I dropped into 「カフェ・ド・クリエ ケヤキゲート府中店」 on a whim. It's a lovely café with an open space and the warmth of wood, gently setting the mood for the evening ahead. ◎Access Directly connected by a pedestrian deck to 「府中駅」 on the Keio Line, it's conveniently just a short walk away. It's also within a 10-minute walk of 「府中本町駅」 on the JR Musashino and Nambu Lines, so having access from 2 stations is a nice bonus. It's very easy to stop by while shopping or between journeys. ◎Entry route The café is on the building's 1st floor. The entrance is flat with no steps, and the barrier-free design allows wheelchair and cane users to enter smoothly. ◎Seating The interior is spacious, with a variety of seats to suit your needs. Counter seats: Some have power outlets, so solo visitors can relax without feeling awkward. Table seats: Spaciously arranged, ideal for enjoying conversations with friends. The aisles are generally wide enough to feel comfortable even with a stroller or large bags. ◎Menu A full lineup of both drinks and food. The seasonal drinks and クリエ's signature pasta dishes are appealing too, but this time I simply enjoyed the flavors of the ingredients. 【What I had】 ◎Drink ■アイスソイラテ（ラージサイズ） The beautifully separated layers look refreshing. The mellow richness of soy milk and the bitterness of espresso strike a perfect balance, so even the large size stays enjoyable to the last gulp. Perfect when you want a gentle choice for your body. ◎Sweet treat ■ベルギーチョコドーナツ A moist doughnut with chocolate chips mixed into the dough. Just sweet enough, and an excellent match for the soy latte. It's individually wrapped, which also feels reassuring from a hygiene standpoint. 【—Overall thoughts—】 Despite being near the station, time seems to pass calmly here—a true urban oasis. The staff's courteous service was pleasant too, with a warmth that made me want to return. Whether you want to quietly gather your thoughts alone or meet someone special, this is a recommended spot in Fuchu where anyone can take a happy breather♪ #府中カフェ #カフェドクリエ #ソイラテ #府中グルメ #ぺんたろ

As soon as I walked in and arranged the cakes and drinks on the tray, the color contrast really stood out—a combination that lifted my mood🍰 The chocolate cake had clearly defined layers and was soft enough to sink slightly under a fork. It wasn't overly sweet, with a balance that paired easily with coffee☕ The berry cake had a distinctly tart sauce on top, and eating it with the cream underneath seemed to bring the flavors together. It was lighter than it looked and never felt heavy, right to the end🍓 We chose a milk-based drink and a fruit-based drink, and both were mild and easy to drink, pairing well with the cakes🥤 The table seating was bright, with reasonable space between seats, making it comfortable alone or in a group. There was Wi-Fi and power, so I also saw people doing a little work💻 It's very close to the station, with a location and price range（〜1000円程度）that make it easy to pop in even briefly💡 It was just the right kind of café for a little sweet treat or a quick break🙂 🌟Overall rating: ★3.7 / 5.0

【A break on the way after visiting my wife's parents, whose nearest station is Hashimoto, during the fallen-tree incident between Tsutsujigaoka〜Sengawa stations on the Keio Line】 When we left my wife's parents' house, service was suspended between “Tsutsujigaoka〜Sakurajosui stations,” but by the time we reached Hashimoto Station, “Chofu〜Wakabadai stations” too… We detoured via JR Hachioji Station toward Keio Hachioji Station, only for the suspended section to expand to “Tsutsujigaoka〜Fuchu stations”‼︎ Well, it's been about 2 hours since the incident, so maybe things are okay?… Then came the announcement: “Service resumption time is unknown.” We thought about taking a taxi home… but there were dozens of people in line at the taxi stand and 0 taxis. Even trying to book through “GO,” the wait was getting to around 1 hour, with no pickup car confirmed. We decided to take a break for now and visited this place directly connected to the station for the first time. It wasn't as crowded as expected, but the staff were taking things far too much at their own pace… The customer ordering ahead of us was alone, but we waited around 10 minutes before our family could order. Well, we had plenty of time today, so I wasn't irritated, but… Anyway, we ordered… ■アイスコーヒー 420円 ■ハニーレモネードソーダ_瀬戸内レモンピューレ使用 590円 ■バウムクーヘン 250円 They were perfectly ordinary and tasty. Thank you for the meal.

The interior is bright. And quiet. So people around you can hear your conversation fairly well. First, fine, whatever, but two of us came and ordered cake sets. The way this tray was used. It looked like things were being cleared away before we'd even eaten. Arranging things like this… really brings your mood down, doesn't it? What is this, your house?! That's how it felt. Also, the plastic film on the chocolate cake wouldn't come off. Looking closely, it was tucked underneath. How? Does that even happen? There won't be a second visit.

Both the drinks and food are full of originality. The salads in particular are perfect in freshness and color! Definitely take advantage of the “refill ticket” service, which makes the second cup of selected drinks half price. The just-right personal space and pleasant service are faultless too.
