This restaurant is on my favourite street in Hachioji, and I must have walked past it a dozen times before. On this particular day, my favourite restaurant was closed to the public (they don't really advertise it), so on the way back to the hotel I went into Café Rin. They had a tomato keema special, and that was all I needed to know. It came with several different sides, and I ate several of them before I remembered to take a photo (Sorry!). The decor is quite cozy, and stocked with little knicknacks crafted by the local artist community. I really want to go back and try the cheesecake, and if they still have that keema when I come back I'll have it again. I went back in May 2025, and the place was closed for an artists' workshop. I tried again a few days later, and it was quite a bit busier than my first visit. I had the keema curry again -- and the cheesecake.

Cozy adorable little cafe nestled on a quiet street. Nice view and great service. Super homey

Baked cheesecake, quiet cafe, and the owner is very friendly. She speaks a little bit of English.

📷About the shop ・A small, warm café nestled in a quiet area of Hachioji ・In a calm, wood-based space, you can enjoy homemade sweets and carefully brewed coffee ・Its charm is the comfort it offers, whether for time alone or for conversation 📖What I ordered ☑︎Chocolate cheesecake ¥650 ▶︎A chocolate cheesecake that looks rich just at a glance. The smooth texture, sweet and deep chocolate, and the fragrant aroma of cheese go together perfectly. The texture of the nuts adds just the right accent. ☑︎Dark roast blend coffee ¥600 ▶︎Coffee in a stylish mug with character. Its deep richness and bitterness are outstanding, and it pairs perfectly with sweet cake. ※-¥100 with a cake set 💁‍♀️Good for Solo:◎ Dates, friends:◎ Families:◎ Note: For those who want to spend a relaxing time ｡.｡･.｡*ﾟ+｡｡.｡･.｡*ﾟ+｡｡.｡･.｡*ﾟ+｡｡.｡･.｡+｡｡.｡･.｡ Thanks for reading to the end!

I visited to see an exhibition. A simple, warm interior where you can feel the warmth of wood. On top of that, artists' works were displayed on the walls, and they blended in just right. There happened to be a menu collaborating with the exhibition, so I ordered the Tea-Party plate + café au lait. The afternoon-tea-inspired plate set included seasonal flavors (pumpkin, apple) and event touches (a little white Halloween ghost), a menu that was exciting both to look at and to eat🍎🐿️ (Each item was made with great care, and I could feel the owner's sincerity, which warmed my heart☕️) The cups and plates used to serve the menu are apparently "handmade by artists," purchased by the owner in various places. The atmosphere felt friendly, and the owner, who is skilled at bringing out each artist's unique qualities, has a lovely personality(⌒▽⌒)🌼 A lovely café where the atmosphere, menu, and exhibition come together in harmony🫖🧁🌿
