Gifu, Japan｜せせらぎの風

Lived here for three years and never realized there's a coffee shop just across the supermarket.Came in just out of plain curiosity, without looking at any reviews, but I guess I visit here on a monthly basis from now on. It's an entirely different world once you entered the shop. I like how they designed the windows so you don't actually get disturbed by the views of the parking lot out there and have a false sense that it's a garden. There's plenty of pictures about the bar so I wouldn't add them, but damn who would have thought the shop owner would directly take one of the cups from the display and make coffee with it! It's so brilliant 😂 It's a coffee shop for people to take a breathe from the hustle and bustle so don't chatter loud and spoil the atmosphere! The coffee is the best I've had compared to several other coffee shops within the area. I never thought I would like drinking blended coffee because they're always somewhat bland. Probably has to do with how the shop owner here makes the coffee one by one per order. And man, the cinnamon toast I had was so fluffy while being crunchy on the top, like is that even possible? Also balanced in sweetness! The price is also really reasonable with the amount, or should I say, both quality and quantity. And I think the owner legit just did calligraphy with a thank-you message behind the receipt. Another surprise 😂 Definitely a must-go if you stay around this area, and worth a detour even if you don't.

I have been here for soooo many times. As mentioned before, this cafe is the best cafe in the area. The atmosphere, the cofee (and tea), the homemade cakes and all, love it! It has the personal touch that sometimes chained cafes don’t have.

It's a coffee specialty shop with a great atmosphere, and when I asked the owner, he said it's been around for 45 years, including some relocations. The menu also features three thick woody plates! I asked the master to take a photo. 📸 I was confused between the many types of coffee, but I ordered cold brew coffee. It wasn't hot, it was iced. The coffee had a deep flavor and was aromatic and delicious. I also came across Japanese paintings by Fumio Akiyama, a schoolmate of my late father. Is this a good opportunity to meet you during Obon? It was a great place to spend some quality time in a quaint interior. I'll visit you again.
