Omihachiman, Shiga, Japan｜Atta

Wonderful small cafe with an irregular opening schedule! If you plan to visit, highly encourage you to check their website for their opening dates. Well worth a visit, the coffee is home roasted and prepared fresh to order. The taste was deep but not too bitter at all, made for an enjoyable drinking experience. They appear to have rotating cakes, they offered and almond based choux puff pastry as well as a cherry tart. Unfortunately, I'm allergic to nuts but they also had a lemon cake which was fortunately suitable. If I had to say something about the cake, I think it could do with a bit more sugar especially in the icing and was a little dry. This was partially compensated by the sweet icecream though. The cafe also appears to run events from time to time, with the spring collection of locally handmade aprons on display. The aprons appeared high quality, the fabric felt sturdy and they looked really quite refreshing with a bright but not garish spring colours. Had I more space in my backpack I would have bought one myself! They also appear to have a live music event planned. I really enjoyed my time at this cafe, the owners were friendly and I enjoyed the short chat I had despite my lack of Japanese! I encourage those to take the time to visit and enjoy a pleasant walk along the nearby riverbank to get there from the station.

Please check the business days! You will be healed by the European-style store and music ♪ Delicious coffee is 500 yen if you resize it, but I'm satisfied and I recommend the cake ❤︎ The owner of the shop is a warm and kind person, and you can feel the goodness of her personality. It's a cafe where you can relax even if you're alone.

It is a cafe where you can casually talk with the owner and other customers. Counter seats are recommended! it's one of my favourite stores.
