They say the place is decorated in a different mood each season, and I visited right as Halloween season was approaching ~~~~~~

Cherry blossoms in spring, cherries and hydrangeas in summer, autumn leaves in fall, and a Christmas village concept in winter — apparently you get a totally different vibe every season!!!

Such a big, comfortable space, and it gets prettily decorated every season!!! So excited~~~~ I'm especially curious about the winter Christmas concept ❤️

What we ate: pastries, cookies-and-cream cake and caramel cream latte

Ta-da! It's a bakery café, so bread is a must, right?

Pastry topped with fruit and cream

The crispy pastry is so good, and eating it with sweet fruit is a perfect match haha Our 6-year-old ate this one up too! Crispy with cream and fruit coming together — great!

The coo & cream cream cake. Even our kid, who doesn't like chocolate, loved this cake haha That day our little one finished the whole coo & cream slice because it was so good! Just sweet enough, and the coo & cream goes well with the chocolate sponge~~~

The signature caramel cream latte. That nutty cinnamon aroma and flavor were really good~~ If you like cinnamon, highly recommend! Drinking it with the cream on top is seriously delicious!

The decaf café latte had a nice nutty flavor with low acidity, so the latte was really tasty too!!
