Invitation to the Hidden Cafe, Cafe Alana in Izu

Exquisite buttery scones and elegant home-roasted coffee

Nestled in the quiet town of Kawazu at the tip of the Izu Peninsula stands a solitary cafe, Cafe Alana. Its understated sign might make it easy to overlook, but stepping inside reveals a hidden, tranquil space.

Profound coffee flavors and blissful scones

The original blend, 'Nadeshiko Blend,' is carefully brewed from the beans to produce a rich flavor. It has a smooth mouthfeel and a refreshing aftertaste. The iced coffee adds a touch of freshness, making it an easy-to-drink cup, much like tea.

The specialty here is Kumiko's homemade scones. With a rich buttery aroma and a crispy texture that melts in your mouth, a bite will transport anyone to a dreamlike state.

Leisurely enjoyment of time

The small interior has only a few table seats. Savoring coffee while listening to music in the leisurely flow of time creates a comfortable atmosphere, as if visiting a friend's home.

On warm days, you can fully enjoy a blissful time at the outdoor table in the garden. Located in the back alleys beyond the tourist route, it exudes a leisurely and elegant ambiance.

Valuing encounters in life

Many people seek scones as souvenirs, sometimes leading to a shortage of stock. In line with the belief of valuing encounters in life, Kumiko also refrains from offering scones to those who do not ask for them. Such attention to valuing encounters in life reflects her dedication.

When visiting Kawazu, be sure to spend a quality time at this hidden cafe.
