During lunchtime, when I couldn't find a place to eat because my desired restaurant was closed or the lunch hours had ended, Colony came to the rescue. The exterior looked stylish, and once inside, I found the shop filled with cute knick-knacks. Since I arrived slightly after the lunch rush, there were only a few customers, making it a relaxing environment. I ordered the doria and pancake set, which also came with a drink. The portion of rice and pancakes was just right, giving me the best of both worlds. The pancakes were fluffy and delicious, a real treat after a long time.

I visited this restaurant for the first time because the pancakes looked delicious on Tabelog. The interior was stylish and nice. I couldn't decide between the French or plain pancakes. The French one had ice cream on top and the pancakes looked very soft, but the syrup seemed to be honey-based. I love sweet French toast with chocolate syrup and whipped cream. The plain one had a white sauce that looked very sweet and delicious. I ended up ordering the plain one. The white sauce turned out to be a butter sauce and was unexpectedly salty. Without pouring the syrup provided, the pancakes would be too salty. I wanted to eat sweet pancakes! Despite that, it wasn't bad, so I was somewhat satisfied. The pancakes themselves lacked moistness and fluffiness, feeling a bit low in quality. Overall, it was an average experience.

Cafe located on Shanshan Street in Nakajima. The interior is cute with various goods, seems to be a favorite among girls. Might be a bit too girly for guys, haha. It was crowded when I went during lunchtime, had to wait quite a bit after ordering for the food to arrive, but I passed the time by looking at the goods in the store. I recommend the strawberry pancake, while my child had the most popular chocolate banana pancake. They were delicious. Personally, I'm not a big fan of pancakes so I didn't feel a strong desire to go back, but my child, who is a high school girl, has used it with friends a few times.

I used to visit this place when I lived nearby. I didn't try the pancakes or rice, but I had some yuzu tea. The interior seemed a bit cluttered at the time, so I thought it might not be a good place to relax, but surprisingly, I ended up staying for a while. The tea was delicious, and I think the reason I stayed was because the staff left me alone in a good way. I don't live nearby anymore, but if I ever visit Muroran again, I would like to go back.

I came with friends, the interior of the restaurant is stylish and they sell various goods. The staff are friendly and the pancakes are delicious.

My partner had some business to attend to in Muroran this time. I was left at Higashi-Muroran Station, so I decided to go cafe hopping. I found a promising place and headed there from the east exit. It was supposed to be open on Sundays, but it was closed. I went back to the station and tried a cafe near the west exit, but it was closed too. Feeling tired and cold, I decided to just go to a chain cafe, but then I found this place while searching the area. I went in as soon as they opened at 11 am. Finally, after walking since 8 am! Sorry for the long introduction. Now, let's talk about Colony. It's a cute little cafe combined with a miscellaneous goods store. Since I was alone, I sat at the counter near the window, which felt quite cozy. I didn't plan to have lunch, so I ordered pancakes. I got the Strawberry Pancakes (820 yen) and added tea for an extra 200 yen. The pancakes came with whipped butter made by shaking cream and homemade strawberry jam. The fluffy whipped butter was initially delicious, but it became too rich and heavy after eating half of it. I tried to balance it out with the jam, but it was still overwhelming, so I ended up eating it without the butter. I don't have much experience with pancakes, but is this how they usually taste? Adding the tea was a good choice, but it made the total cost go over 1000 yen... As it approached noon, more customers started coming in. I finished the remaining pancakes and thought that I should have done more research on Muroran cafes. Thank you for the meal.

I visited a popular pancake shop alone around 3 PM. The shop had a small and cute atmosphere, which made me feel like it was good that I came alone. I ordered strawberry pancakes. The shop was not too crowded, but it took quite a while for the pancakes to arrive. They were probably being cooked carefully, so I'll forgive the wait. When the pancakes arrived, I noticed they came with salad and yogurt. I ordered pancakes because I wanted something sweet, so honestly, I didn't really want the salad... Am I the only one who thinks that? The pancakes themselves were fluffy and delicious, but the strawberry sauce tasted a bit cheap. Also, there was a milk yogurt-like sauce drizzled on top, which was tasty but felt a bit too much with the yogurt on the side. Overall, I would say this shop is at a decent level for Muroran. If I go to Sapporo, I know there are more impressive pancake places there. I didn't feel like trying other pancake shops after this, as one visit was enough for me. Sorry for being so picky in my review.

Pancakes and coffee are pretty normal. The cute presentation and trendy pancakes make it a good spot for high school girls and moms to have a casual tea time. It might not be the best choice for a full meal though. The shop also sells miscellaneous goods and clothes, so it's fun to have tea while shopping. The menu mainly focuses on different variations of pancakes. There are also pancakes that are more like a salad, so even people who don't like sweet things can enjoy them. However, the atmosphere of the shop may make it less inviting for men to enter.

In Nakajima-cho, Muroran City, Hokkaido, there is a popular and always crowded trendy restaurant on Shanshan Street. It is very stylish and especially popular among women. In urban areas, this level of popularity is common, but unfortunately, there are no such shops in Muroran. The parking lot is located behind the restaurant. Although it is designated as a smoking area, there are no specific partitions, so it is almost meaningless and smells of cigarettes, which is disappointing. The menu is with photos, and everything looks delicious. The lunch menu seems to be available even outside of lunchtime. The demi-glace hamburger looked delicious. The chocolate banana set pancake was delicious! Although it is a relatively new restaurant, it will likely continue to be a popular spot in the future.

