CHALO COFFEE / チャロコーヒー

My magical and favorite place in Yuzawa :)
Chalo Coffee is one of those hidden gem places around the town. If you are looking for some cozy and welcoming coffee shop this is your place. They have speciality coffee, and different options how to serve it. They take care of all the details to make your coffee perfect, also they have soft drink, fruit juices and they are always changing depends of the season. The food is also awesome. They have options for lunch, and some sweet treats for your coffee time. What I most love about their preparations is that everything if made from scratch by the owners... Please try their yummy cheesecake... You will not regret! One of the best one I've ever tried in my life. Also they have yummy muffins and cakes. If you want to hang out in Yuzawa and find a special coffee shop in town...this is the best one.
Can't wait to coming back to Yuzawa to have a coffee some mascarpone cheesecake :)

The cutest cafe at yuzawa. The interior has a rustic vibe which we love and the food and coffee are good ! The toast is soft and fluffy while the curry is packed with flavour. Their burnt greentea cheesecake is to die for. So light and airy, its not like the usual dense cheesecake which we usually have. Owners speaks English as well, so definitely a nice place to chill before you hit the slopes !

Have you tried the best coffee in Japan?

Found this quaint cafe run by a lovely family in the ski village.

The basque cheesecake and cafe latte combination is delicious and amazing.
We ordered the cheesecake, a rum and raisin chocolate muffin and cafe latte. The muffin was very flavorful.

Walked out of the cafe after a satisfying time and a passerby exclaimed she had the best coffee here too. So we know we made the right choice!

Without question the very best coffee and cheesecake in Japan, is to be found tucked away in Gala / Echigo Yuzawa. Cozy, gentle, family friendly and the most wonderfully gracious service from the lovely owners. This beautiful little creation of theirs is a little slice of Heaven. I enjoyed multiple times and it was always wonderful.

Cafe was so good I came for lunch two days in a row. Very friendly and English speaking staff, with great service. Delicious food plus options for dietary requirements also.
Chicken curry was gluten free, and they have some gluten free / vegan cakes as well.
Make sure you stop by while in town.

A beautiful Cafe with awesome coffee - latte with milk or oat milk both great. The cheese cake is spetacular! Love the atmosphere - so cozy and comfy!

Best coffee place in town. Very friendly family business. Cosy place with outstanding patisserie. Try the signature macha cheese cake!

It's so happy Iwe find this place! Good coffee great person! Thank you for great food!

Warm and cosy cafe that allows dogs inside so long as they’re quiet and well-behaved. Delicious hot chocolate and curry bowl looked yum for another time!

Cozy place for coffee and food. Owners are friendly and speak English. Had drip coffee and latte

Visited right after they opened. Was welcomed into the cafe and guided to our seats by the owners delightful little 2-year-old. Had their Basque cheesecake and coffee. Absolutely fantastic! Probably the most cozy cafe in Yuzawa. Highly recommended!

Great place to stop by for a cup of coffee & dessert. We had coffee with banana chocolate muffins & macha cheesecake. Coffee was great & the rum made it perfect on a cold/rainy fall day!!!

Great coffee, laid back atmosphere, kid friendly with lots of toys, good music, delicious cheese cake. Right across from the gondola station (use for parking).

Such a neat little spot! It was such a cozy place to have some coffee and sit down.

Curry is very delicious with various species. Papad smells good with odour of corn, and the taste is perfect as well.

Cosy little cafe with excellent coffee and cakes made in-house. The people running the cafe are very nice and friendly folks too.

Delicious coffee (my kind of taste) combined with two very kind owners, recommend to visit! Oh and the cheese cake, so soft and so delicious! One of a kind!

Amazing curry , red beans and chickpeas curry and also butter chicken are better than many restaurants in India. It keeps you full for very long. Overwhelming experience. Fantastic owners. Coffee and muffins were delicious too

Very nice place to spend a few hours in the snow ❄ nice decoration and good music 🎶
