Hitachinaka, Ibaraki, Japan｜Coco's

Coco's is my kids favourite. Predictably good food with a variety choices.

It's a strawberry frappuccino I customized one and shared it with my daughter. Personally, I prefer the custom version, but both were delicious.

Used for quiet time on Sunday mornings. The parking lot is shared with a huge shopping mall, so there's plenty of parking, but the area is near the movie theater, so it fills up a little quickly. There is a long queue to enter the store around noon, so it's best to get there as early as possible. I've never been asked to leave the store, so I guess whoever goes in wins. When you enter the store, there is a terminal where you enter the number of people and it will automatically assign you a seat number. The seat number vote is also used for accounting, which is a good idea. I have never done it before, but if you have made a reservation in advance, you can also enter it here. It's pretty standard for COCO'S, and there's nothing particularly different from other stores. If you call the store staff to replenish tea leaves, they will respond immediately.
