The Grande Duo shop has seen quite a turnover since its opening, but this place feels like it has been here forever... Random thought, but didn't the Grande Duo's restroom use to have rose-patterned toilet paper in the past? I remember being impressed when I first saw it... Later, it changed to plain pink toilet paper. A bit disappointing. I have been a regular here for a long time. It can get crowded around lunchtime on weekends, but it's still spacious enough that you rarely have to wait a long time for a seat. Weekdays are very relaxing, making it a favorite spot for me. Located on the packed 8th floor of Grande Duo, many people may not notice it. Especially since it's mainly a beauty floor, not many men may come here. Among the many cafes in Tachikawa, this might be one of the best hidden gems. The menu is well-rounded with drinks, food, and desserts, and the prices are standard for a self-serve cafe. I have only tried drinks and desserts here, and the taste is neither good nor bad. So, if you're looking for delicious food, this might not be the place, but if you want to enjoy a leisurely tea alone or have a chat with friends without worrying about time, this is the perfect spot. I usually grab a seat by the window and enjoy the breathtaking view. On a clear day, you can see the mountains of Tanzawa, Okutama, and Okumusashi, as well as Mt. Fuji. If you get bored of the mountains, watching the Chuo Line, Ome Line, and Tama Monorail crisscrossing below might make you lose track of time. (Is it just me?) Despite not visiting for a while, I had a great time on my recent visit, so I definitely plan on coming back. Please don't change, dear shop.
