July Sweets and Events

It had been a bit cooler since the rain few days ago. 
How hot it was!!!  Cafe does not any vents apart from the front door. Moreover, the cafe is facing to West, so it was deadly scorching inside of kitchen, which recorded 32 degree in an early evening. 

As my brain overheated to get on all the work and take photos, but I am missing all the photos to upload on here and Facebook. (I still don't know how to upload photos on Instagram, though...)
Now it's been already one week since July started!!!
So now I am uploading this photo.


This month's sweets, Fruits An-Mitsu with strawberries and peach/apricot slices. You can get a scoop of Vanilla ice cream on top paying 50p more.

It's the Summer pudding in Japanese style!




It's been 3 moths (already!) since I started opening on Saturdays. There were so many new customers, who told me they live just around a corner and had never known about an-an!!!)
The first Saturday opening, I had one group of customer... Now I have customers filling up tables around lunch time. Thank you so much!!!

Now, I am planning to open till late on Saturday evenings... to see what is customers' reaction like. There were so many request opening Saturday evening, so I want to know who many customers are actually interested in. 

To start with only two Saturday night cafe every month opens. I have to get my team's help on Saturdays. I never waist this beautiful English Summer evenings.
on Saturday 13th and 27th, I will open at 11:30am as usual and keep opening till 9:00pm. Okonomi-yaki service will starts around 6pm.

尚、Instead, the cafe is closed at 2:30pm on Fridays.
