CAFE LA RUCHE
Enjoy freshly baked bread while taking in the beautiful view of Lake Kinrin!
CAFE LA RUCHE is a charming bakery café located on the shores of Lake Kinrin, one of Yufuin's most popular tourist spots. The café offers a stunning view of the lake, and the aroma of freshly baked bread fills the open and airy interior.
The signature item is the croissant made with natural yeast from raisins. It features a crispy exterior and a soft, chewy interior, with the rich aroma of fermented butter that is irresistible. Other freshly baked options include toast, sandwiches, danishes, and tartines. Guests can enjoy these alongside morning and lunch menus, which incorporate locally sourced vegetables from Oita Prefecture. Pair your meal with a drink of your choice, such as house-roasted coffee, tea, or fresh orange juice. For café time, the baked cheesecake with soft-serve ice cream is highly recommended.
The second floor houses a gallery shop, showcasing limited-time events and collaborative items with companies, offering a unique experience beyond the café itself.
