The chairs and tables in the store have a retro feeling, creating a calm space.

Cafe YOU is famous for its thick omelet rice, but the omelet sandwich is also really delicious.

This is a fluffy egg sandwich baked like an omelet.

Also, the blended coffee here is delicious, and a slightly sour coffee goes well with the omelet sandwich.

There are times when there is a line outside the shop, but it is not always the case, so please try omelet sandwich and blended coffee once by all means.
