ずっと前から来たかった!! お友達から聞いて、初訪問。土曜日の本日のケーキセットを注文。ケーキのフルーツが、どうやったらこんなにもみずみずしく保てて、下の生地がビチョビチョじゃないの?ってか、このレベルで西調布のカフェで大丈夫?ってLevelで。こないだ行った銀座のお店より数倍おいしい。レベチレベチ。 本をずっと読んでても居心地もよく、オーナーのほんの趣味が幅広く本棚を見るだけでワクワクします。

お店の外観は一軒家のようでその一階部にお店はあります。 お店の奥まで行くとマスターが出迎えてくれました。 平日お昼時に伺ったのもあり先客はおらず、しばらくは貸切状態でした。 ケーキセット(ローズヒップティーとチョコと紅茶のケーキ)を注文、ローズヒップティーがポットで出てきました。ローズヒップの味が濃くてはちみつを入れるとより美味しかったです。 いろんなジャンルの本が置いてあり、探してみるのが楽しいです。 トイレが綺麗なのもポイントが高いです。壁にかかっていた刺繍が可愛い。 のんびり過ごすことがてきる素敵なブックカフェです。

ずっと気になっていてやっと来れました。 一人で静かに過ごしたい時や読書に集中したい時、心身疲れた時、絶対ここに来ようと思いました! バナナのマフィンのデザートがとても美味しくて自分の好みでした。 とても幸せな気持ちになれるのでまた行きます。

味の素スタジアムでライブのときに、隣駅の西調布駅で下車してカフェ開拓。 ブックカフェ デン さん かぼちゃのベイクドチーズケーキ 紅茶 ケーキセットにしました。 店内はたくさんの本でいっぱい。 もちろん読むことが可能です。 ゆっくりしたかったけど、時間がなかったので断念しました。 テラス席も狭いですが素敵でした。
