Such a nice place! The atmosphere was both cozy and modern, the food and drink was great (loved the souffle!), and the staff were all really nice. This is a great place to eat and chat! (All of the drinks (coffee, tea) can also be made with soymilk too!)

The pizza was made with care and it tasted very nice. I recommend! I also enjoyed the Sakura angel food cake. But it would be so much better with full cream whipped cream! (純生だったら5つ星) Overall, a great little cafe in Iiyama!

I have visited Elk twice with friends. The coffee and iced matcha are delicous. I tried my first soufflé here seasonal apple flavour, the pasta and croc monsure also had my tastebuds clapping. If you're in town I do recommend dinning here.

飯山駅周辺の洒落たカフェ。 駐車場は店舗裏にあります。 店舗、店内の作りがオシャレで、とても素敵な空間が広がります。 パスタは1.6mmかな。しっかり作ってありました。 タコライスも美味しい (*´~`*)ŧ‹"ŧ‹"ŧ‹" 飯山で寄るならオススメのお店。 是非!

こじんまりとした店内ですが、とても居心地が良いです 今回はカフェで訪れてみました エルクプレートと挽きたてコーヒーを注文。 セットで100円引き。 エルクのエスプレッソをたっぷり使ったというソフトクリームは、コーヒー風味豊かで甘すぎず大人な味わい ふんわふわで、程よい弾力と柔らかさのシフォンケーキも美味しすぎすから大好きです‼︎‼︎ 季節の飯山スフレが人気みたいだけど、私のおすすめはやっぱりシフォンケーキですね〜 他のお客さんも、シフォンケーキ頼んでいる方が多い様子でしたよ お食事・スイーツまで、全てにこだわりを感じられますね! 最高の癒しTIMEでした

旅行の途中で一人でランチした。 お店は新しく、清潔感漂う。 リックを床においたら、どうぞ隣の椅子の上に置いてくださいという。小さな気配りが行き届いている。 カルボナーラにアイスコーヒーをつけてもらう。提供はとても早い。 カルボナーラ濃厚で美味しかった。少しだけ火をいれた温泉玉子というか、濃厚な味だね。 食後のアイスコーヒーがたいへん美味。焙煎の香り高く素晴らしいね。
