This is one of the nicest Coffee places I've ever visited so far. I had some really good coffee and also food, and you'll find this place quite comfortable, good music is also available. Finally but not less important, the service is awesome. The people working in there is so nice. This is a must to visit if you're in Sendai

Cool hippy cafe with lovely people. I had the scone special, specifically the peanut butter cream scone, which was damn good (a little small though). Very cool spot but no privacy.

One of my favorite little cafés in Ichibancho. It's in an old building that's been beautifully renovated. The staff are all kind and they speak a bit of English, so they should be able to accommodate you even if you're not comfortable speaking Japanese. (I believe they have English menus as well.) They serve healthy meals with lots of fresh vegetables. You can choose from a meal with rice, sandwiches or a salad bowl. I think all of them are certainly worth a try. The coffee is great, too. Highly recommend this place.
