I had No9 (St. John’s Wort, Rosemary, Lemongrass, Roasted green tea) blended herbal tea with chai flavor and a Macha banana cake on the photo. They were delicately well-balanced and it was perfect for an afternoon tea and dessert. I also ordered pizza to go for our dinner which was totally still delicious even after getting cold. They have interesting combinations of pizza like Miso + Tomato. It came with lots of fresh greens with some herbs in a separate plastic case. It was like eating salad pizza, which I love to do. There is a free parking but it is easy to miss. So, you should look into a white sign with the cafe’s name on it with small letters. Also, the cafe is in a residential area and you need to drive through a narrow path to get there. However it makes the cafe more of a hidden secret place, and once you can get into the cafe, you will enjoy a Japanese minimalistic style, modern but with a bit of a rustic style in the interior design. I would love to go back to have lunch for sure!

HERB +CAFE PLATEをメインA(厚切りベーコン・燻製ソーセージ)とARRANGE TEA一番人気の8(ローズレッド・ラベンダーなど)でいただきました。初見で、盛り沢山のHERBと料理が提供され、量に圧倒されました。何とかHERBと他の料理を交互に食べることにより、口を一旦すっきりとリセットし、全ていただけました。料理が美味しかったのはもちろん、ベーコンなど食べごたえもありました。特に、私は、きのこと玉葱のソテーと野菜スープが気に入りました。口だけでなく身体にも美味しく、HERBティーで心まで癒やされ、またデトックス効果も期待できと、大満足のランチでした。ARRANGE TEAは種類が多いので、初めての方は、お店の方に相談して下さいませ

外観からは想像できないほどオシャレな店内。ワンプレートのランチは思いの外量が多くお腹いっぱいに。このお値段なら、ワンドリンクつけてほしかった。
