近くの海によくサーフィンに行くので、サーフィン帰りに寄るのが定番になってます。 古民家を改装したのかな?、オシャレな空間、だいたいいつもアイスヘーゼルナッツラテを注文するんだけど、めちゃウマい!、エスプレッソシェイクもウマい! そして男の私から見ても、羨ましいくらいイケメンな店員さんがいるよ(笑)

こちらの敷地内で、マルシェイベントがあり、娘親子と初めてお邪魔しました。 マルシェは、娘にまかせて、食べ専飲み専の私は、迷わず、 ZOO coffeeさんへ。 店内にも、作家さん達の作品が並び、販売されていました。 桃のスムージー、めちゃくちゃ美味しかったです。 苺の季節には、九十九里町の苺園、北島ファームさんの苺を使ったスムージーがいただけるそうです。 おばさん、思わず、確認してしまいました。 ZOO coffeeさん、北島ファームさん、若い方達が、頑張っている姿を見るのは、自分も元気をもらえます。 帰りがけ、どうしても飲みたくて、娘とシェアし、もう一杯。 これがまた美味なる美味なる写真の一杯でした。 コーヒーそのものが美味しいから、またより一層美味しさ増し増し^ ^ 店前も手作り感満載のテラス席。 次回は、普通のコーヒーをいただきたいです。
