須磨寺にある「CAFE WINDMILL」さんにて、トマトとバジルの冷製パスタセットとシフォンケーキ。 メニューこそ少ないけど、こちらのパスタはホンマに美味しいです。 サイフォンで淹れた珈琲も美味しい。 看板商品のシフォンケーキは甘さ控えめで、 飲めるくらいふわふわ。 シュワって音がして消えてなくなりますよ。 山陽須磨寺の駅から30秒くらい。 須磨寺詣での時は、おから寿司もいいけど、 パスタもね

サイフォンで作られているのか、店内への薫り充満が至福の時を作り出してました シフォンケーキはそれ自体が甘く、味わい深い逸品。 営業時間も長いので、普段使いできるお洒落な喫茶店として、これからもどうぞよろしくお願いします

須磨寺にお参りした後に立ち寄りました。 前日、周辺のカフェを検索して悩みましたが、ここにして大正解でした。 まず店内がおしゃれ空間。 お店の方も優しく細やかに気配りしてくださいます。 私は夏限定の冷製トマトパスタのセットを注文しました。 前菜のパン(ブルスケッタ)、トマトのパスタ、コーヒー、どれも美味しかったです。 店内の造りも、お食事もコーヒーも、全部こだわっているんだなぁと感じました。 お手頃な価格でこのような上質空間が楽しめるので、おすすめです。

Enjoyed the atmosphere; siphon coffee with several blends available to try, and some foods to have as well. Tiramisu chiffon cake was nice, with an interesting take of a tiramisu in the form of a chiffon cake.

初めて行った時は、1時間も経たずに子供を連れて2回目の来店をした者です(笑) その時に親子揃ってシフォンケーキを気に入ってしまって、年内最後にお気に入りのコーヒーの飲み納め&食べ納め(笑) 子供が頼んだプリンセットの写真を撮り忘れてしまったので…追加で頼んだシフォンケーキと共にお子様のドリンクと共に(笑) 子供のドリンクもソーサーセットで出していただけるので、子供も大人と同じ気分で楽しめるようです 隠れ家のような落ち着いたカフェでなにより私の好きなコーヒー豆のコーヒーが飲めるのがありがたいです! 来年も通わせていただきます(*^^*)

提拉米苏戚风蛋糕和吐司都非常好吃(^ν^)主人/服务生的态度特别好,因为我们是外国人所以用了翻译器交流,过程也十分顺畅和愉快。 一家让我感到幸福和宁静的咖啡店~~

During a roadtrip, I had to make a stop. This place was so worth it! The barista uses a new system, similar to a mocha pot, but is quite a show of coffee-loving-science that results in a coffee that is brought to a delightful caramel loveliness. I also appreciated the cake as an option for those on the go who aren’t as enthusiastic about coffee. Super friendly atmosphere, please support this coffee store!
