The size is around 20 seats, but they're small chairs and crowded around the tables. Very much a reading atmosphere, with lots of books around. Couldn't get an identification on the music, but I'll call it easy listening guitar. No Wi-Fi or charging. Interesting coffee with an unusually bitter strength. Dangling around four stars, pushing it to a strong four on the friendly customers.

Very nice and relaxing , so different from big chains. I think ¥650 for iced coffee is a bit expensive but it was very good.
