I visited on the first day of the opening. As it was a weekday, I was able to enjoy the relaxing atmosphere.
The glass-walled space on the second floor is the best place to enjoy a quiet cup of coffee while looking at the greenery outside.
The croque monsieur was refreshing with the aroma of lemon peel and more satisfying than I had imagined. Not only beautiful and "looking good," it tasted solidly delicious.
