温かみのある店内で、読書灯を貸してくださり、店内のコーヒーの本をじっくり読みました。土曜の夜の利用でしたが、程よく賑わっててゆっくりとした時間が過ごせました。 Wi-Fiもあり、おかわりのコーヒーも楽しめました⭐︎

はじめてTAOコーヒーに出会ったのは田原坂の移動販売。当時から香りたつこだわりのコーヒー。山鹿店もちょこちょこ通ってパイのファンに。その後できたこの植木店の雰囲気もがらっとイタリアンポップでこのエリアのシンボル的なカフェ。久しぶりに来て、コーヒーとチョコパイにほっとした時間でした。

Had a great experience. We ordered three pizzas, and shared amongst four people. Two margherita pizzas and one of their Popeye pizza (bacon, egg and spinach). Everyone really enjoyed the food. One of the kids got cold and they even offered us a blanket. Even finished with a slice of chocolate cake. It was a very nice night out. Thank you!

ランチでみやびサンドセットと生パスタセットをいただきました。サンドイッチは軽くトーストしたパンがサクフワで、生パスタはモチモチで、両方ともおいしくいただきました! 【追記】5年振りに近くを通りがかったのでランチ食べたら、ほぼ前回と同じメニュー選んだらしく好みの変わらなさに笑いました。美味しかったです!
