2026.3.6（Friday）, first visit for lunch. A coffee shop on the semi-basement floor of hotel「リンデン」behind the north exit of JR Oji Station. It has been around for a very long time and seems to have many regulars, getting quite crowded at lunchtime (so there is a 60-minute limit between 10:00〜13:00). The daily lunch set, chosen from the regular food menu, includes a small salad, soup, and a drink, making it good value (the price varies by main dish, but is about 200円 cheaper than usual). Larger portions are available, though the ＋200円 charge is a little steep. As with this kind of coffee shop, smoking is allowed at all seats and the interior is full of smoke, which may divide opinions.

Visited at lunchtime on year 2026, day 4, day 4 A coffee shop on the west side near the north exit of Oji Station I came here that day after visiting nearby Oji Shrine It was crowded at lunchtime, but I sat at a table in the back and enjoyed a tasty Mont Blanc and coffee Smoking is allowed inside, so I took my time having a smoke The place felt like an old-fashioned Showa-era coffee shop, bustling with people having light lunches and smoking

I visited for a cafe break. Smoking is allowed throughout, but the ventilation wasn't effective, so the interior was filled with smoke and felt suffocating. It may be difficult for anyone who doesn't smoke.

I visited during some free time. The apple tart was filled with plenty of large apple chunks, offering enjoyable aroma and texture, and was very delicious. The coffee was neither good nor bad, just ordinary. The staff seemed a little distant, but service from ordering to delivery was quick and smooth. Also, smoking is allowed at all seats, which is rare these days. That's appealing for those who enjoy smoking, but those who dislike it should be aware. Overall, I felt the shop had adequate facilities for passing some time.
