Café & Books Bibliothèque Kumamoto is a lovely spot that blends beautiful ambiance with irresistible flavors. It’s the perfect place to relax, recharge, or enjoy a sweet escape in the middle of the city. I especially loved their strawberry cake — fresh, soft, and perfectly sweet. The pistachio desserts were just as impressive — rich, nutty, and delicately balanced. And their cinnamon cappuccino? Absolutely comforting with the perfect hint of spice. It’s a cozy, flavorful drink that’s now one of my favorites. The atmosphere is stylish yet welcoming, with a great selection of books and thoughtful touches that make you want to stay a while. Whether you're meeting friends or enjoying a solo break, Bibliothèque offers a little haven of warmth and quality in Kumamoto. Highly recommended for dessert lovers, coffee fans, and anyone looking for a café with charm and heart.

카페 이름처럼 도서관 컨셉의 디스플레이 된 책들과 악세사리류 및 비스트로를 겸하는 곳입니다. 디자인 관련 서적을 좋아하기 때문에 이곳이 마음에 들었고 조금 매콤한게 먹고 싶어서 일본식카레+1/2케이크+음료 셋트를 주문했어요. 카레도 괜찮았고 사진은 못찍었는데 케이크가 특히 크림이 너무 맛있었습니다. 가성비도 참 좋은데 맛도 맛있게 잘 먹었습니다.
