Eric's Kitchen - Shimosuwa

Okay, so I think this place is THE BEST. We came here for a quick lunch. Everything about this place is superb. Eric (we think he is Eric! seems like a genuinely nice, hard working guy. He made us feel very welcome. The food was absolutely incredible; we're considering coming back tomorrow to try the breakfast menu. The place has a cool, artsy vibe. Do yourself a favour check it out.

Great little cafe. Excellent food. Worth visiting for a meal or coffee

We LOVED Eric's kitchen. It was the perfect place to relax with a cup of tea on a warm day. The environment was welcoming, as was Eric, and the cheese cake was next level. Definitely stop here to warm up from the cold.

Domo arigato from California! Most excellent coffee and company !!!

Came here for lunch, and later that same week came again for breakfast. Breakfast and Lunch are limited to two or three options each. For lunch I had keema curry (pictured). Was a reasonable portion and was very tasty! The sides were especially good as well, with a nice freshness due to the use of fresh cilantro and a light pickling. The curry was well seasoned and tasty as well. After, I had coffee and a blueberry scone which was really a highlight. Forget those hard bricks that you get at Starbucks or the convenience store, this was light, soft, slightly sweet, and really just excellent. If all the pastry is like this I would come here any time for a snack and coffee. Coffee was also freshly ground and quite good as well. Breakfast, which does include coffee, isn't quite as good a value, but still tasty. The scrambled eggs are well done, the toast is tasty, and comes topped with your choice from a variety of homemade or locally sourced topping. Was still all very tasty, but just coming from the states it's a bit of a stretch to pay about ten bucks for this type of breakfast. Still, highly recommended!
