Take a breather at an old-school coffee shop ☕️ Let me introduce you to Kohi-dokoro Hitoyasumi, a charming little café in Ōyama, Itabashi.

The exterior gives off a nostalgic, retro vibe—like it’s been around for decades. But step inside, and you’ll find a surprisingly fresh and cozy space, maybe thanks to the non-smoking policy and clean white walls.

Right at the front counter, the staff is casually seated, which adds a bit of a quirky charm to the place—made me smile a little, honestly. Local ladies gather here, chatting away like it’s their favorite neighborhood hangout spot ☕️

It’s a small café, but that just means the hardworking owner’s warm hospitality really shines through. You can feel the care in every detail.

Here’s what I had this time:

1. Strong Blend – 480 yen Smooth and easy to drink, with a solid depth but not heavy at all. No sourness, just a clean, refreshing cup—perfect for mornings or a little afternoon reset.

Spending time here, sipping coffee in this calm, retro atmosphere... it's honestly the best kind of break ✨ Next time, I’d love to try another item on the menu.
