Chiba, Japan｜KADOCAFE

A private cafe stands in a valley on the edge of a residential area, about halfway between Sakuragi Station and Kokuradai Station on the Chiba Monorail. The location is wonderful, with a riverside biotope and forest in front of the store where you can even see fireflies during the season. There is a parking lot for 2 cars in a gravel parking lot about 20m ahead on your left when you look towards the forest with your back to the store. The business hours are listed as 17:00 on Google, but the closing time is different in summer (18:00) and winter (17:00). Basically, it's only until dusk lol. They have breakfast on Saturdays and Sundays, and you can have this until 1:00 p.m. Furthermore, even though I arrived after 2:00 pm on this day, they were very lenient and said, ``I have extra ingredients, so I can do set B.'' At first glance, you might think the menu is average cafe prices, but when you see the actual food, you'll be surprised to find that it's way too cheap for the quality. All teas are from Ronnefeld, Germany, and are served in pots. Furthermore, hot water is also OK. If you tried to get the same service at a tea specialty store, you'd probably pay twice as much... There are four types of bread in the morning set, and the rebake is perfect. It seems that he uses a special toaster. The most popular seasonal fruit waffle is so packed with fresh fruit that you can't even see the waffle itself. By the way, on this day, we had strawberries, oranges, gold kiwis, bananas, and strawberry sauce. 750 yen is too reasonable for this. Basically, ``the terrace is OK for DOG,'' but does it depend on the weather, how well the dog is trained, and the tolerance level of the customers inside the store? It seems like they are responding flexibly. On this day, at first we took the dogs to the terrace seats, but when the wind started to pick up, we brought them inside. (Of course, he was a smart dog, and we were welcomed as well.) When complimented on the location of the shop, the unpretentious shop owner laughs and says, ``What about borrowed views? It's free, lol.'' She may seem blunt at first glance, but she is a super friendly lady who loves traveling, dogs, and alcohol. The dog who passes by the store for a walk knows almost all the names lol. When I talked to him, I realized that the atmosphere of this restaurant and the food were a strong reflection of this man's busy life. It's no wonder that part-timers and regular customers are drawn to this shop owner and this shop. I will come again to cheer you up. Thank you for the meal.

Coffee, food, and desserts are all delicious no matter what you choose☆ The interior of the store, which is a renovated old folk house, is calm and very comfortable.

A little-known cafe that opened during the coronavirus pandemic. The friendly and natural owner was very easy to talk to. It is open for breakfast from 8:00 on Saturdays and Sundays, so it can be said that it is a rare cafe in this area other than chain stores. The interior of the restaurant, which is a renovated old folk house and has sofa seats, table seats, and terrace seats, is bright with lots of light from the windows. There are miscellaneous goods on display and for sale, and there are many wonderful lights on display that the owner collected as a hobby, so it's interesting to see a lot of things. The ``Kokura Citizen's Forest'' and ``Sakazukigawa Biotope'' were spread out in front of us, and it was great to be able to relax and eat and drink while feeling the nature. As you can tell because there is a small signboard, there is a parking lot for 3 cars right in front of the store. The visit was first thing in the morning on a Saturday as a typhoon was approaching. I was worried whether it would be open even on such a day, but it was open. The cafe was reserved for us on this day, perhaps because it was before the typhoon and first thing in the morning, so I had a lot of fun hearing about the history of the surrounding area and explanations about the cafe from the owner. I will visit you again when I return home!
