Amazing meat and sweet pies!! The crust is flaky on the outside with a nice base that absorbs the flavour of the filling. They have a wide selection of interesting pie fillings too, including some you would never see outside of Japan! The cafe latte was also surprisingly delicious for a pie shop. Highly recommend!

This is what a cafe should be - intimate but large enough for a good-sized crowd, good coffee and even better food, eclectic decor but one that reflects the owners’ personalities and travel experiences. It’s a perfect cafe, really. The pies are out-of-this-world good. I’d dare venture to say it’s even better than your grandmama’s pies. I tried the rum & raisin pie, and they use a blend of Japanese muscat grapes to make the raisins! The chestnut & cream cheese pie was WOW. The meat pie was flaky AF. What can I say… this is life changing

A small café tucked away on a street not far from the 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art in Kanazawa, offering what might just be the best tarts you'll ever taste. Delicately crafted with perfectly balanced flavors, they are an absolute delight. Their drinks are equally excellent, warming you on chilly autumn days and leaving a gentle hint of cinnamon that evokes cozy afternoons by the fire during the holiday season. The owners are incredibly kind and will fill your heart with warmth. The atmosphere is calm and soothing, making it the perfect spot to relax.

A lovely cafe with great cozy atmosphere, super friendly service and absolutely amazing pies! Pastry super flaky and delicious. As an Australian, meat pie was better than those in Melbourne. Had a strawberry earl grey pie as well which was beautifully flavoured. So good I got a citrus pie to go as well. Pies are perfectly sized so you can get a couple :)) Flat white also really good!! Highly recommend. Sad I cannot come again - until I return to Kanazawa!!

First of all, they have an English menu :) The place has incredible aesthetics, very relaxing! In addition, the pies and coffee are very delicious. They clearly put more effort than your average coffee shop. I will definitely spend time here while i'm living in Kanazawa.
