cafe Volonta (カフェ ボロンタ)

Welcome to cafe Volonta (カフェ ボロンタ), a delightful new addition nestled in the scenic surroundings of Otsu, Shiga, Japan. This charming cafeteria, which opened its doors in April, is not just a café; it's an experience. Set against the backdrop of a large park, cafe Volonta offers a refreshing ambiance that beckons families, friends, and anyone looking to unwind in nature.

The moment you step onto the terrace, you'll be enveloped in the lush greenery that frames the café, inviting you to indulge in a moment of leisure. The open-air seating provides a cozy and comfortable atmosphere where you can sip on a refreshing lemonade (モクテル) for just JP¥550 or a rich and bold espresso (エスプレッソ) at JP¥350. If you're looking for something extra special, don’t miss their delicious handheld BBQ meals designed for variety and joy, perfect for gathering with loved ones. The BBQ set for 2-3 people, priced at JP¥5,000, is a must-try!

As shared by local patrons, cafe Volonta is ideal for families, especially for those with young children who can run around in the adjoining park while parents relax. One review noted, "the atmosphere is vibrant, with a perfect balance of comfort and openness," highlighting how great it is for casual meet-ups or even for a leisurely day of reading.

Feedback indicates that the service is efficient, especially when you arrive at non-peak hours. Guests have enjoyed the quick turnaround for drinks, allowing more time to savor the tranquil environment. Although the café primarily accepts credit cards, do keep in mind that popular electronic payment methods like PayPay or ICOCA are not yet available.

Other patrons praised the mouthwatering meals, from their scrumptious hamburgers to tempting desserts, including a beautifully presented dessert plate ideal for celebrating special occasions. "The burgers are simply extraordinary," declared one customer, capturing the heart of what makes dining here memorable.

While some visitors noted the minimalist setup, with limited indoor seating and a focus on terrace life, the friendly vibe and idyllic surroundings more than compensate for it. Don’t forget your insect repellent if you plan to enjoy those summer evenings on the terrace!
