Lovely place to have a delicious slice of fluffy spongy cake. I recommend the srilanka spice milk tea; it is amazingly aromatic and delicious - pairs very well with the cake! The owner is kind and friendly as well, and the atmosphere inside is very comfortable.

I recently visited this delightful cake shop and had an absolutely wonderful experience. I enjoyed a hot chocolate, a fragrant chai tea and a fluffy chiffon cake — all of which were absolutely delicious. It's a relaxing and cosy place, perfect to unwind and savour your treats. What stood out the most, however, was the incredible kindness of the staff. I accidentally left my bag behind, and they went above and beyond to help me by sending it to the police station. I highly recommend checking out this lovely café for coffee and cake!

Delicious cake and coffee. A lovely place to stop before heading to the Onsen. The owner was very friendly and knew key English phrases, making it possible for me to order with no miscommunication. I was very appreciative of that. Highly recommend.

Lovely steamed cakes. I found the pour-over coffee a bit unsatisfying — not strong or large enough. But a very relaxing place to enjoy a slice of cake after an onsen. Maybe try the tea instead?

Went to try the sponge cakes they make. Had the plain and banana and both were fluffy, soft and flavourful. Would definitely go again when I return to Beppu. They also use the hotspring steam to warm up the cake. Awesome.
