About

Set inside a renovated 1879 machiya, the small cafe serves matcha drinks and vegan cookies behind LE LABO’s fragrance shop. Seating is limited to two garden benches, and cafe visitors can ask staff to bypass the perfume queue; reviews also mention a daily pastry and matcha ice cream, though staff couldn’t confirm the gelato ingredients.
