This is a very comforting meal, and the spaghetti and toast go well with the delicious coffee and chocolate. They also have a very lovely and distinctive interior.

I love this small cafe. The owner is the best. She is very nice and tried to communicated with us by translation programs. I ordered napolitan spaghetti. Al dente spaghetti with delicious sauce, fresh mushrooms and sweet peppers. This menu include beverages in just 1,000 yen, very cheap in Japan and reasonable price. This cafe has variety of coffee beans. Recommend cafe if you have a plan to hot sand bath.

Great Latte and egg breakfast. Not many places in Ibusuki with espresso. Right across the street from Saraku Sand Bath Hall.

Cute place and open a bit earlier than some of the other coffee places around Ibusuki. The woman working was super sweet and wanted to give lots of suggestions for things to do around Ibusuki. Coffee was really good!

Great little café at the end of the beach. It is not far from the black sands. Coffee and tea were great. Cheese cake excellent. Place is comfy and service great.

The location is very close to sand bath. It’s just a really lovely place to chill and have a good coffee to relax. The atmosphere and service are amazing. The spaghetti tastes delicious, and the latte is fine. The ice cream with tender French toast is a must try dish. I would definitely recommend tourists to visit this place.
