Loved this place. Felt like reordering the same toast actually. And the lovely coffee I could have kept drinking.

Chanced upon this when we were looking for a cafe that opens early (7am) while the other cafes around the Iseshi station only opened at 9-10am. Breakfast sets were simple yet delicious. The simple toast I had was buttered well. However, the iced latte I had was bland.

Every dish we ordered was delicious. We enjoyed the baked curry rice and latte especially. The original double sauce omu rice is worth a shot as well! Top it off with a dense chocolate gateau and maple ice cream toast... Perfection

A very cute, small cafe near the Outer Shrine. It opens at 7 am and serves a breakfast menu until 11, followed by lunch. The owners were friendly and there is an English menu. The food and coffee were very good and for a reasonable price. Highly recommended for breakfast!

This is a small café located near Ise Jingu Geku Sando. A small building with lovely coffee and toast. You can see many cups and saucer each with it's own design on the wall. One of the cup will be yours. The café also serve Ise Udon and meals. I tried the popular Ise Udon here. The place is small and limited sitting inside. There are 2 counter sits. Large table are available.

The French toast was very tasty however it was a small portion. The coffee and the price was good. The cups and plates were very pretty. The toilet was a little quirky.
