Very cozy coffee shop. Of course the quality of coffee, latte or other stuffs like iced coffee, cappuccino are also great. On top of that I highly recommend you having their “Norwegian waffle”. It has strawberry jam, cream and brown cheese are on the surface. Especially brown cheese is excellent. It really goes well with the waffle.

2018年4月オープン。マスターによると、2015年より福島大学ちかくのレンタルスペースにて活動開始とのこと。そうすると2025年で10周年ということになる、そんな機会に来店することができて良かった。今回はカウンターに座る。奥にテーブル席あり、2人がけと4人がけ。常に満席。空席がなくテイクアウトするお客さんも。お馴染みのお客さんが多いようで、親しみやすい雰囲気。ペット同伴可。ワッフルを頼んでいるお客さんが多いようだった。じわじわ評判になり今や流行りのお店となるも、マスターは「目立たないお店なので‥」と控えめ。たとえ不器用でも一生懸命コーヒーを淹れてくれるその人柄に惹かれて、また来店してみよう。

本格的なコーヒーを一度味わってみたいと思い、足を運びました。アメリカーノを選び、オススメのナッツとキャラメルソースがトッピングされたワッフルをいただきました。相性が良く、とても美味しかったです。アメリカーノを鼻先に持ってきた時の淹れたての爽やかな香りが印象的でした。ワッフルのほのかな甘さも好みでした。席へ着いたところ、店内の曲を静かなジャズにそっと変えてくださいました。

This coffee shop was amazing ! The cafe worker was so fashionable. If you enjoy a good brew I suggest coming here. The sandwich that was made was delicious. I only came to Fukushima for the weekend but I had to come here both days in the morning. Truly a unique place and relaxing.

泉駅そばのローソンから、飯坂方面へ。道路沿い右側にお店があります。そこをとおりすぎた最初の十字路(水色の小学校と陸橋あり)を右折して、踏切をこえ進むと駐車場あり (迷った私を店主様が道案内してくださいました親切!) 店内わんこOK!! 落ち着いたら店内は時間を忘れます^_^
