Cafe • Japan, 〒211-0051 Kanagawa, Kawasaki, Nakahara Ward, Miyauchi, 2-chōme−1−１０ マンション清水 1F 中原
Located in a quiet residential area far from the hustle and bustle, this small café stands. Its name is "Cafe Saudade." With a low-profile sign and an unassuming exterior, stepping inside reveals a simple and warm space.
Drawn by the fragrant aroma of freshly baked bread wafting through the cafe, you are led to the bread counter in the back. There, lined up, are only three types of toast: plain, chocolate, and cheese. However, with just one bite, you will be surprised by the depth of their flavor.
"It's the real taste produced from the dedication to high-quality ingredients and the dedication to homemade bread," says the owner. From the dough making to the baking process, each piece is carefully handmade, making it perfect for a café time. It's recommended to lightly toast the bread and enjoy it with a cup of coffee.
The specialty of this café is not only the bread but also the coffee beans that are also home-roasted. From the procurement of beans to roasting, everything is done by the owner himself. Encountering the rich and flavorful coffee that pairs perfectly with the bread is a unique luxury found here.
The prices are surprisingly reasonable. Yet, the quality is comparable to high-end stores. The unpretentious and somewhat nostalgic atmosphere of the shop will surely make you feel at ease.
It requires a bit of a walk from the nearest station, and this inconvenience adds to the hidden charm of this café. For those who want to spend a leisurely time away from the hustle and bustle, the cozy atmosphere here is just right.
Stroll through the quiet residential area to visit the shop and encounter the homemade goodness. Cafe Saudade is truly worthy of the title of a hidden café.
