    Great brekkie/brunch/lunch cafe with great coffee and food. I ordered the English Muffin set which included a salad and coffee. They also sell merchandise and roasted beans. The cafe has an edgy nice vibe = British > Japanese blend with a raw industrial interior. Overall, stop in for a bite and a spot of coffee, you will not be disappointed 😍

    Brunch/lunch Menu starts at 10am so be mindful if you want their delicious vegan meals. The cinnamon rolls is delicious 😋 The cafe is within walking distance from the Zushi-Hayama station. We love it here!

    Offers vegan brunch plate which was delicious. Plate made up of; homemade sourdough bread, beans, roasted vegetables, hummus and vegan sausage. The vegan sausage is handmade in-house as well as the sour dough bread. Also have a vegan hotdog and salad set on the menu. (Well labelled) Offering almond and soy milks, as well as vegan cookies and cakes Great coffee which they roast themselves too! Lovely place, people and atmosphere!

    This place is super comfortable. Nice coffee, food, music, wifi, power and free parking (for one vehicle). Easily spent 4 hours here to get work done, grab lunch and just chill. You can tell that the owner definitely loves what they do in the attention to details here.

    Great coffee, great atmosphere. I knew this coffee brand from London and bought their beans. Was really surprised to find it in Hayama, and needless to stay that we went in and checked the place out. Highly recommend

    The atmosphere and service were great. They played good music and had their own merchandise to sell. We ordered the meat lasagna which came as a big portion and was tasty. I only wish it was a little warmer. We had the espresso tonics which were a great pick me up on an otherwise cloudy day. Overall, a great little hidden cafe

    One of the best cappuccinos I’ve had in Japan, coupled with excellent vegan food and a cozy atmosphere. Staff is lovely, their bean selection is vast, and I only wish I lived closer. A must-visit if you’re in the area!

    This place is awesome, not pretentious, really nice and cool staff, great food, currently a cute dog sitting next to me, what else could I possibly want? Ordered a hot dog which surprisingly came with two glizzys and was a giant sexy greasy mess. Really cool merch too. Can't wait to come back.

    Love the coffee. Would like to see variations in the menu. Food is great, but the menu offerings never change.

    I’ve been here several times and it never disappoints!! The coffee selection is extensive and yummy of course. I like a regular cappuccino most days; husband loves the Vietnamese iced coffee. The food menu is small but everything on it is done so well and consistently. We love the English muffin breakfast and the vegan burger, both come with a delicious salad! Dedicated parking spots right across the street. The staff are always so kind and lovely. Update: I learned bread is so amazing because it’s made IN HOUSE. Also the smoked salmon panini is so.damn.good.

    The folks at Dark Arts are friendly and welcoming. The café has a lovely, chill atmosphere, great coffee, and tasty food… what more can you ask for?

    Dark Arts is the perfect spot for a nice chill breakfast or lunch. Between the mood setting decorum, cool apparel for sale, music and great food, this place is always a fantastic choice. The Vietnamese coffee is AMAZING, the veggie burger is worth getting every time and the specials are always worth getting. If you’re reading this review and haven’t been, go! It’s worth the trip.

    The best coffee in Japan. Fact. Coffee is delicious, food is great, styling of the premises and merchandise is spot-on. Friendly and welcoming atmosphere, music and people. Staff can communicate in Japanese, English and Italian.

    So delicious, the vegan panini was out of this world yummy and I’m not a vegan. Give the hot dog a whirl too, it’s very tasty!

    Wow! With my wife we had a vegan burger and a chocolate cake with cafe latte, and it was stunning. The portions are generous, the taste is refined and not oily, the chocolate cake had subtle coconut flavor, and the coffees were very well balanced. I couldn't say from the outside that we would find such a nice eating place. We recommend!
