I can't forget the atmosphere of the first time, so I'm coming back! There was a parking lot for about 5 cars, and although it was a little early for lunch as it was after 11 o'clock, we were told it was ok so we ordered the daily special! Today, it was a light plate of vinegared chicken, salad, and side dishes.This comes with miso soup and coffee for 750 yen, a trip back in time to the Showa era

The atmosphere is great.Once you climb the brick stairs and open the door, you'll be transported to another world.It's much darker than the photo, so it might not be suitable for people who don't like dark places.It seems that the price will go up by 50 to 100 yen from March, but I think it's still quite cheap.Please note that the owner is basically the only one working at this store, so it may take some time when it's busy.The float with roses made from the famous ice cream is beautiful and delicious.I chose a cocoa float. Limited to 10 meals a day.(Cannot be combined with breakfast or lunch)Lunch was also an iced coffee set for 700 yen including tax, which was a ridiculous price.When I visited, I had ginger grilled meat, kakiage, oden, salad, and miso soup, all of which were delicious.There is a parking lot for 7 cars nearby.If you search for "Western beggar/parking lot" on Google Maps, it will come up, so if you are driving, please navigate there.

Kurashiki Mizushima Western beggarI took a bus to Kurashiki early in the morning, and was looking for a coffee shop on the train to see Mizushima Port. this will goThe morning set is average, but the interior decoration makes it tasty enough.The old lady opens the door by herself, so time passes at a leisurely pace.Apparently it opens at 8am, and the "beggar's lunch" posted by other people is also appealing.This is a store that I will have to come back to again.

I wanted to try their specialty, cream soda, which is a rose made from ice cream and topped with soda, so I visited for lunch.There are only 10 meals available per day, so I was worried about whether I would be able to eat them, but they said they were okay, so I ordered them.The shop was dimly lit and had a nice atmosphere. The furniture was decorated with many retro items, which matched the atmosphere of the store.It's a popular restaurant, so it's always full of customers, and all seats except the counter were occupied, so I had to wait about 20 minutes for my cream soda to come out.It seems like the store is run by two people, so I guess it can't be helped.The cream soda that was brought to me was even more beautiful than I had imagined, and it felt like a waste to eat it.The contrast between the pure white cream and the bright blue soda was beautiful and made for a great photo.In the Showa era, there were bright blue sodas like this, but it's rare in the Reiwa era. As I was driving home, I looked at my tongue in the rear view mirror and turned completely blue, which made me laugh out loud as I realized this was the first time I'd seen it since the Showa era.The parking lot can accommodate about 10 cars on the north side of the store. It seems that several cars can be parked on the first floor of the store, and there is also a bicycle storage area.It was a restaurant with a very nice atmosphere, so I would like to try it for breakfast next time.

The exterior, interior, and name of the restaurant are nice, and the food (chicken rice gratin) was also very delicious.I was surprised to find that the last toilet I used was unexpectedly new.It's a famous restaurant that I want to visit again and again.(It seems like it takes a while to prepare the food, so it might be best to come when you have plenty of time.)

It may not be a hidden gem anymore, but the gap between the exterior and the interior will captivate your heart with this ultra-retro coffee shop.This shop is interesting just from its name.The interior has a calm, retro atmosphere that makes you feel as if you have traveled back in time.Even though it's retro, the interior, lamps, clocks, etc. are well-maintained and there's no dust!Great atmosphere no matter where you sit!To put it bluntly, I'm intoxicatedThe popular rose ice cream soda is delicious and the atmosphere is great.We went there for a light breakfast, so the two of us ordered one breakfast and cream soda, but I'm curious about the food menu, so I'll want to come back again and again.The rose ice cream soda and cakes were popular, and several groups of young women also came.I wonder if it looks too retro for young children?Customers looking for lunch continued to come to the store at noon.

The world view of the store is very beautiful and you can spend a relaxing time here.On this day, I ordered chicken gratin and coffee float (limited quantity?).Gratin has a gentle taste that will make you feel happy from the moment you take a bite.Although it has a very mild taste, it remains delicious until the end.By the way, when you eat about half of it and sprinkle a little salt on it, the taste changes as if it has been transformed, which is also impressive.The coffee float comes in a large flower-shaped ice cream. You will be surprised the moment you arrive!There are a lot of foods out there that are Instagram-worthy and don't taste as good, but ice cream is delicious and coffee smells great.The atmosphere of the restaurant and the food were great!Why not let the atmosphere of the store encourage you and express your feelings to someone you like?

The inside of the store makes you feel like you've wandered into a mysterious country. First of all, you can enjoy it with your eyes.I had the doria, and it was really delicious when I ate the sauce on the toast with the thick cheese.The cream soda is limited to 10 servings.This is a cream soda with a unique touch of rose ice cream.I enjoyed a relaxing moment.Let's stop by for some coffee next time.
