From our beloved regulars
I had yuzu cheese and chestnuts at the special event corner of Tachikawa Isetan. The shaved ice had a variety of fillings, which made me happy. ☺︎ I'll definitely be going to the Urawa store too!❣️
We went at 3pm on a Sunday in July. By chance, there was a parking space available and one seat available, so we were able to sit in without having to wait in line. The serving time was short, too. I had the cream strawberries! The flavor was condensed milk syrup on the outside and condensed milk cream on the inside, which complemented the strawberries perfectly and I ate it all in one go. It was delicious! It was one size fits all, but the size was just right. My wife ordered the apricot and plum flavor. It had a refreshing flavor for the hot summer and was also delicious! They come in regular and mini sizes, and we ordered the regular. It looked like it was 1.5 to 2 times the size of the cream strawberries, so it was quite a lot for my wife alone. The mini might also be good. I'd like to go again if I'm in the area. Payment is accepted via cash, PayPay, and Rakuten Pay!
This cafe specializes in shaved ice and is located about a 15-minute walk from Minami-Urawa Station. I visited at 11:30 on a Sunday and there was only one other customer there. I was looking forward to the shaved ice menu that is unique to this time of year, late autumn. I sat down, wrote my order, and went to the counter. I got the regular size. I chose the chestnut mille-feuille and the ginkgo nut, both 1,600 yen each (tax included), with a set drink for an additional 300 yen. The marron mille-feuille comes with one candied chestnut, and the chestnut syrup is fragrant with nuts. As I continued to eat, I found custard mille-feuille and raspberry sauce inside. This is a sweet treat that goes beyond the realm of shaved ice. I couldn't try my favorite strawberry this time, as it is only in season from spring to summer.
Watermelon ice cream 🍉🧊🍧🥄 It was delicious! 😋 It had almond tofu inside, so I ate it all without getting bored. ︎🤍 I also got some yogurt cream as a topping, and it added a nice tart kick! I'm still a shaved ice apprentice, so the iced coffee was a disappointment. 💦 Next time, I'll get a hot one! The shop was spacious, which was great! They even had some handmade shaved ice-themed brooches, which were really cute! (՞ . .՞)
I made a reservation for a painting experience on the second floor... The original plan was to paint a Daruma doll, but my daughter and I decided to paint it freely. It was a really fun time. Then we went to the Craft Cafe on the first floor. We had shaved ice. Fluffy ice Delicious syrup There were so many options on the menu, it was hard to decide, but it was delicious. It's quite far from the station, so I think the bus is a better option... There are parking spaces for several cars. They also had shaved ice brooches for sale, which were adorable!
I love this shop. I almost only go to this shop to eat shaved ice lol It's a relaxing cafe like a hideaway for adults, and many customers come alone. Sometimes men who look like they work out at the gym come alone, and it's soothing to see them eating shaved ice. It's delicious! You have to change trains twice and then take a bus to get there, but when you get off the bus, you'll be smiling with excitement. It's worth going there even if it takes 3 hours round trip. Their Instagram posts are also kind and cute. You can really feel the personality of the person who updates them. They also run a pottery class, so the dishes are tasteful and lovely. The more popular a privately run shaved ice cafe becomes, the more flashy the menu becomes, and the attitude of the staff becomes more arrogant, and it feels like, "Look! I've made the ice with these toppings!" or "We're the ones who choose the customers," which makes the taste and the atmosphere worse, but Craft Cafe doesn't have that. I like that about it.
There were three cars parked in the parking lot in front of the store, so we used the one a little further away. Please use the same entrance as the coin parking lot on the other side of Uniqlo from Craft Cafe. My elderly mother had been craving shaved ice, so we came to Craft Cafe, which was recommended to me by the owner of the nearby Reforme Coffee. My mother finished her sweet avocado and was very satisfied. It seems she had a wonderful birthday. I was given a sweet apple, and I thought it was a classic example of the saying, "seeing is believing." Just recently, I served street-style shaved ice using a shaved ice machine we rented at my workplace's summer festival, but it was something completely different. Next time, I'd like to bring my wife and kids and delight them.
Great food, wonderful desserts, incredible atmosphere and delightful hosts. Highly recommend! Best place for a date that includes Hawaiian shave ice served in a coconut shell.
The best KaKiGoRi (shaved ice) in Saiatama!! Take out available. 2-3 cars can be parked in front of the store. Booking is mandatory for eat-in.
The Cafe's shaved ice is so aesthetically pleasing to the eyes! And the flavor does not dissapoint too. I was even hesitant to take a bite on mine since I might ruin its beauty. My money spent here was so worth it!! I would love to go back here when I get the chance. Highly recommended this cafe!
