Yokohama, Kanagawa, Japan｜喫茶 橙灯

Go through the ticket gates of Aobadai Station on the Tokyu Denentoshi Line, go out the west exit, and turn left on the road in front of Aobadai Tokyu Square. Pass the Aobadai intersection, go under the viaduct, and walk a little further until you reach an apartment building called Sun Mall Aobadai. There is a signboard for Sun Mall Aobadai along the road, so please rely on it. Cafe Orange Light is located on the first floor of this apartment. (It's on the first floor, but you have to go up the stairs to enter the apartment.) It may be a little difficult to find the first time you go. The restaurant has 3 counter seats and 2 table seats, each with 2 chairs. Behind the table is a shelf filled with many books. On the bookshelf, there are essays by Hideko Takamine, travel guide books from the Showa era, and picture books. On this day, I ordered crème caramel a la mode, banana cake, chai, and Hario (jasmine tea). Crème caramel a la mode is homemade pudding, milk gelato, chestnut jam, Katsunuma's Shine Muscat and Pione, pear, and crumble. Each one is delicious. The ingredients must have been carefully selected, and the taste is completely hand-crafted. The banana cake also has a well-calculated combination of sticky, sweet banana and wheat aroma. The chai in the bowl is full of spices, and the relaxing and refreshing aroma of the needle king makes you want to inhale as much as you can. I think a small shop like this would be perfect for a solo owner to create drinks and food to his own taste and establish his own world. A coffee shop is all about the personality of the owner. It's a good store.

A small, quiet cafe. It has a great atmosphere for relaxing alone. The location was like a room in an apartment building, and although there was a sign on the road, it was inconspicuous, so I got a little lost. However, I am glad that I found it in a quiet place ♡ For the menu, I had Anbata toast and chai. The homemade red bean paste made with black beans had the perfect sweetness and was really delicious. The owner is also kind. I will definitely go again to be healed ♩

You can choose from several beans at a cafe that is particular about coffee. Desserts seem to change with the seasons. The shopkeeper was also kind and kindly taught us who went there for the first time. It seems that the dessert is handmade by the owner, but it is delicious and inspiring! It's a small shop with only 2 table seats and a counter, but it's a very nice shop with a taste, so I'd like to visit every season from now on.