I heard that they serve pancakes and as a pancake lover, I couldn't resist! However, I arrived after 6 pm when the order stopped at 6 pm... On a different day, I tried again! This time, they were open! Inside, I was impressed by the different styles of seating - brown tables, white tables, round tables, and even a raised seating area. It was hard to decide where to sit! The interior design was lovely! I chose a wooden table set this time. For families with children, I recommend the raised seating area. They had a variety of unique French pancakes that I wanted to try. While waiting, I could browse through the items in the store, so I didn't get bored. I ended up buying a wooden necklace. They have a limited food menu, so I recommend it more for a cafe experience. But it's a wonderful pancake cafe where you can be indecisive about where to sit. I definitely want to go back again!

I visited in the mid-afternoon on a holiday. It was a bit crowded, but the restaurant is spacious so we were seated quickly. I ordered pancakes and iced coffee. The pancakes were like French toast, soaked in flavor. The dishes and presentation were cute. The shop sells handmade goods like knick-knacks, stones, and soaps, which you can enjoy while waiting for your meal. There is parking behind the shop. It's conveniently located in the city, so access is easy.

In April 2014, I revisited the restaurant and added three photos of the dishes. The Bacon and Mushroom Cream Penne had a nice kick of spices that warmed me up. It's always a plus when the dishware is stylish too. Back in May 2013, I visited on a weekday around 11:30 and was surprised to see a 'Full House' sign with a note saying it would take 45 minutes for food to be served! It's rare to see such a bustling scene in Muroran! It truly is the top cafe in Muroran. This time, I uploaded a photo of the Chocolate Banana Pancakes and the menu. In March 2013, a chic cafe with a white exterior appeared on the popular Shamsham Street in Muroran. I went to check it out and can confidently say it's the most stylish cafe in Muroran. However, the presentation, ingredients, and seasoning of the dishes felt a bit amateurish. The interior design was a bit lacking too. The custard pudding that came with the cafe meal was delicious at just the right warm temperature. Next time, I plan to try the "Hamada Pudding ¥280" from the menu. They also have a space for handmade artists and a booth selling natural stones. I highly recommend the home shop "co-no-mi" for their miscellaneous goods. They regularly change the displays by different artists. Menu items include Demi-Glace Hamburger Set ¥980, Japanese-style Hamburger Set ¥980, Lunch Plate ¥980, Plain Pancake ¥830, Hamada Pudding ¥260, Komatsu's Zenzai ¥380.

This month, I saw a restaurant in Jalan that caught my interest a little because it was a bit hard to find. As soon as I arrived, I saw a sign saying the restaurant was full. And the waiting time was 60 minutes... But I didn't mind waiting, so I decided to go in! It wasn't actually full, but it felt like they weren't moving people around. Maybe because I was alone, I was able to sit down easily and chose the chocolate banana pancake set. The sign on the door made me think it was a mistake, but I really did end up waiting for almost 60 minutes haha. The pancake was topped with a generous amount of whipped cream and chocolate sauce, with a yogurt and orange on the side. It also came with pilaf and a drink for only 930 yen! The whipped cream was not too sweet, and even though it looked like a huge portion, it was just right. The pancake itself was somehow nostalgic and I left feeling very satisfied. I would definitely want to visit again when I'm in this area.

The menu is limited but they also have miscellaneous goods, creating a nice atmosphere. I tried the chocolate banana parfait and plain pancake, both of which were delicious.

I went to lunch with my colleagues at work. I made a reservation online through Hot Pepper, and received a confirmation call the next day. I couldn't answer the call because I was at work, but they called me three times to confirm, which left a good impression. When I needed to change the time, I called them and they handled it well. When we arrived at the restaurant and everyone was there, we placed our orders. The service was good. One of us had a child with them, and they even lent a toy car to keep the child entertained, which was great. Each of us ordered pancakes or lunch plates, and the wait time wasn't too long. I ordered the chocolate banana pancake set. I forgot to take a picture, but it looked almost exactly like the menu photo. The pancakes were smaller than I expected, but they had just the right amount of banana, chocolate, and whipped cream on top. The lunch plate seemed like a good choice for those who want a hearty meal. The coffee in the set was freshly brewed and delicious. We were able to use a coupon from Hot Pepper, so it was a bit of a deal. I would like to try a different menu item next time I have the chance.

It seems to be geared towards women. The interior is stylish and has a nice atmosphere. Almost all the customers were women. I think I had the café bowl. The taste is delicious. However, as expected, the portion is small. It's not suitable for those who eat a lot. Also, I remember waiting quite a while because it was very crowded when I visited. The pancakes are said to be delicious. Wasn't it the first pancake shop in Muroran? It's recommended for a leisurely date to enjoy pancakes.

I heard about a pancake shop in Muroran 1 and went there with my mother for lunch on Saturday. Luckily, we were able to get in without any waiting, but it quickly became full afterwards. My mother and I ordered pancakes. I was surprised to see that there was a set with small pasta and dessert along with the pancakes. I thought it would be too much to order lunch separately, so I was very happy about this. The pancakes we had were delicious! Probably the best in Muroran. Firstly, the cream was not too sweet! It was buttercream, but it was really delicious! It was not too sweet and went perfectly with the pancakes. The pancakes themselves were beautifully white. Even though there were three layers, it was not too heavy. It paired perfectly with the buttercream. There were plain, strawberry, and chocolate banana flavors, but the plain one really allowed you to taste the pancakes and buttercream. The atmosphere inside the shop was cute with various knick-knacks displayed. There were couples, girls' gatherings, older ladies' gatherings, families, and various groups inside the shop. The service, atmosphere, price, taste, everything was perfect. My mother was already saying in the car on the way back, "I want to go there again." Without a doubt, I think it's the best in Muroran and Noboribetsu! I want to go again!
