Great gelato - smooth and rich! What a surprise! Staff here is very friendly, they have a Danish staff here on working holiday so you can communicate in English here no problem. They have many franchise stores in Denmark and this store is the only one outside of Denmark.

Great tasting pistachio gelato and rich chocolate drink of your choice. Great ambience. Was here while searching for my lunch destination as the shops I wanted to go to were all closed. Tuesday lunch hour end of October.

Finding a world class chocolate shop in Shiretoko is definitely an unexpected surprise. Excellent Ethiopian coffee, chocolates and ice creams! One black dot… very important to have wooden tablespoons for ice creams on the go, while for on premise consumption much better appreciated would be in durable materials, both for environment and for ice cream taste

Didn't expect such a nice cafe near the national park!! Amazing selections chocolate!! Reasonable price for gelato and coffee. Great for spending some time indoors after a day of adventure. You can park your car in the opposite carpark, which belongs to the hotel. (Info as of Feb 2024)

Super stylish cafe and chocolatier. The cafe offers drinks, gelato and chocolates. The coffee beans are roasted on site. The cafe offers wifi, power outlets and usb ports. It's heaven on a hot day as the AC is great. Toilets are in the hotel.

Really nice coffee, but no plant milk available - americano was great though. Some of the dark chocolates are vegan! Great to study or work too, possible to charge devices, quiet and calm.
