A 3-tsubo (about 10m²) very small cafe. Seating is 2 counter seats along the wall, and 2 people fitting on the window bench. The food menu has allergy info. All baked goods are gluten-free. There are plant-based milks. The oat milk is ODDLY GOOD, the almond milk is house-made (with beet sugar), and the rice-koji milk is from marukome. Rather than a cafe, "coffee stand" feels more fitting — I thought you'd just down a drink and leave, but surprisingly there's variety in both food and drink. There are several kinds of sandwiches with sorbet options, and before entering I caught a scent that made me think "Is bacon being prepared?" — couldn't try this time, but it seems quite promising. ■ Cafe latte (changed to almond milk) It was cold so I sipped without thinking and forgot to photograph, but it came with latte art. Most commercial almond milks have some sweetness, but this house-made almond milk had clearly added sweetness as a latte. Even those who usually add sugar to lattes at cafes could probably drink this as-is. Those who don't like sweet drinks probably wouldn't find it too sweet either. It seems balanced toward both preferences. (Those who love super-sweet might find it lacking.) ■ Canele The surface isn't as crispy as a wheat canele, but overall delicious. Solid sweetness, though typical canele is much sweeter. I think the rum and vanilla aromas are well-emphasized, with much less sugar than the usual recipe. The menu also has kids' drinks and shakes with house-made ice — maybe parents with kids use takeout? Sitting as a family might be tough in some cases. Visit with that in mind. There's a small section on the wall with historical facts about the Hakusan area — interesting to read and learn. Apparently it's an officially recognized shop of Nogizaka 46's Hitori-sama Tengoku.
