Nagano, Japan｜café ELF

It's a cute home cafe♪ The lunch set and soup set change weekly, so I always look forward to them. You can choose bread or rice. This time I chose bread, but the rice is also delicious. Dessert is Shine Muscat almond tofu. This is the current seasonal menu. It was refreshing and left me feeling good even after eating. For tea, you could choose Earl Gray or Dimbla. There is a wide variety of drinks available here, and they are all delicious. You can also choose from three types of coffee. This time I chose black tea, but the hot cafe latte and hojicha latte are also really delicious. I took a breather while looking at the sky at the counter seat ^_^

I visited with my female friend on a weekday. The lunch set was chicken thighs and grilled vegetables with balsamic sauce. The set consisted of a choice of bread or rice, and the rest was a small bowl of soba-sized soup and a small bowl of carrots dressed with mustard (maybe honey mustard?). The main plate was filled with grilled vegetables and raw vegetable salad. There are many types of grilled vegetables such as cabbage, lotus root, pumpkin, paprika zucchini, and maitake mushrooms. Honestly, since it's cafe food, the portions aren't that large, but I think it's okay if it's a woman's meal. For men, it may be a little unsatisfactory if they can't eat a large bowl of rice. This time, I had a half-sized portion of cassata for dessert, and it was very delicious. It takes a while for the food to be served, but it's made with care so it's not a problem. The atmosphere inside the store was calm and we had a very comfortable time.

There's a secret base inside the shop! The second floor can also be rented out as a seminar venue! The interior is also nice and warm.
