Delicious coffee as expected. Nice backyard garden for relaxing too. Brought our dog one time, and they are kind enough to set a table for us on their backyard. Dogs are allowed outdoor.

一昨年の大賀ホール春の音楽祭でのコンサート観覧前、休憩のために初めて訪れました。 安東美術館に収蔵された藤田嗣治の名作群は、普段愛でている近代日本画とはまた一線を画す美の世界であり、芸術的に感性を高めた中で来店。 表通りから均一に温かい自然光が燦々と差し込む、よい作りです。 白を基調とした、柔らかな店内の雰囲気が気に入りました。流石、日本を代表する珈琲周辺機器メーカーが監修するカフェです。 店員さんの珈琲に対する知識、レコメンドも舌を巻くほどで、グランドメニューに加えて、ジョン・レノンが軽井沢滞在中に決まって利用した「フランスベーカリー」が当店に卸しているスイーツブレッドと組み合わせてお得にカフェ出来るのも嬉しいですね。 初回はカフェインレスとチョコ=クロワッサン、昨年春の来訪時にはダークブレンドをセレクト。大手チェーンにありがちなプレス機での即席、ではなく店員さんが一杯一杯、丁寧にハンドドリップで提供。およそ2杯分はゆうにドリップして下さるので、お得感すらあります。澄んだコクと絶妙なキレの利いた珈琲は、まさに私好みのドリップでした。 大賀ホール入場口から歩いて二分とかからないので、コンサート等の際には是非、当店で本物の珈琲を嗜むのも乙ですよ。

Very quiet and relaxing environment. Nice and professional staff. Delicious snack and well prepared coffee. On the day we visited this cafe, the art museum is closed so there were no other customers there. You can buy a lot of Hario products there. If you like their glassware, you should really drop by to have a relaxing moment.

2024年に知ったお店。ハリオのショップが併設で気になりながらも時間がなくて寄れないまま帰路につきました。 2025年。2年越しに立ち寄れました。 広くて、明るくて、コーヒーグッズも見られて、 目の前には大賀ホールがそびえ立ち、 抜群のロケーションでもあり、 時間を忘れるほどの快適さでした。 お気に入りのスポットです。
