Ao. Hostel & Cafe Lounge

Lovely contemporary cafe in Hitoyoshi with a focus on desserts. Would highly recommend! Options for veggies, not so much for vegans.

Good food. And a good cafe latte.

I arrived before 11am on Sunday and was the second group to arrive, so there was no wait.
There was a spacious parking lot across the street so it was safe.

It was a system where you had to order at the counter first, so it was my first time visiting from outside the prefecture and I was nervous that I had to decide quickly.

There were three employees, and a young man was in charge of the bill, but I don't think it would cost that much when you're trying to decide what to order on the menu.
I noticed that he was clicking his fingers.
It may be a habit without any malice, but it doesn't mean he's particularly nice, so it makes me feel even worse.
The woman greeted me with a smile.

This time we will have taco rice and croque madame for dinner? I ordered it and it had a lot of flavor and was very delicious!
I thought the taco rice was the best I've ever had and I'm glad I went there.
I ordered black coffee, which was also easy to drink and delicious!
I was hungry, so I prioritized food over sweets, but I think I'd like to try sweets next time!

Visited at 2pm on weekdays.

When we arrived, there were so many people that you could choose a seat anywhere, but as 3pm came around, more and more people came, and by the time we left, the place was full.

The interior of the restaurant has a very soothing atmosphere with plants and natural tables.

Enjoyed the parfait and pancakes I had seen on Instagram.

He showed me the detailed workmanship of the parfait, combining each ingredient one by one, and the composition diagram ✨

The matcha soufflé pancakes were so fluffy that they fell apart just before eating.

It was right after lunch, but it was so pulsating that I could barely eat it.

There was also a parking lot opposite the store!

It was empty at 13:30 on weekdays.
There is a parking lot opposite the store 🚗³₃

The inside of the store had a calm atmosphere and was beautiful❁⃘*.ﾟ
It was an order-first system, and the menu had pictures, so it was easy to understand.

I waited about 20 minutes for the pancakes to be served.
It's fluffy and melts the moment you put it in your mouth...!! ️
The sweetness was also modest, so
It looked like there was plenty of room for the second dish🤭 (lol)

Among the pancakes I've ever eaten
It was my favorite flavor (˶ ̇ ̵ ̇˶ )✨️

I'll come back later!
Thank you for the meal🙏🏻
