The smell of home-cooked meals wafts through the air, invoking a sense of comfort that only a truly special café can provide.

The café's early opening hours are perfect for early risers looking to grab a delicious breakfast curry, with options starting as early as 6 AM, as mentioned by satisfied customers. Plus, with affordable pricing for drinks and bites, 結花 noted the fantastic cost-to-value ratio, perfect for a casual evening out.

新潟市本町の下にできたお洒落なカフェ。料理やスィーツの質も高く、特に看板メニューのモツ煮定食は柔らかく絶品。各種イベントなどあり年齢層もとても広く以前の下のイメージでは考えられないような素敵なカフェです。またペット同伴可もとてもうれしいです。

Super cute cat cafe on a street that feels preserved from the Showa era. The food felt like what japanese parents make at home, more delicious than most stores! The natto beans were the largest I've seen. The cats are so friendly and many locals are always hanging around. The owner can speak enlgish and is so fun to talk to. I recommend!
