Really cool cafe. It’s cozy, food is great but not a lot of choice. Although, the Cuban sandwich was really good. I recommend this place to everyone if you come to Himeji.

Nice place in a modernish-industrial style. There are drinks and some sweets or ice cream and good working wifi.

It’s normally very good, but once in a while, someone will talk loudly while teleconferencing so it’s a good idea to bring headphones.

I originally aimed for 'smash cafe' nearby because i wanted an espresso not a drip but the place looked uninviting. Robust though is a very nicely designed space and i hope my pictures do it justice. The coffee was fine within the limitations of drip technology and the cakes were excellent, ice cream was a bonus. It was very reasonably priced and service was friendly and efficient.

Nice relaxing cafe. Reasonably priced. And their deal for a Cuban sandwich incl any drink at ¥750 is very good. Toast was tasty and their spiced chai delicious.
