シゴトの時間調整で、開店と同時に初訪問 信州りんごマフィン@510とドリップコーヒーL@520をオーダー マフィンはチーズクリームも入っていて、美味しかった 本屋さんが併設されており、書籍も席に持ち込む可能でした!

Cafe inside a TSUTAYA-run bookstore. New favorite place in Karuizawa. Serving Lavazza coffee along with other non-coffee drinks such as Matcha and Chai lattes. I don’t think they serve Starbucks coffee anymore. Great place to gather local info on Karuizawa.

軽井沢なのに代官山辺りの書店の雰囲気。言い過ぎかもしれませんが、そんな事を感じさせてくれる田舎?は中々ありませんね。ちなみに私は車•オートバイ好きで、モトテカさんは移転前から利用させてもらっています。

軽井沢に本屋併設カフェがオープン 週末スイーツ。 スーパーの隣になった大型書店が閉店してから ずっと空き店舗でしたが 軽井沢書店がオープンすると聞いて 行ってきましたー。 2018年5月18日オープン。 軽井沢。 デリシア隣にあります。 モダンシックな雰囲気で、 デリシアと合ってる~。 店内は、本屋さんに併設されていて 購入前の本の持ち込もOK。 何時間でもいられるわ~。 本屋さんもオシャレだなぁ~ と思ってら、ツタヤと関係してるみたい。 雑貨も欲しくなるものばっかり。 カフェの店内は、カウンター席、テーブル席。 外にもテーブル席。 外のかわいい車は、移動本屋さんだそうです。 コロンとしててかわいい~。 照明もオシャレ。 カフェ。 同じ道路沿いに、モトテカコーヒー軽井沢があったんだけど 移転されたのかしら。 スタバの豆を使っているから、スタバのマークがある。 メニュー ●アイスカフェラテ ●ココナッツとマンゴーのプリン(だったかな) 250円 これ、とーっても美味しかった。 プリンのプルプルしたなめらかさと 爽やかなマンゴーが甘みがベストマッチング。 ツルヤにはミカドコーヒーがあるけど デリシアにはカフェがなくて、ずっと残念だったんだけど 本も買えるし、これからは デリシアで買い物をする頻度が増えそう。 満足スイーツ。
