I can’t recommend this restaurant enough! The owner, Miki, is so friendly and so kind. She has a large kids area inside complete with bikes and scooters to ride thru the store! Lots of area outside for kids to play or just walk around and enjoy the beautiful grounds. Large patio with nice tables to enjoy eating outside too. The menu is delicious, we’ve tried everything and it’s all ! And the scones, mmmm! Best on the island! Must-visit restaurant!

The hours need updating. Winter hours are different. We got here and it was closed. They still welcomed us for tea and scones. Since we drove an hour to eat lunch here we were so grateful. The view and peaceful atmosphere was so worth it. Great little unique spot. We only had tea and scones but it was perfect.

Wonderful experience! It is run by a mother and daughter. They are very friendly and come out to speak to everyone to ensure everything is the way they want it. They have quiche, scones, tea, and wine. It is all superb and you should one of each. The setting is in the mountains, down a single lane road, and the inside is immaculate. I started the day at the aquarium and ended up here. You will pass a lot of coffee shops on the way, stop at those as well, but this was the best experience of the different cafes on the road. The jam for the scones is made from the fruits they grow on site. This place is hard to beat.

Well worth the trip. Amazing food with the surroundings to match. The owner (maki) was very welcoming and prepared us the best scone with clotted cream and jam I've ever had. Also, she made us English breakfast tea despite it not being on the menu.

Everything is homemade and delicious. We ordered a spinach quiche with salad and a scone with homemade jam and clotted cream. The owner was so friendly. There is a possibility to sit outside with a great view. Thanks a lot for this wonderful experience. We will come again.

I've never been to Britain and I am not expert of tea or bakery but I am sure I experienced authentic British tea culture in Okinawa travel. It was all tasty and sweet in the mood of English ambience.

The perfect afternoon! Wonderfully delicious food, beautiful setting, gracious host. We had pasta, quiche, scones with clotted cream and jam all with a perfectly balanced tea. So good we had to order more scones to take home. This spot is not to be missed if visiting the northern section of Okinawa.
