Last time, I had a cocoa, so this time I ordered coffee. You get to choose either a cup or a wine glass, and today, I chose wine glass.

I mixed milk with my coffee. The shape of the wine glass lets you enjoy the delicious coffee with its rich smell.

This time I ordered, "Sumatra Mandheling (600 yen)." It's nice that each coffee comes with a description card written carefully. Since I came in late, which was 10 pm, I got a glass of coffee with less caffeine in it.

At this shop, you don't have to bring anything to kill your time, since you'll find some hard core books about coffee that you'd never find in an used book stores. There's even Othello to play with. If I get a chance to come with my friend, I'd like to have a game.

If you wish to taste the delicious coffee with a wine glass, please go visit by all means. P.S. The manager is a unique person.
