The café that opened in July. It has a simple interior design, but the monochrome color scheme creates a very calming atmosphere. I ordered a croffle and a café latte. It seemed like there were only two staff members working, so the service was a bit slow, but the food was cute and delicious, so I was very satisfied! Many of the customers were women dining alone, so it's a nice place to visit by yourself. I heard that the rare cheesecake is popular, so I'll try it next time. I'm glad that a café I want to see continue for a long time has opened in Katsura.

A stylish monochrome cafe located about a 5-minute walk from Hankyu Katsura Station West Exit opened on July 15th. You order and pay first, then choose your seat. I ordered the Waffle Morning set with a drink for ¥800 (tax included). The set drink was a blend (medium roast) iced coffee with waffles, fried egg, sausage, salad, and yogurt - a delightful morning plate. The waffles were crispy and delicious. I'd love to try their cakes next time. It was delicious. Thank you for the meal. I'd like to visit again. Morning hours: 8:00-11:00 Payment: Cash / PayPay / LINE Pay

Here, Noe Cafe! The interior and exterior design is based on white tones, creating a stylish and fashionable atmosphere. All the staff are women! The cute menu is also worth trying. The coffee is mild and easy to drink, with a good aroma at an affordable price. This is definitely one of the cafes with high expectations.

A stylish café near Katsura Station, which opened in July 2023. I ordered on the first floor and waited for a while in the second-floor seat until it was delivered. The cheesecake was very delicious and satisfying. It had a delicious smell, so next time I want to try the waffles.

A two-story cafe recently opened in the neighborhood near Katsura Station. Since there weren't many stylish cafes around the area, I was personally a little happy about it! There were families with children on the second floor, so I chose to sit on the first floor. It was a bit hot on the first floor because the windows and doors were open. I tried the limited edition matcha basque cheesecake and a cafe latte. The rich matcha basque cheesecake came with matcha ice cream and matcha sauce - perfect for matcha lovers. The cafe latte was creamy and both were delicious. I hope the matcha basque cheesecake becomes a regular menu item. I would like to try the waffles next time.

I tried takeout from a cafe that opened near my house. The cheesecake was 600 yen, and the sesame cheesecake was 650 yen. It was quite delicious. The sweetness was mild, but you could taste the richness of the cheese and the subtle flavor of sesame. It ranked pretty high among cheesecakes I've had. It's a bit pricey, but I felt like I wanted to eat it again and again. However, it's quite small and felt a bit expensive. There's a patisserie called Zero nearby, which I think is a competitor in terms of cakes. However, Noe Cafe's cheesecake is just baked, so it seems to lack the effort compared to Zero, and the price is set higher than Zero. In that case, I think Zero might be more appealing to customers. Also, in this location, it's important to attract elderly repeat customers. The area near Kei Station West Exit has relatively high land prices, and the elderly make up a large portion of the population due to young people living temporarily. However, I felt that the stairs to the second floor were very steep and might be difficult for the elderly. In terms of atmosphere and everything else, it seems to be geared towards young people, making it difficult to attract elderly repeat customers. As a business area, it seems like it would appeal more to the elderly, but the cafe is focused on young people. However, there is no parking or bicycle parking, and there is strict enforcement against illegal parking near Kei Station, making it quite limited for visitors with motorcycles or cars, so it may be difficult to attract young people who are a bit further away. The customer service was very friendly and left a good impression. However, it felt very geared towards young people. While the elderly may not feel uncomfortable, I wondered how many young people, who are the core customers, would visit this store. There is a cafe called Koto Oto nearby, which is frequented by the elderly and has been around for a while. I haven't made detailed comparisons, but I think there are many hints for survival in Kei Nishiguchi. I thought it might be okay to make the store a bit more elderly-friendly. Waffles seem to be inexpensive and suitable for takeout, but if the unit price of the cheesecake could be lowered, it would be more accessible. There may be ways to increase variety, but maybe they can't put that much effort into cakes. The cheesecake was very delicious, and I really hope it can survive at Kei Station West Exit, which is why I wrote my personal opinion. It was a delicious restaurant that I hope will continue to thrive for a long time.
