Coffee brewed by hand drips into the cup, filling the shop with a pleasant aroma of coffee.
Each cup is carefully prepared to match the preferences of the customers that day at CAFE BRIDGE.

We introduce coffee that serves as a bridge for Mabi, which is gradually regaining its liveliness!

A variety of Dutch babies! Experience the new texture of pancakes
▲Among the sweet Dutch babies, the chocolate banana is popular.
The Dutch baby is baked in a skillet (cast iron frying pan) and served hot!
The edges of the batter curl up, becoming crispy and fragrant, while the center is soft and chewy.
The batter has a simple, gentle flavor, making it suitable for both lunch and dessert menus.
The combination of slightly sweet bananas, cream, and chocolate sauce is a recommended dish.
▲This is the Dutch baby with sweet potato and Mont Blanc cream.
Inside the Mont Blanc cream made with sweet potato, there is ice cream, and the batter is hot while the ice cream is cold. It’s a dessert that allows you to enjoy both hot and cold at the same time!
The homemade cream made with sweet potato is served with diced soft sweet potato and crispy sweet potato chips, allowing you to enjoy various textures and flavors.
Be sure to eat it before the ice cream melts.
▲Among the savory Dutch babies, the roast beef with homemade sauce is a popular menu item.
The combination of the special sauce made with mustard, pickles, and mayonnaise, along with the roast beef, is hearty and satisfying.
This menu is also recommended for lunch.
Be sure to order coffee brewed one cup at a time to match the customer's preferences
The coffee menu features a variety of options, but it can be difficult to decide which one to order.
However, the owner adjusts the brew to match your specific preferences, so they can accommodate any order!
On the day of the interview, I ordered a "coffee that has a strong bitterness."
It was easy to drink, yet the bitterness lingered on my tongue.
In the hot season, iced coffee is also recommended.
The iced coffee served in a wine glass allows you to enjoy a slightly luxurious feeling.
Using Blend No. 1, the beans are ground after receiving the order, then extracted using a hand drip method, and rapidly cooled with a cocktail shaker.
The carefully crafted iced coffee does not contain ice, so the flavor does not dilute, allowing you to fully enjoy the aroma of the coffee until the end.
▲ The homemade lemonade and lemon squash drinks are also popular.
The slices of lemon are beautifully arranged, making for great photos!
Enjoy the refreshing acidity and sweetness of the homemade lemon syrup, mixing it well before tasting.
CAFE BRIDGE offers a carefully prepared menu, from drinks including coffee to meal options.
I interviewed the owner, Takeuchi Yuya, who is from Kurashiki, about how he started the shop in Mabi and his thoughts now that six months have passed since opening.
