Itabashi City, Tokyo, Japan｜油金 金子金物店 KADOCAFE

An excellent little coffee shop with great service. The people here were so friendly, which made the experience that much better. The coffee was good and the cheesecake nice and soft. I like the open bar and the seating arrangement was done well. There are some other sweets I’ll have to come back for, so I shall visit another time in the future.

I happened to pass by and was attracted by the atmosphere of the table and entered, it was a wonderful coffee shop. As the name suggests, the large glass window facing the corner brightens both inside and outside. The chairs and trays were also cute. The open counter and background music are moderately lively, and I think you can enjoy relaxing alone or with someone. I had cheesecake and coffee, but the tea and matcha were also particular and looked delicious. (Cheesecake was a little browned and rare inside, which was my favorite type.) Iron kettles and iron teapots are also on sale, and I would like to take a closer look when I have time. (Addendum) This is a picture when I visited several times after that. Seasonal cakes and standard cakes are delicious, so I look forward to seeing the menu every time.

As the name suggests, the cafe is run by a hardware store, but the interior is bright, open, and sophisticated. And it's fun to find goods unique to hardware stores here and there. Starting with the coffee that is carefully made one cup at a time, there are a small variety of carefully selected cakes and toasts, all of which are original. The picture is cheese toast, but butter toast was also delicious. I always stop by when I'm in the area.
