The espresso tonic is impressive that I returned the next day to have another one before I left Matsushima. The owner is nice and introduced us to the nearby attractions.

A quaint coffee shop with an incredible nice owner! The coffee was absolutely delicious that we wanted to go back and get a bag of coffee beans (but it was already closed by the time we leave Matsushima Bay). The owner was so nice and tried to chat with us even with our very broken Japanese. He gave us a lot of recommendations while we were waiting for the coffee. We couldn't be happier to start off our little adventure in Matsushima Bay with this cup of coffee.

Awesome coffee place along Matsushima Bay. I had the Ethiopian Guji (item A in menu) and their “Bitter” House Blend (item E). Tasting note for Guji beans are: orange, shiso (japanese herbs, the leaf with sharp edges often seen on sashimi platter), and green apple. Worth noting that the orange smell is particularly distinct upon brewing. Side note: Owner Eiji is really friendly and knowledgable. Puts in 100% effort in every pour despite having a few customers in the shop. Highly recommend this if you are into pour-over / drip coffee. EDIT: I went back the next day to try Geisha (item B) and it was awesome! Tasting notes: Lychee, pear, orange, biwa (loquat), jasmine. I could taste the lychee.
