Really nice little cafe with a homey vibe. The menu is a pretty handwritten little photo book with description of the dishes. We went during tea time and ordered a meat doria and a peach shaved ice. The meat doria came with a small salad which was super fresh. The meat doria itself, despite the small-ish portion was packed with flavor and smothered with cheese. The peach shaved ice was amazing with the fresh pulp/juice of two whole peaches! The sauce was so much that there was still some remaining after finishing the shaved ice. The shaved ice was a little expensive but definitely worth it.

Nice little restaurant. The food was tasty and the place had nice vibes. When we visited it was only us and it seems like everything was done by a single person, so it took a little while, I am not sure if that's always the case.

This is a cozy cafe with good parfaits near Okayama Korakuen. The owner was very nice and gave me an umbrella because it was raining when I left and I didn't have one. I would recommend stopping by!

The best!! We went for dinner on our first night in okayama, was extremely welcoming despite us having a rowdy toddler, comforted us by letting us know that it's normal that kids are like this, and proceeded to take out a box of papers and folded an origami plane for my child. Food was great too! Sri Lankan curry with a Japanese fusion! As if that wasn't good enough, we got locked out of our bnb opposite, due to some mistake by the hotel, I saw that the lights to antenna were still on, I tried my luck to see if they would lend me their phone, but they went above and beyond to help us out. The grandma not only remembered me, she helped us call multiple people to get in contact with the bnb staff, and managed to get our door unlocked. Nothing but appreciation for this kind grandma and her partner.

Visited Cafe Antenna Last Saturday with one of friend of mine. This cafe located near Okayama Korakuen Garden with cosy and vintage interior. If you were looking for Muslim friendly foods near Korakuen Garden, Cafe Antenna probably a great choice. In this cafe, they provide English menu and there are three dishes with no alcohol and no meat which probably suitable for Vegetarian as well. When we visited Cafe Antenna, we tried Spanish mackerel&Vegetable curry and Crispy&fluffy, cheese rice casserole with salad. Our comments for those dishes were fantastic! The Spanish mackerel was cook perfectly with familiar curry taste (similar like Indonesian Jackfruit curry), the cheese rice casserole neutralised the curry flavour with crispy cheese taste along with baked mochi on top. Last but not least, the warm black tea served as the service from the cafe just made our feast complete. So, if you have time or maybe in Korakuen Garden right now looking for Muslim or Vegetarian-friendly foods, please walk a bit and give a taste of the foods at Cafe Antenna

Lovely place. The atmosphere made me want to keep calm and quiet. I had a nice simple parfait, too, which was discounted on the Okayama Forest Arts Festival pass.
