icci KAWARA COFFEE SALON

"I love this place! Great atmosphere, good Wi-Fi and amazing food and drinks. A great place to study, meet friends or just relax by yourself. Also offers a discount for students."

"One of my fave study/writing spots. Very relaxing/peaceful atmosphere, lovely zen interior, power outlets on all desks, wifi, never too crowded, fantastic service (e.g. giving me a cup of hot water on cold winter days). Pro tip: Take your headphones if you plan an extended session there, as the bgm is on a short loop!"

"This is a quiet, relaxing cafe located on the grounds of Gakuin University. The interior is made of roofing tiles, which gives it a very calming feel. The drinks and homemade sweets were delicious, and I was able to relax and unwind."

"I had visited labo the day before and enjoyed the food, so the next day I borrowed a free rental bicycle from the Isawa Onsen Tourist Information Center and headed over. It took about 15 minutes to get there. The space is spacious and has a stylish atmosphere. Some seats had free Wi-Fi and power outlets. The coffee was served in a server and a warmed cup, so I was able to savor the aroma over time. I liked that you could see the roast level of the beans when you selected your coffee. I preferred the taste of the coffee from the previous day, but with so many different beans, it's a shop I'll keep returning to until I find my favorite flavor. Thank you for a wonderful time. I'll visit again."

"It's located on the Yamanashi Gakuin University campus. It's on the first floor of the building (Crystal Tower) on the left as you enter through the main entrance. It's open to the public. This time, I ordered a soufflé cheesecake (¥400) and a French press coffee (¥600). It had a strong lemon flavor and apricot jam on top, making it very refreshing. It was delicious, but it might not be for those who prefer a strong cheese flavor. They had several types of beans, and I asked the staff which one would go best with the cake, and I chose Costa Rica. I had the impression that French press coffees can have a harsh or off-putting flavor due to the fine powder, but I didn't notice any of that. The coffee I used was a light roast, but it wasn't overly acidic and had a well-balanced fruity flavor. It paired well with the cake and was delicious. The cafe has counter and sofa seating, making it easy to enjoy whether you're alone or in a group. There are also power outlets and Wi-Fi, so you can relax and unwind. There is a parking lot, but please be aware that it is a little far away and fills up quickly."
