Hangin’ at Nanjya Monjya #YoCafe

  One social media pro that seems to be keeping on the pulse of what to do in Japan is Red Duck Post. I tried to get them to let me tag along but they left me hanging. I think though that I’ve only made it to one of their suggested destinations: Nanjya Monjya Cafe….

Cozy Coffee @ Cafe RRRoom #YoCafe

I hope you don’t mind cats. This cafe’s got one. She’s the star, or maybe the mascot of RRRoom cafe. Her name is Mu and she’s even got her own picture book that ornaments the shelf beside the table. But I promise you, she’s not the reason I visit the RRRoom. In fact she could…

Brownies- with a Twist

I owe you the spill on those lime cheesecake swirl brownies. Not much to it but here it is: Cafe on Main holds a place on my calendar every Thursday. I don’t make it every week but Cafe on Main is a cool event hosted by a local church, chock full of chat and musical…
