A self-roasting coffee cafe in Otome-cho, Kasugai, about 10 minutes' walk from Shinryo Station, where locals have been coming for over 30 years. The morning set (from 540 yen), which includes bread and yogurt with just the drink price, is an incredible value—popular enough that people line up before opening even on weekdays. Belgian Brussels waffles and handmade sandwiches are also highly rated. The spacious, high-ceilinged wooden interior is where locals consistently say 'I have been coming here since childhood' and 'it never feels dated.' Google Maps rating 4.1. Open year-round from 7:30 AM. Recommended by Kasugai City Tourism Association.

'A cafe I have been going to since childhood.' 'So grateful that morning comes with just the drink price.' 'Even on weekday mornings it is crowded - that proves it.' 'The Belgian waffles are outstanding.' 'Even on my 6th visit, it is consistently good every time.'
