Yàn Cafe - 鎌倉市

Such a great experience. We were lucky to be alone for almost the whole time, so we really enjoyed the place and got the most out of the whole experience. Such a vibe. The healing curry was honestly so good. Some flavour I’ve never tried before, combined with other new flavours which were just as unexpected and wholesome. We actually visited this cafe 7 months ago, but forgot to write a review. I recently remembered about this place and I’m planning to go back very soon to see if they added some winter choices in their menu. We loved the service, the place and the food. We will see you again soon!

Very old building and easy to miss. Surprisingly fancy and very good. Home made cola floats and curry was really good. Had basque cheesecake as well which was a hit. Recommended!

Cute cafe in Kamakura. Hidden in the backstreets, but seems to be very popular with young Japanese people. It's like a date spot. There is wa-shitsu style seating. Might be a great spot to visit during winter. We tried their curry, waffle set and purin set. There were not any vegetarian food options if I remember correctly. The way food is decorated on the plate was so artistic. It was like a sculpture arrangement. I was little disappointed though cuz we went there on a rain thunder day, and were soaked wet when we entered. I wished they offered to bring the heater closer to us because of how wet all our clothes were... But maybe that is not an expected kind of consideration in Japan. Hoping to go back on a nicer day some other time.

The definition of coziness . Away from the more crowded spots of Kamakura, this cafe offers a traditional yet personal environment to appreciate good, homemade dishes and drinks. Suitable both for lunch and for teatime, the freshness and the quality of the products make up for the rather limited choice. Overall, a nice and soothing experience for a good price.

All I can say is WOW, I am sooo happy I came here today. Despite being very near a major tourist attraction, this delightful quaint little cafe was truly authentic and welcoming, not overcrowded or commercialised in the slightest. Although it is a bit hard to find, once you’re inside it feels like you’re being welcomed into a warm neighbour’s house. The rusty look with dry flowers and different ornaments just make this hidden gem so delightful. We were soaking up the atmosphere like sponges. I was too late for lunch so I got the cake set instead for ¥1,100 and my word, the cake was delicious and generously served with cream, ice cream and lots of yummy fruits. The coffee was in a beautiful cup as well. The kind staff were super welcoming and served with a smile the whole time. Background music of chilled lo fi beats was perfect as well. Absolute 5 stars from me despite fewer visitors to Kamakura, I hope this cafe survives covid and prospers
