毎週金曜だけランチを出してくれる。700円で意外に美味しかった。そしてでっかい建築の本を建築事務所で読めるのは何となく楽しい気分になる。心地よい空間でゆったりした時間を過ごせる。

一見入りにくいですが、入ってみるととても居心地がいいです。 カフェを利用すれば、建築やアートの本が読み放題です。本を読んでも、個人の課題等をやっても大丈夫。 学生は200円、一般は500円でした。 メニューは、抹茶、コーヒー、オレンジジュース、中国茶で夏限定でジンジャーエールもやってるそうです。クッキーが付いてきます。

It was a great place to study and work on homework. It was a nice, calm environment with quiet jazz playing. I have limited Japanese but the owner was very helpful. The menu was available in Japanese and English, and the prices were all very affordable.

金曜日のみランチもやってます。 通常は500円(学生は200円)でドリンクと本の閲覧。 静かで穴場なブックカフェで重宝してます。

I love this place and have been able to get a lot of work done here. It's not really a cafe, it's more like you pay a usage fee for the library and the beautiful space, and a drink comes along with that. I get the sense that I can stay there and study or browse the books for as long as I please.
