GROOVIN’

A slice of Jonathan apple tart, coffee and a leisurely afternoon: GROOVIN’ is a café in Nishi-Eifuku well suited to just that. Visitors have singled out the tart as memorable, and another diner also ordered the Jonathan apple tart. Among the baked treats, people have shared their impressions of blueberry, banana, and banana-and-chocolate muffins. One reviewer liked the blueberry muffin’s crisp exterior, soft centre and large berries. Another said the banana-and-chocolate muffin paired well with coffee, with restrained sweetness and chocolate that turned soft and gooey when warmed.

For coffee, the menu lists Muku Blend Coffee (600 yen). One visitor found it easy to drink, making it a natural match for a muffin. Other options include Dimbula hot tea and chamomile blend tea with lemongrass and lavender, both priced at 550 yen. Hot milk (400 yen) is available for those who would prefer to avoid caffeine. There is also black tea and cocoa, so you can choose a drink to suit your taste.

For something savoury, the light-bite menu includes a hot dog (500 yen) and pizza toast (650 yen). One diner enjoyed the pizza toast with coffee, making it an option for brunch or a small bite. Visitors have also mentioned listening to records inside; the quiet atmosphere makes the café a pleasant place to enjoy coffee and baked goods. Baked goods and bread are available to take away. Payment is cash only, so it is worth bringing cash.
