Welcome to 蔵カフェFleurs de mars, a charming café tucked away with stunning views of Lake Biwa in Takashima, Shiga. This hidden gem is not just a place to grab a cup of coffee; it’s an experience that promises to enchant your senses and uplift your spirit.

The café is renowned for its inviting atmosphere and friendly owner, who is often lauded for creating a warm and welcoming space. Imagine sitting on the terrace, where you're treated to a breathtaking panorama of the lake, the gentle breeze enhancing your sense of tranquility.

Culinary delights await you at every turn. The menu boasts a selection of delectable offerings, with the standout being their 牛すじカレー (beef tendon curry). This dish is a must-try, featuring a perfect balance of flavors that awaken your palate without overwhelming it. Complimented by deliciously fluffy rice, each bite is a reminder of why comfort food can feel so indulgent yet fulfilling.

With the owner perfectly matching the right tea to your taste, your experience is personalized and special, making you feel like a valued guest rather than just another customer.

It is a place where you can escape the hustle and bustle, unwind, and genuinely savor the moment.

The ambiance here is perfectly complemented by the beautiful structure of the café, housed in a traditional storehouse that adds a unique character to the setting. It's a retreat from the outside world, with every aspect designed to allow you to relax and recharge.

This was one of our favourite cafés around Lake Biwa! You can sit outside and have a view of the lake. The owner is very friendly and the coffee/tea and cake set is super delicious and priced reasonably. I want to come back

9/20のランチタイムに初めて訪問しました。 場所はマキノ駅から少し離れているものの、琵琶湖目の前と素晴らしいロケーション。 カフェ店内も落ち着ける場所でした。 料理は牛すじカレーを注文。 カレー好きな自分だが、ここのカレーはシンプルながらも深い味わいがあり美味しかった!お米もとても美味しかったです。 デザートも美味しかった! 料理やデザート、カフェ自体の雰囲気自体もいいのですが、1番印象に残ったのはカフェを1人で切り盛りされているオーナー。言葉にするのは難しいですが、すごくポジティブなオーラを放つ方で居心地よかった+元気をもらえました。びっくりしたのが、お客さんを見てその人に合いそうな紅茶を決められているそうで、自分の1番好きなチャイ風のブラックティーが出てきたときには驚きました。。 電車の時間の関係で、ゆっくりと滞在できなかったのが1番残念でした。そして、バタバタと食事とデザート準備させてしまい申し訳なかったです (料理デザートの写真をとる暇もなかったです、、)嫌な顔ひとつ見せずご対応えただきありがとうございました!ご縁に感謝します。次回はゆっくり行きますね。どうぞお元気で!

Googleマップで偶然見つけたカフェ。 お店の自慢はカレーということで、ツーリング途中にランチで立ち寄りました。 建物は名前の通り、蔵を使っているので、その構造上、携帯の電波は1本が限界のようで、テーブル席に座って食事しながら、次行く場所をナビで探したり、SNS見たり〜なんて事は難しいかも(あくまでソフトバンクの場合。ドコモやauだと違うかもしれません。)なお、出入り口付近かテラス席に出れば十分使えます。ですので、誰にも邪魔されずに一人でゆっくり過ごしたい時にはピッタリのカフェだと思います。 テラス席に出れば徒歩数十歩で琵琶湖湖畔に辿り着く立地の良さ。浜辺に座ってコーヒーを楽しむのも良いかもしれませんが、私が行った時は2024年の真夏だったので、それは叶わず。 2階席もあるようですが、エアコンがないようなので、暑い時期は涼しい1Fにいる方がベストかと思われます。カレーはちょっと甘めですが、とても美味しく、ごはんは古代米を使ってらっしゃいます。 一見、駐車場がないように見えますが、お店から100mほど行ったところに専用の駐車場を完備しており、バイクならお店の前に停めても大丈夫でした。

A cafe in a traditional warehouse building and Japanese antique house interior. Shoes off to get in and relax...lunch, cakes, tea, and coffee are served.

Stumbled across this café while walking along the streets. We were warmly greeted by the owner and got terrace seats with a nice view of Lake Biwa. The lunch set is very affordable, so we also got dessert after. The owner is really really kind, talking to us about local ingredients that were used in the cooking, telling us about the architecture of the building. We were also invited to go onto the second floor to enjoy the scenery. Can only recommend this place.
