Nice neighbourhood cafe run by a couple. Food is simple and nicely cooked. Coffee is very good and the prices are very reasonable. We stopped here before going to Nintendo Musuem. A great spot to get something to eat for sure.

Great find while waiting for our Museum entry. Lovely couple running this cafe. Very home made and their hot chocolate was creamy and not so sweet. Hope they will get more customers. The only downside of this place is it allows smoking . Thus its a matter of timing. During our time one customer was smoking and since the place was small the smoke can be very annoying and not healthy for non smokers. lt does affect you enjoying a lovely breakfast.

This cafe was a lifesaver when I was much too early for my Nintendo museum slot. Had a nice little breakfast here. The coffee is lovingly brewed hand drip style. And the breakfast is hand made. This time they had ragtime music on. A very authentic place.

Mille is a small time capsule cafe run by an adorable old Japanese couple. Coming in for breakfast, they offer a couple of basic set meals that come with coffee, brick toast, salad, egg, and ham. Soothing Jazz music from the 50s-60s is always playing, and it's clean inside. We came here for a light breakfast before going to the Nintendo Museum, and it was fabulous. I'd recommend anyone come here for a simple breakfast before the museum!
