Saitama, Japan｜Kafe OB Omiya Nishiguchiten

If you avoid peak times, you can work quietly and comfortably. The light meals have a comforting taste that reminds you of home (and are cheap). Cold drinks are cheap, plentiful, and taste delicious. I go to other coffee shops and cafes, but this one has the best value for money and makes me feel safe. Self-service meal ticket type. Basically, the staff is working alone, so please be kind and wait for them when it's crowded.

A cafe where you can relax and feel calm even though it's right next to Omiya Station. Since you are basically turning it all by yourself, it's fun to wait patiently for it to be completed. Best of all, the prices are cheap (300 yen for iced coffee, plus a cake set for an additional 250 yen). Unlike the log house-style OB, there are no fishbowl juices or parfaits, but the mug-sized ones are enough. If you go right after it opens, they will also serve boiled eggs. It has some drawbacks, such as its short business hours of 10:00 to 19:00, and the occasional sound of trains as it is under guard, but it is a store that is useful to have on hand.

Although it's near the station, it's located in an inconspicuous place under a guardrail, so it's not crowded. This is a famous local chain that offers iced drinks the size of medium mugs for less than one coin. The beans are roasted in-house and ground on the spot before being drip-dried. Although the blend is a little thin, the Kilimanjaro (350 yen) tastes better than the major coffee chains.
