KONON Cafe deserves 5 stars based on the owner's hospitality and venue atmosphere alone but he served delicious coffee & tea as well. The cafe interior offers a relaxing & comfortable atmosphere with both indoor & outdoor seating. Surrounding area is filled with large trees, you can hear the sound of birds (and can see them flying down to find food as well). Unfortunately we went on a rainy day, otherwise we would have sat outside to bird watch & enjoy coffee. We were especially amused by the sights of wild mushrooms growing in the area, although the owner shared that most of them aren't edible.

The place was incredible!!! The service was great and very friendly. The place has such a wonderful atmosphere, that you can just sit there for hours. And the food and drinks were hand made and well selected to fit the atmosphere. Highly recommend to come here if you are in the aera.

Very serene. A legit cafe out of nowhere. It’s located in the farm area and in the middle of the woods. I can imagine during autumn and winter it’ll be very beautiful there. It’s a cafe that’s located near a lodging. Ideally only can fit 2-3 people. The owner was really nice. He saw us coming and created a makeshift space near the basin so that we can sit down while the other guests were occupying the main table near the window. Coffee was great and I got their berry tea. Very aromatic and enjoyable. You can walk around the forest after and look for some squirrels or wild poisonous mushrooms Highly recommend. Let’s support this business!

Beautiful little cafe situated in the middle of the forest. Peaceful and serene. Lovely friendly owner, making coffees, teas and smoothies. A few seats available indoors, or the option to sit with nature. Wonderful place.

Beautiful cafe in the woods. I was in awe when I entered the cafe because it was like a cozy little home. I would love to work here too I would love to just sit there entire day watching birds. Seeing the view through the cafe’s windows is just so relaxing.

It is a rare place where you can experience the aromatic coffee brewed by a dedicated barista, the chirping of birds living in the forest, and the soothing harmony created by the deep negative ions of the woods.
