レモン珈琲はレモン飴を溶かし入れた感じで珈琲苦手な人でも飲みやすいです。逆にブラック珈琲好きな人は甘いので好みが分かれそう。

The coffee was good! Especially that Lemon Coffee! It was unexpected match between lemon and coffee, but it was very very goooooooooood! The staff also very kind, talkative, and funny! Love this place. If I could give 10 out of 5, I will give it for sure lol.

癒しのお店でした。 勝山の町並み散策での良い休憩ができました。 河原のテラスは田舎感丸出しで最高。いい雰囲気でした。

すべてにおいて100点満点のカフェです! 珈琲も最高に美味しいですし、雰囲気も良く、スイーツも大人買いしてしまうほどの美味しさです。 オーナーさんもスタッフさんも皆さん、ジブリの世界から飛び出してきたかのように可愛らしく、幸せが溢れるカフェです。 店内でも、テラス席でも、どちらでもゆったりと温かい時間を過ごすことが出来ます。また再訪したいです!

コーヒーやお菓子、店内の雰囲気、そしてかぴばら店長と店員さんがとても気さくで楽しい時間を過ごせます。オススはレモンコーヒーですが、最近はシトラススカッシュも果実ごと食べれて最高です。おみやげにごまごまクッキーを買って帰るのが通だと思います。

もともとはお店も知っていて、何度か近くに寄った時に行ったのですがたまたまお休みで…。 イベント出店されている時もよくお見かけしていたのですが、やっぱり初めて行くならお店に行きたくて 今回勝山のお雛まつりに行った時にお友達と行きました‼やっと行けたーヤッター 店内はとっても素敵な雰囲気 ハンギングチェアーの席だったり、可愛いランプが置いてある席、窓から川が見える席、店の裏の川辺にはテラス席などなど。どこに座ろうか迷います。 ハンギングチェアーの席やテラス席も気になったけど、結局可愛いランプが置いてある席へ。 私はカフェオレアイスとカラメルプリン、お友達はコーヒーと焼き菓子をオーダー。 カフェオレアイス美味しいカラメルプリンはちょうどいい硬さで好き 焼き菓子も色々あって、テイクアウトも可。 メニューみているとレモンコーヒーなんてあるんですね‼ クチコミではレモンコーヒー美味しいと書いてあったので、次はレモンコーヒー飲んでみたいです 素敵な雰囲気でゆったりと美味しいコーヒーやプリンが食べられて幸せ ありがとうございました
