前は他の喫茶店だったけど、今タバコの匂いを全然感じない。タバコが嫌いな方にはいいニュース。普通は静かで、勉強しやすいと思う。ちなみに、こっちのFrench toast はめっちゃ美味しい!French toastはお勧めです。 The French toast is delicious here, I totally recommend. It’s usually quiet here, and the light is bright, good to read books and study . And the cigarette smell won’t come out from the smoking room, quite a relief for smoke haters.

Great spot for studying! Single desk type seating with charging port. Coffee is a bit expensive..770-800 yen but the quality of is really good. I’ve tried both drip and cold brew type. The cold brew (水出し) has delicious chocolate undertones and is very strong. I recommend it. As for meals, I’ve have the morning set before and the portions are quite large! This coffee shop tends to be quiet during off hours so it’s a nice spot to study especially on weekends since most people aren’t really hanging around Waseda during Saturday and Sunday unless they live nearby.

Petit déjeuner salé ou sucré selon vos goûts, café Renoir est une bonne adresse pour prendre son café. Service rapide. Thé chaud a la fin offert.

休憩で利用し 私はアイスコーヒーとシフォンケーキ、妻はレモンティのホットを注文しました。 メニューで見たシフォンケーキは、私も妻もドーナツ程度の大きさの認識でしたが、でかいでかい(笑) 二人でデカすぎやろ〜、と驚いているとお若い女性の店員さんもクスクスされていました。 楽しく過ごせました。 味も全て私達の舌に合っていました。アイスコーヒーはブラックで程よい苦味。 シフォンケーキは、スポンジもフワフワですが生クリームが最近のケーキ屋のものよりあっさりしていて胃にもたれず、疲れていたところに最高の休憩になりました。 店内は広くゆったり出来、BGMもちょうどいい音量で心地よく過ごせます。 会社の商談や勉強されている方も見られめました。 様々な人が利用出来るいいスポットですね。

ランチしました。 店内の雰囲気も良く、1人でも気兼ねなく入れます。 ピザトーストセットを注文。パンはふわふわでチーズはとろとろでとても美味しかったです。ホットティーもおしゃれな入れ物に入って提供されました。 店員さんの対応もとても良くて好感が持てました。 各種キャッシュレス支払対応です。
