《 my order 》

〜 Neapolitan 〜

¥750

〜 Pilaf 〜

¥750

~ Tea ~

¥550

Impressions

There are three great cafes in Ueno ☕️

One of them is this pure cafe hill.

You can tell the history from the appearance, but the power inside the store is amazing anyway.

When you go down the stairs leading to the basement and open the door

A huge chandelier welcomes 🕯️

In the dim space

Chandeliers and stained glass sparkling in orange,

The space as if you were lost in an old castle

I can't help but catch my breath...

It was built in the same year as the first Tokyo Olympics.

This atmosphere born with time

I can't get it out so easily,

It is often used in dramas and movies 🎞️

Napolitan is thick noodles,

A royal road Napolitan like "The Coffee Shop Napolitan"

Pilaf was also delicious with bacon and shrimp in rice with butter scent 🌿

Because it is a pretty deep atmosphere,

I can not recommend it to beginners, but I would like you to go to those who like the atmosphere of Showa era 🍂

thrilling point

・ Chandelier

・ Neapolitan

・ Pilaf

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 💐

No waiting time

《 Visiting time 》 Wednesday 14: 40

《 Number of visits 》 1st

《 Inside the store when visiting, the appearance of customers 》

・ Number of people 1 < 2 people or more

・ Customer base Young > High

Regular < New

· Atmosphere lively < quiet

・ Lighting: Dark > Bright

・ More seats = less seats

・ It was crowded < It was vacant

Ease of entry ★ ★ ★ ☆ ☆

・ Cleanliness ★ ★ ★ ☆ ☆

⚠️ pretty scared of the toilet.

The exception was the space!

... Read more初めて「純喫茶 丘」に行く人向けに、私が事前に知っておくと安心だったポイントを補足します。上野の純喫茶って“入りやすいレトロ”から“ディープな昭和”まで幅が広いですが、丘は後者。地下へ降りる階段の時点で空気が変わって、扉を開けたらシャンデリアがどーん。レトロなんて言葉では語れない重厚さで、古城っぽい雰囲気が好きな人には刺さると思います。 メニューは食事系がしっかりしていて、ナポリタンやピラフは「喫茶店ごはん」の安心感があります。私は次回、検索でもよく見かける“上野 プリン”や“上野 クリームソーダ”も気になっています。写真映えだけじゃなく、暗めの照明の中でグラスや銀皿がきれいに見えるタイプのお店なので、注文はドリンク+デザートも相性が良さそうでした。 ロケ地としても名前が出てくることがありますが、店内はたしかに“撮りたくなる空間”。ただ、静かめの時間帯は特に、周りのお客さんの迷惑にならないように手早く撮るのが安心です。席は1人より2人以上のお客さんが多い印象だったので、初訪問で緊張する人は友達と行くのもおすすめ。 実用面だと、現金のみ&喫煙可は要チェック。タバコの匂いが苦手な人は、滞在時間を短めにしたり、混雑が少ない時間帯を狙うと気持ち的にラクでした。入口の“怪しい雰囲気の建物の地下”というワードにビビりがちですが、上野駅徒歩4分で迷いにくいのも助かります。 最後に、上野周辺で満喫したい人は、純喫茶の前後に上野公園や浅草方面の純喫茶巡りを組み合わせると一日が作りやすいです。丘は「昭和の濃い空気を体験しに行く」タイプのお店なので、目的を決めて行くと満足度が上がりました。
