We went here for breakfast and we ordered the toast with peanut butter and strawberry jam and cream cheese with strawberry jam, a cinnamon latte (which was extraordinary) and a machiatto. Highly recommend if you are a coffee lover!

The very berry pie was a good combination with lots of berries and a scoop of ice cream. Coffee was good and atmosphere was relaxed. Staff were very prompt and friendly. I heard customers checking with directions and were given very helpful answers with additional suggestions. There were many tourists around. I guess this has to do with the presence of an English speaking boss and Japanese speaking lady boss? A good place to chill definitely.

Great buzzing atmosphere. Definitely the place to get your coffee fix. Was informed by my Airbnb guide that this outlet is opened by an American (from Seattle) and now lives in Kanazawa. Most of the staff speak English so you would have no problem whatsoever to order. Reminds me a little of the coffee scenes in ItalyP/S: To the barista, just a feedback - you checked out on two customers today whether they have paid (which they did promptly after ordering). Maybe make sense if you can jot it down or have everyone settle their bill right away. Not everyone have good memory which is cool but both incidents happened back to back within minutes.

Wonderful cozy multilingual restaurant/cafe. The staff can speak English and Japanese, and are very helpful. I was a little worried if the prices in the reviews were accurate since its a very nice location when you walk in. But everything is reasonable and DELICIOUS.

The Pulled Pork Plate is incredibly delicious as is the 美味しい (Oishi) sauce that goes with it. The Cinnamon Ice Cream Latte makes for a great dessert drink and is equally delicious. I brought my mom and she died over the Strawberry Berry Italian Soda. It's filled with frozen berries that add to the taste the longer it sits to melt. That also makes for a great treat at the end of the meal.The staff is super friendly and the prices are excellent for the quality and care that goes into making their delicious treats. The atmosphere is friendly and cozy with great music to calm you down. I wish I lived nearby so I could come all the time. But this is my second time here and I'll be a customer for life.

Excellent Cafe, top notch long black vs americano. Long black was half coffee half hot water, and was a super strong punch of clean caffeine.Chilli bean soup was good solid comfort food. Served with perfect crusty bread. Pulled pork burger was also quite nice with the option to add more sauce.Would come back here again for a daily coffee.

This place was incredible. Great service, great coffee, great food, great music. I would've come again the next day if we weren't on our way out of town. Amazing vego options and can be made vegan too. Apple pie was a great little take away snack. So happy with this place. We got the vege sandwich plate and the chilli, didn't disappoint and came away full which was a nice change.

A great place that gives a more western taste for those that miss it. Wonderful attentive service that cares about your food. The coffee is wonderful with careful attention paid to both sourcing milk and custom roast beans to produce a latte with exceptional quality.

If you’re in the mood for western food (hah), “curio” is very delicious. I couldn’t find pulled pork anywhere in Japan before this. It’s definitely worth trying, even though their main catch is coffee. The staff members know English, too. Overall, a really nice place with great food and a great vibe.

We had been feeling homesick after a week in Japan. The fantastic coffee and breakfast sandwiches with hot sauce satisfied our cravings! The restaurant is nicely decorated, and the staff was bilingual. The salad on the breakfast sandwich set was lovely, and the soup matched well. If I'm ever in Kanazawa again, I will be visiting again!

Amazing coffee brunch place in Kanazawa. We found this place just short distance walk from the market. Boutique place with limited no. of seats but it moves quickly so don't give up. The options for coffee flavors are amazing. We took the cinnamon and the raspberry and it was fenomenal!!! I think the mix of the taste and the beans were super amazing!We also enjoyed from their sandwiches (pulled pork & customized one - which I truly honor they agreed for our personal requests due to health issues).A must visit for your morning brunch!

Food was standard fare, nothing worth remembering. I’ve knocked down a star since my drink was forgotten when I requested it to be served along my food. By the time others who entered after me all got their food and drinks, I realized they’d forgotten. No apologies, only a concern that I had t gotten the drink yet. I wouldn’t come again since I’ve had better pulled pork and service elsewhere.

We stumbled across this coffee shop and were very pleased! As it turns out, the owner speaks very good English and previously lived in Seattle (USA). He was very friendly and chatted with us for a bit, as well as with other customers - he clearly took customer service seriously. I got a cappuccino which had very nicely done foam and was tasty. Thanks!

English menu available. This small coffee shop operated by westerners (at least when we were there) was the best coffee we've had in Japan! There is a full menu of espresso drinks (lattes, americanos, cappuccinos, etc) with a food menu. We had the berry pie ala mode which was delicious. The service was quick and friendly, with the owner even making some recommendations for us to find similar quality coffee. This is a great place to stop while in Kanazawa to enjoy some much needed coffee!

Great spot for a breakfast bite. The coffee selection is on point. I had the signature Zesty Mocha which was delightful in terms of taste and decoration! They also offer many food options both sweet and savoury - the breakfast sandwiches were delicious. There are also a few small independent shops along the street to take a stroll along before or after sitting down to eat.

Went there with a friend near closing time. Not sure if it was due to this, but the pulled pork sandwich didn´t taste really fresh. The buns especially were disappointing. The affogato was really good but a bit small. The worker was nice and had time to chat. He also gave some sauce recommendations. I might visit again some other time but at an earlier time and choose another sandwich.

Loved the cappuccino and the pulled pork sandwich. Weird combination from my part but it was good! Friendly and fast service. They just take cash though. After counting a lot of coins and having paid I saw their chocolate chip cookie and had to have one,which was a great idea since it was a very good cookie 👍Great first impression from Kanazawa.

I dare you to find a better pulled pork sandwich within 200km (no miles here 😬) the service was everything you'd expect from an establishment in Japan with immediate greeting and water to quench your thirst. The food was everything good and delectable you remember from the states. The portions: perfect. Really the formula is simple and the owner has done an excellent job of making it all come together effortlessly and delicious. I would definitely recommend this establishment and the attentive staff to anyone hankering for a taste of good ol US of A

The biggest strength of this place is that the owners are American and understand folks may want their coffee fix before 11 in the morning. The decor is very western style — depending what you're looking for, that can be great or not. Service is very good and warm, and the coffee I had was very alright. But with other nice coffee places within a ten-fifteen minutes walk with a more "local" vibr, I'm not sure how often I'd see myself coming back here

A marvelous place to enjoy your breakfast in Kanazawa.Walking for about 6-8 minutes from Kanazawa station, you can find this cozy coffee shop.The shop is filled with western foreigners and you can order with both English and Japanese. The coffee here was great and the bread is tender with chewiness, giving you a good start of a Kanazawa day.

Perfect little café in a good location. The staff here are extremely attentive and friendly; some of nicest table service we've had since coming to Japan.The food was a fresh change to the Japanese food we've been frequently eating. The portions weren't the largest, however they were seemed high quality.If we're ever back in Kanazawa, we'd happily return.
