Café Kosaki, a famous cafe in Gaienmae decorated with stained glass

A five-minute walk from Gaienmae Station.
Cafe Casa, located in a quiet residential area, is a long-established coffee shop established in 1984.
It underwent a renovation in 2024, and was reborn as a larger, more relaxed space while maintaining its classic atmosphere.

We visited on a Sunday evening and were able to enter without a wait.
Soft light streamed in through the stained glass windows, creating a relaxing atmosphere.
The aroma of the wood and the sound of the cutlery are all in harmony, as if you are in the world of a story.

A "Ghibli-esque" world woven by ceiling paintings and lamps

The ceiling painting of flowers andcolorful stained glass are the highlights of the restaurant.
Every detail, from the antique lighting to the counter lined with objects of small houses, exudes warmth.
It is no wonder that the restaurant has become a hot topic on social networking sites, with people saying, "It looks like it could be in a Ghibli movie.

Signboard dog Mame welcomes you!

The store has a black terrier dog, Mame (8 years old)**.
She is very cute as she leisurely walks around the store and gently snuggles up to customers.
She is a soothing presence that further softens the gentle atmosphere.

The grilled cheese curry has a savory aroma and melting eggs!

We had the popular grilled cheese curry (￥1,480).
As soon as it arrives, the aroma of the grilled cheese spreads.
When you put a spoon into the dish, the yolk melts and the richness of the spices and cheese mixes perfectly to create a luxurious taste.

It is a gem of a dish that is homey, yet has the elegance of a proper Western-style meal.
The portion is just right, so even one person can enjoy it to the end.

Refresh yourself with hibiscus & rose hip soda

The drink is the Hibiscus and Rosehip Soda (￥850 ).
This elegant herbal drink has a refreshing acidity and gorgeous aroma.
The large glass is perfect for relaxing after dinner.

Pancakes and coffee we received later in the day

We revisited later in the day and ordered the popular pancakes.

The freshly baked pancakes are plain, orthodox, and royal type.
They are fluffy, thick, and moderately sweet, enhanced by the aroma of butter and maple syrup.
They go well with the carefully brewed nerd drip coffee.
The "taste of an old-fashioned coffee shop" that is not influenced by trends is here.

A peaceful time spent at the counter

At the counter, you can hear the sounds and smells of food being prepared in the kitchen.
Read a book quietly or take a break with a notebook open.
This is the perfect space for those who want to enjoy time alone.

Cafe Kosaki accepts cash payments only.
The sign in the store also says "CASH ONLY," so please be careful before visiting.
