Lovely little cafe on the seventh floor - take the elevator up! Feels extremely cozy and homey and warm, with comfortable seats and good coffee. The staff is really friendly - they didn't speak English and I barely speak Japanese but we got by and they were really nice and welcoming all the same. A nice retreat from the city below and no rush to leave quickly or finish up which is always a plus for me

雰囲気がオシャレで落ち着く店内。 私はサンドイッチとガトーショコラ、一緒に行った姉は5食限定だったかな?のパンのセットとチーズケーキを頼みました! どれもとても美味しくて満足です。 デザートのトリさんのクッキーが可愛かったです セットのスープも美味しかった。 また行きたいです!

A bright space on the rooftop of the Crystal Building near Asahikawa Station. There is outdoor seating on the balcony which is full of plants and the indoor seating is light and airy with floor to ceiling windows looking out onto the balcony. I recommend the pasta set which is made with fresh pasta and has a pleasant bounciness to it. The parfaits are also impressive to look at and are tasty. I especially like that they put crushed pastry instead of the usual cornflakes into the parfait. The bird motif of the cafe also lended itself to the atmosphere.

パスタを食べに伺いましたが、メニューのリニューアルでランチメニューが全てサンドになったとのことでした若鶏のグリルサンドを頼みましたが、ボリューム満点でとっても美味しかったです!価格も全体的に1000円以内とリーズナブルで、店内も落ち着いた雰囲気なので読書しながらくつろげました今度はテラスで昼飲みしようと思います。また伺います

陽の光が差し込む素敵な店内! 最上階ということもありロケーションバッチリでした 店員さんも物腰柔らかい方々で気持ちの良いご対応です○ 席数も無理のない配置でゆったりと過ごせる空間の印象。ついつい長居をしてしまいました 渡蟹のトマトクリームパスタを注文。 パスタ自体ももちもち食感で、濃厚なソースによく絡みとても美味でした 見た目以上にボリュームがあるので少食の人は注意かもしれないです(笑) 店舗が7階の為、エレベーターで上がっていくのですが、エレベーターが2箇所あり、片方は6階までしか行けないので、店舗看板が立っている方のエレベーターに乗るということをお忘れなく!

One of the best place in town! It's located on the top floor of Crystal Building with an open-air terrace which offers really awesome view and atmosphere. The cafe's decoration is perfect inside-out with their signature bird and local hand-made crafts. It's good to see the shops here always willing to promote all the local brands beside themselves. Sorairo actually consists of 3 stores: the coffee stand on the 1st floor selling home-baked bread, sandwiches, sweets and coffee, while the 7th floor offers lunch, drink & sweets sets, which in the evening would turn into a bar with a whole different menu of mostly alcohol. The price fits the dishes' quality tho, high. I ordered a lunch set of sandwich, salad, soup & drink, with coffee jelly plate as dessert (including coffee jelly with whipped cream, chocolate cake and ice-cream topped with Sorairo's bird-shaped cookie). And that was absolute perfection.
