I arrived around 2 o'clock. Perhaps because it was late, I was able to get a seat easily. The seats were dirty and stained, with some parts torn. Whether you consider this part of the charm is quite debatable, but personally, it took me a bit of resolve to actually sit down. It's a restaurant, after all... After being seated, I tried to get the attention of the staff to place my order, but they seemed to ignore me and stayed by the cashier the whole time. Maybe it's a system where you have to shout your order from your seat? I asked, "Do we order from our seats?" and they nodded, so I placed my order and they hurriedly came over. What a farce. Gathering my composure, I ordered pumpkin soup, lemonade, and an avocado burger. You can choose between thin-cut and thick-cut potatoes that come with the burger. I asked for thin-cut. After a short wait, the lemonade, pumpkin soup, and burger were promptly brought to me. The lemonade was mixed with honey, giving it a unique flavor. There seems to be attention to detail. The pumpkin soup was steaming hot even though the interior of the restaurant was very mild in temperature. The rich cream soup with carefully filtered pumpkin was delicious. Delicious, but hot. Why is it so hot? After a while, the avocado burger arrived, which was slightly smaller than I had imagined. I understood and had it packed in a paper bag. The lettuce was crisp, and the meat was substantial. The avocado was tasty too. Hmm, but there's something... It's like the taste of the ingredients themselves... There's no special sauce, and it's not particularly salty either. It really is the taste of the ingredients. There's salt and pepper on the table, but it doesn't feel right to use them. Hmm... Hmm... The potatoes were seasoned just right and were tasty, so what could it be... Right, the pumpkin soup was very flavorful. While there is a sense of dedication to the ingredients, there is also a very inconsistent image. Hmm... Personally, it's Not for me. However, considering the local area, they also have a kids' menu, French toast, and pancakes, so it might be popular among families with children. (The tables, especially the ones for four, were all occupied by families with young children)
