Located on the 1st floor of Kawaguchiko Nature Living Center, this café offers luxurious views of both Lake Kawaguchi and Mt. Fuji. True to the owner's wish for guests to "relax and take their time," the café serves generously sized drinks.
My favorites are the blueberry soft serve and cappuccino. The lovely light purple soft serve offers an addictive sweet-tart flavor, combining mild milk sweetness with blueberry tanginess. The cappuccino, topped with plenty of fluffy milk foam, comes in a satisfying large portion.
On sunny days, we recommend the terrace seats for a picture-perfect scenery.

I tried their Morning Waffle Plate Set, which includes a waffle, sunny-side-up egg, bacon, sausage, salad, and a drink. The main attraction - their homemade waffle - is perfectly crispy on the outside with just the right sweetness for breakfast. The house-made lemon dressing on the salad was so refreshing that I wanted seconds.
For drinks, you can choose from blend coffee (hot/iced), cafe au lait (hot/iced), or freshly squeezed orange juice. I selected the fresh orange juice, which had a vibrant sweet-tart flavor that was truly eye-opening.

Their signature menu item is the Boston Cream Pie, a traditional American dessert. It features coffee sponge layered with caramel whipped cream and vanilla custard, coated in chocolate. While it looks substantial, it's easy to eat with its moderate sweetness and distinct coffee bitterness. Paired with their specialty coffee, it promises a moment of pure bliss!

Breakfast is available from 7:00-10:00. Their popular menu item is the omelet using eggs from "Tanabe Keiran" in Oshino Village. The chef prepares omelets right before your eyes, achieving a perfect temperature for an irresistibly creamy texture! Choose from three flavors: plain, cheese, or truffle. They were so delicious that I tried all three!
They also serve high-quality dishes unusual for a buffet, such as tofu from Oshino's "Asano Tofu Shop" made with Mt. Fuji spring water, and Fujinomiya Yakisoba.

My favorite was the bread corner, featuring about 10 varieties including croissants, Danish pastries, and muffins. The mini-sized portions allow guests to try various types.
