Equipped with a spacious kids' room! Reasonably priced lunches are also popular ♡ A stylish cafe where you can relax with your children (Ashiya Town, Onga District)
Hello, I'm ayu.latte, a writer who loves cute cafes.
This time, I'd like to introduce a wonderful cafe that is easy to visit with small children.
Connect cafe (Ashiya-machi, Onga-gun): Equipped with a large kids' room! Relax while keeping an eye on your kids
Connect cafe opened on August 4, 2023 in Ashiya Town, Onga District, which is known for its beaches and fireworks festivals in the summer and the Ashiya Sand Sculpture Exhibition in the fall.
The brick exterior has a retro feel and is very cute.

The owner, who has four children, decided to make his dream a reality by creating a cafe based on his own experience, where "parents and children could spend more time together."
There are plenty of toys for children to enjoy, and parents can watch them through the glass windows, so parents can relax and chat with friends.
By the way, "Connect" has the meaning of "to connect" and "to be linked." It was named with the hope that the connection between parents and children, the desire to connect places outside Ashiya to Ashiya, and the hope that the joy of raising children can be conveyed to young people.

The interior is also cute, and the owner tried to create a space that would make you want to take great photos.
You can enjoy taking selfies with a large stuffed teddy bear in the large mirror, and bear ears headbands are also provided for you to use when taking photos.

Reasonably priced lunch
There is a menu at each seat, and customers fill out their own order sheet and take it to the register.

It's a pretty luxurious meal with rice, a daily main dish, about six side dishes, and miso soup. It's nice to be able to enjoy a little bit of each dish.
The main dish for the day was the chicken with a rich sauce that went perfectly with rice.

Both flavors are light and mild for children.

Of course, you can also enjoy sweets and drinks.
This is the "Chocolate Crouffle" (700 yen). It is a freshly baked cruffle topped with chocolate ice cream, Oreos, and nuts. The outside is crispy and the inside is chewy and delicious.

When you pour in the lemon juice that comes with it, a chemical reaction occurs and it turns a beautiful purple color! You'll feel like a wizard in front of your kids!

"By deliberately separating the spaces for adults and children, each person can enjoy their own time. I want this to be a shop where people can keep smiling the whole time they're there," says the owner.
Even if you don't have children with you, you can enjoy this cafe at your leisure. Why not stop by on your next drive? (Text by ayu.latte)
