Tsukuba, Ibaraki, Japan｜Nakayama Coffee Club

Upscale antique elegance, but reasonable prices. Excellent coffee--roasted on premises--tea, food, friendly service. One of our regular places.

I stopped by for Sunday lunch. The former Nakayama coffee shop is now a pasta shop. When you enter the entrance, you will be healed by the calm atmosphere. Keep your distance from others, so don't worry! I had a one-plate lunch called Luce Special. Includes pasta of the day, doria of the day, and dessert. When I asked about today's pasta, I was told that if two or more people could match it, they would prepare a menu of your choice! How conscientious. I made eggplant and bacon arrabbiata. I'm glad that they also respond to individual spiciness preferences. I made a drink set and made it to grapefruit juice. It seems that the soup is brought before the dish and you can refill it freely. I didn't need a drink set. Pasta, curry doria, gratin and chocolate cake are delicious! 1200 yen is a good deal. The accompanying doria was also full of volume and looked delicious.

Pasta, coffee and dessert were delicious. It was so comfortable that I ended up staying longer. The decor and interior are nice. The rural scenery seen from the window is also good. This time, I chose plump shrimp with mentaiko sauce and pressed coffee. The menu is abundant, so I would like to visit again and eat various things. Along the Tsuchiura Gakuen Line, everyone is speeding around here, but be careful and look for the orange signboard.
