピリッとしてました。 ご主人さんの手作りクッキーは シナモンが香ばしいしっとりでした。 落ち着いてゆっくりさせていただきました(´ω`)

This cafe has a family atmosphere, the Japanese and American couple who own the cafe are very nice people. I love chatting with them while sipping my tea and eating their homemade cakes. (*´꒳`*) Also I was happy to be able to speak in English!
