This is my favorite home-roasted coffee shop. It has a strange name, ``Laundry Boat,'' but there used to be a building called this on Montmartre Hill in Paris. It was the center of activity for artists, literary figures, and actors of the time, including Picasso. The master apparently opened the shop about 40 years ago with the desire to create a hangout place in Yorii like the one that used to exist in Paris. When you step into the store, a surreal world opens up. In one word, it's a retro space... Old folk house cafes are also popular these days, but when they first opened, they didn't aim to create an old folk house style, and it looks like they've aged naturally over the years. The counter chairs have also been repaired. There are more than a dozen old clocks, mainly wall clocks, hanging on the walls. Among them, there are some clocks that keep accurate time, but I recently noticed that the clocks are different depending on the day. The master is a very warm-hearted person, and if you go alone, talking with him is one of the pleasures. It's a small restaurant with 3 tables that seat 4 people in addition to the counter seats. The booklet written as Daifukucho is the menu table. Since there were a lot of photos, I only took a few photos. There are also snacks like spaghetti and sweets. I only use the restaurant after finishing lunch, so I haven't had any snacks. Every time, I enjoy a relaxing time while enjoying delicious coffee. Among them, my favorite is Mandhelin Sumatra G1, which has a refreshing bitter taste. The BGM that plays inside the store is a famous classical piece. It flows quietly with the sound suppressed. Whether you visit alone or with a group of friends, it's a hidden cafe where you'll be satisfied every time with its calm atmosphere and delicious coffee. It's a retro shop, and smoking is still allowed. To get to the store, you have to walk several tens of meters down the road that leads to the temple, so you may not even notice the store's existence from the wide street. There is a parking lot in front of the store, although it is not large.

2020.12.10 I have something to do at Yorii, I found this shop by chance. The building is Showa retro. I fell in love with the cool atmosphere and went in. The store is not large, but It's tasteful It's a very calm and relaxing place. The master was a smiling and kind person. This time, I ordered a cappuccino. It was fragrant and very delicious! Next time, I would like to visit you for lunch. Repeat confirmed!

It's about a 6-7 minute walk from Yorii Station. I found a stylish coffee shop and entered it. I ordered an Italian blend and chocolate cake. Sit at the counter and do various things with the dandy master. We had a talk. I just ate Yorii's famous sauce cutlet bowl. Apparently he was a classmate of the proprietress of Tarekatsudon. By the way, the origin of the store name is Tokiwaso, which is called in Japan. He seems to have used the French version of the phrase. I also received a refill of blended coffee for 400 yen. A total of 1390 yen. The coffee is a little weak, which is a charm. It seems that it was open all the time except for New Year's Day. It seems that it finally collapsed last year. It seems that it has been in business for 42 years, but it is still going strong. good luck.

"postscript" The Master passed away in the summer of 2023. I humbly pray for your soul to rest in peace. As of November, his wife has taken over the store. When I went there in the spring of 2021, the master was not feeling well and was temporarily closed, but it has reopened again. I heard they are closed on Mondays, but it's best to check before you go. …………………………………………… An inconspicuous place just off the road. Calm down. The friendly master is cutting the wood by himself. The menu is extensive. We also sell coffee beans. Smoking is allowed, but there is no designated smoking area.

Nostalgic menu. Calm atmosphere. Retro sweets. Roasted coffee. I really liked it! Next time I'll visit you for dinner.

Coffee is really delicious. I always order Neapolitan and fruit sandwiches.

The color of the coffee is light, similar to ``strongly brewed roasted tea.'' But that doesn't mean it's bad, and I guess that's just the way it is. I was also happy to see that a large amount of persimmon seeds came out as part of the tea ceremony. Coupled with the owner's high level of hospitality, this is a very comfortable coffee shop.

A coffee shop run by a very friendly and kind-looking master who always says, "Excuse me." The shop name was the same as the place where Picasso lived, so when I asked him if he used to do painting, he shyly replied, "No, just a little." Customer service is also very soft. The coffee has a very pleasant taste, but I think it's a bit good for people who don't like bitter coffee in the morning. I would like to try the spaghetti and pizza menu someday. Probably the only coffee shop in the area. Unlike cafes these days, you can feel the passion and commitment they put into their coffee.

Freshly brewed delicious coffee Friendly mom's coffee shop

Very traditional coffee house indeed! House blend with nice aroma. Must try!
