Kamakura, Kanagawa, Japan｜Tsubame Cafe

Everything about this place, I love. It reminds me of how cozy my grandmother’s house is whilst also being slightly fancy-looking. You can choose to sit at a table and chair or on the tatami floor with a table. The decorations, the staff, the atmosphere, the food were all fantastic. Despite not being a set menu, there was still ample food offered. The individual side dishes complemented the curry so well that you could continue to eat the curry. The curry has a very deep flavor and was delicious.

Such a great experience. We were lucky to be alone for almost the whole time, so we really enjoyed the place and got the most out of the whole experience. Such a vibe. The healing curry was honestly so good. Some flavour I’ve never tried before, combined with other new flavours which were just as unexpected and wholesome. We actually visited this cafe 7 months ago, but forgot to write a review. I recently remembered about this place and I’m planning to go back very soon to see if they added some winter choices in their menu. We loved the service, the place and the food. We will see you again soon! Thank you for the experience ❤️ If you’re interested in discovering the best cafes and restaurants around Tokyo/Kanagawa, feel free to check out our IG account: @italiansinjapan ☺️

All I can say is WOW, I am sooo happy I came here today. Despite being very near a major tourist attraction, this delightful quaint little cafe was truly authentic and welcoming, not overcrowded or commercialised in the slightest. Although it is a bit hard to find, once you’re inside it feels like you’re being welcomed into a warm neighbour’s house. The rusty look with dry flowers and different ornaments just make this hidden gem so delightful. We were soaking up the atmosphere like sponges. I was too late for lunch so I got the cake set instead for ¥1,100 - and my word, the cake was delicious and generously served with cream, ice cream and lots of yummy fruits. The coffee was in a beautiful cup as well. The kind staff were super welcoming and served with a smile the whole time. Background music of chilled lo-fi beats was perfect as well. Absolute 5 stars from me ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️despite fewer visitors to Kamakura, I hope this cafe survives covid and prospers☺️🤞will come back and introduce my friends for sure!!
