A hidden gem halfway up the mountain toward Nanao Castle Ruins. Great food, lovely, friendly staff, a cozy atmosphere and great view of the small city and Nanao bay.

石動山の林道を辿っている途中で見つけた素敵なカフェ 七尾湾と能登島を眺めながら食事やお茶を楽しめます。 ステキなママさんは自身もバイクに乗っておられて、話しが弾みました(^-^) オムレツビーフスパゲティを食べましたが、とても美味しかったです。 ディナータイムがあれば、夜景が綺麗だろうなと思いますね 夏季限定でどうですかねぇ(^-^)

2025SSTRの道中で寄らせて頂きました。 お店もオーナー様の雰囲気もとても素敵なCafeです。 オリジナルのプリンメチャクチャ美味しくお勧めです。 ついでに国道ステッカーも購入しちゃって長居までしてしまい申し訳なかったです。 美味しいプリンとチャイ、ご馳走様でした。

Stands alongside the uphill to the ruins of Nanao Castle, this cafe offers a range of custard puddings, with a grand view of the Nanao city and the bay. Reopened on 18 Sept. Very relaxed atomosphere with somewhat retro kinda sets of furniture add to the time you'd spend at the cafe.
