Utsuwa Gallery Cafe Yorozuan

Super cozy cafe near Niigata University

Utsuwa Gallery Cafe Yorozuan is such a cozy spot to enjoy something sweet over coffee or tea, and I feel like it just fits the autumn season so well. It's a tastefully decorated place (quite a minimalist style) with low to the ground tables and cushions to sit on, and it almost feels like you're visiting someone's house. When I visited they had several types of cake available -- cheesecake, banana cake, chiffon cake, and pound cake, plus coffee and various teas including herbal varieties. Under 10 minutes away on foot from Niigata University Station.
