🇫🇷Crowding situation at the restaurant: Arrived around 10:40, waiting for the 2 groups ahead

Notes⚠️

・There was no particular line, everyone was waiting by themselves. After that, about three more groups were added, but since the staff don't guide you after opening, you don't get ready to go, so you're not served until you arrive, but rather in the order you enter 😧
It's best to enter the store as early as possible after opening. The busiest time is probably right after opening. There seems to be a slight wait time until around noon, but when I passed by the store after 3pm, there was no line and it was calm 📝

🇫🇷The menu I actually ordered: Cafe Allonge Weekend Citron (only available on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays). 📝The menu is of course in French✍️There are no pictures on the menu, but if you ask a staff member, they will explain it to you carefully. It's a stylish, spine-chilling space, but the staff are friendly and kind, and they explain things clearly, so my tension was eased. ．
Weekend Citron, a Friday, Saturday and Sunday only menu item✍️It's heavy, but the freshness of the lemon and the moderate sweetness of the dough are just right, and it's lighter than it looks and very easy to eat🍋🌿

🇫🇷I've seen a lot of comments saying that it's expensive, but the main premise is that it's a BULY branded cafe, and you can spend time in a wonderful, one-of-a-kind space, so I personally felt that it was worth the price☺️I was so satisfied to be able to spend such an elegant time immersed in the world of the BULY brand💯I really felt like I was traveling in Paris for that one time🗼🇫🇷.Of course, I recommend the cafe, but I also highly recommend the boutique next door✨BULY has many items that you can use daily, such as hand cream and toothpaste, and the packaging is cute🥹Some products, such as hairbrushes, can be engraved, and there are balms that you can design yourself, so they are all perfect as gifts🎁✨The scent and design are unisex, so I think it will appeal to everyone🫶

BULY cafes are rare in the world! ☕️
This is a popular spot that you should stop by at least once when you come to Kobe🇫🇷
