Wednesday cafe&bake

Wednesday cafe&bake is a renovated coffee shop housed in a former agricultural cooperative warehouse, located on the outskirts of Higashikawa town, about 7 km from the town center. True to its concept of being "a quiet sanctuary away from the hustle and bustle," the space feels like a hidden retreat tucked inside a peaceful forest. Their specialty coffee features beans from Kaneko Coffee Beans, which are thoroughly washed in the natural underflow water of Mt. Daisetsu before being roasted. Served as hand-drip or espresso, the aromatic coffee crafted with famed mountain spring water is truly exceptional. During lunch hours (11:00 AM – 2:00 PM), you can enjoy curry or plate lunches made with fresh, locally grown Higashikawa rice and vegetables. From 2:00 PM onward, the menu transitions to sweets, including delicious French Toast. Everyone's favorite, the Sweet & Spicy Chicken Mayo Plate, combines a savory sauce with home-made mayonnaise for a deeply satisfying meal that pairs perfectly with rice. The Garlic Shrimp Plate is another indulgent choice, loaded with plump, juicy shrimp. For dessert, the charmingly presented Lemon Cake is highly recommended, offering a flawless balance of refreshing citrus aroma and gentle sweetness. Before you leave, check out the shop counter where you can purchase house-made organic oat granola and roasted Kaneko Coffee Beans—perfect souvenirs to take home. Whether you are looking to unwind in nature or indulge in delicious food, this coffee shop offers the ideal relaxing escape.
