Welcome to U and Cafe, a cozy hidden gem nestled at 16 Mikkamachi in Hachinohe, Aomori. This delightful cafe specializes in crafting mouth-watering waffles that promise to delight your taste buds and warm your heart.

Upon stepping into U and Cafe, you will be greeted by a clean, minimalist decor characterized by crisp white interiors that invite tranquility. The calming atmosphere is curated perfectly for enjoying a leisurely afternoon, either alone or with loved ones. Various patrons have remarked on the serene vibe, making it an ideal spot to relax with a good book or catch up with friends.

The star of the show here is undoubtedly the waffles. Guests rave about the Chocolate Banana Waffle, perfectly paired with rich, creamy whipped cream and a delightful chocolate sauce—an indulgent treat to satisfy your sweet tooth. For a taste of something unique, the Tiramisu Waffle showcases the extraordinary synergy of smooth cream and subtly sweet coffee syrup, making it an unforgettable experience for coffee lovers. As one customer happily noted, "The flavor combination is almost divine!"

If you're looking for a classic, the Cinnamon Sugar Waffle offers a warm, comforting taste that's simply irresistible, finished to perfection with a sprinkle of sugar. U and Cafe also boasts a varied menu that includes savory options like curry, adding layers to the waffle experience. One patron mentioned their fondness for the restaurant’s uniquely flavored curry, alongside the satisfying soft texture of the waffles. As Branden Carroll observed, it’s “a nice, quiet little spot to grab a bite and coffee,” making it perfect for a peaceful escape.

U and Cafe also emphasizes quality with its freshly whipped cream, made with a delicate touch that makes it feel light and airy. Customers have appreciated that it’s not overly sweet, allowing the natural flavors of the waffles to shine. Samantha Dames noted, "Their coffee and espresso drinks are also very delicious," which speaks to the quality beverages that complement the delightful desserts.

While the atmosphere is predominantly calm and welcoming, it's worth noting that the venue allows smoking, which may not be ideal for every visitor. A thoughtful touch would be the addition of soup options to balance the menu, as suggested by some patrons. However, the overall cleanliness of the cafe and the friendly demeanor of the staff, just like the 'calm gentleman' mentioned by a guest, truly make your visit enjoyable.

For a delightful experience filled with delicious waffles and a serene ambiance, U and Cafe is definitely worth a visit. Whether you’re a local or just passing through Hachinohe, this quaint cafe is sure to leave you with sweet memories that beckon you to return.

穏やか~なおじさまが焼きたてワッフルを提供してくれます。 店内は真っ白で清潔で綺麗。 小学生3年生の息子と2回訪問しました。 息子はあんバターワッフル、私はシナモンシュガー、2回目はダブルチョコを頂きました。 サクふわで優しいワッフルです。 手で泡立てたという生クリームは砂糖控えめというかほとんど入ってないかもしれない、さっぱりしています。 そしてホットコーヒーが美味しいので、ブラックでもすいすい飲めちゃいます。 希望を言えば、コンソメスープとかミネストローネとか、スープメニューがあったら嬉しいなあと思いました!

Awesome little waffle place right in the middle of the Hachinohe strip. They always have a pretty impressive menu for such a small venue, plus their campaign menu. Their coffee and espresso drinks are also very delicious! Be forewarned, this venue allows smoking (why I have 4 stars) so I would not consider it “family-friendly”. Though, usually I’m the only person in there when I visit. Only once or twice have I gone and another person was there. All in all, a good little place to grab some Belgian style waffles, with Japanese flavors.

チョコバナナワッフル(税込680円)とドリップコーヒーのセットをいただきました。(セット価格+200円) 生地の柔らかさと生クリーム、チョコレートソースの相性がよくて美味しい。 そこにバナナと一緒に口に運ぶと、食べ応えも十分です。 コーヒーもちょうどいい苦味を感じられてよかったです。 ただ、個人的にはもう少し温かく、なんなら熱々で出てきてくれたほうが好みではありました。常温な感じでしたので、出来立てというのをあまり感じられませんでした。 店内は清潔感がありましたし、店員さんも物腰柔らかでよかったです。

A nice, quiet little spot to grab a bite and coffee. The chocolate chip waffle was good, they are quite soft. The curry was unique and decent, a bit sour. The seaweed soup was actually my favorite thing, though it was a bit salty. Overall a great spot that is cheap and quiet.

外はカリカリ、中はフワフワもちもちのワッフル。注文を受けてから泡立てるクリームは滑らかで重くなく、何枚でもいける。 ティラミスはクリームと甘くないコーヒーシロップの親和性が神がかってる…! 2枚食べてドリンクもつけて1500円でお釣り来るの安すぎません!?

It's a small cafe across Sakurano Department Store in Hachinohe downtown beside North 40-40 restaurant. The ambiance was nice and quiet. I ordered cappuccino and tiramisu waffles. They're a perfect combination. I loved them! There are a lot of waffle flavors to choose from! I'd love to try other flavors next time.
