レトロな雰囲気の漂う〜どこか昔懐かしい田舎の小洒落たたカフェです。 店構えは窓からは店内は見えず、少し恐る恐る来店しましたがお爺ちゃんの家に帰って来たような〜実家のような安心感があり口コミの評価が高かったので期待大でした。 友人と2人でチーズケーキと、ガトーショコラとアイスカフェオレのケーキセットをオーダー。 驚くほどに味が良く、素敵な食器にとても上品でセンスのあるお味のケーキたち。カフェオレのコーヒーも香り高くとても美味しかったです。 そしてマスターの優しい笑顔。 時間を忘れて、まったりとゆっくり過ごさせていただきました。 常連さんもいらっしゃいました。

まず店内がレトロ感溢れててオシャレ、ソファー席でのんびり出来るので長居したくなるようなお店。 塩バターキャラメルパウンドケーキとカフェラテを注文。パウンドケーキはしっとりしてて、しっかり甘さもあり満足連れが頼んだカタラーナも美味しかったらしく、次も同じ物を頼むか「生モンブラン」を頼むか今から迷う。 オシャレな店内に美味しいケーキと大満足だか2点だけ。1つはトイレが店内に無く、ビルにある共用を利用しなくてはならず寒いし怖い。もう1つは2階にある店に入る為に上がる階段が狭めの螺旋階段で足元が少し不安。 でもそれだけなので足腰強くてトイレ気にしない方にはお勧め。また行きます

手作りケーキ美味しかったです。 店内はアットホーム感ある雰囲気。 モダンとは違うやつ。 ゆっくりお茶したり本読んだりに良き。 パソコンはスペース的にも厳しい。 駐車場は店舗前に2台分のみ

The best cakes in Kamogawa. Cartola is the first proper cafe to open in Kamogawa more than 20 years ago. Owner, chef Hajime-san is a wonderful person and host. Although he has a few lunch items this is very much a “cake and drink” focused cafe. And the cakes are amazing with a “home made” quality about them. Having lived in Tokyo for about 30 years I can confidently speculate that his cakes would be a huge hit if he was located there. Yet located in a somewhat unusual place this cafe is very much a local secret treasure.
