Gelato was delicious and well priced! Cute macaron vending machine out front. Friendly staff and clean tables. They add a yummy sugar crisp thing on the gelato which was a nice touch.

If there is one thing I have been surprised on our trip to Japan-you find great cakes in nearly every city. If you happen to be in Nara, this cafe is the place to go. They offer a nice selection of incredibly delicious cakes and good coffee. During our visit we had been the only tourists.

The ice cream is the REAL thing. We tried mango and chocolate, both were delicious!
