I had a coffee and a muffin at Moron Café, a sleek, modern spot tucked into the Nagamachi Samurai District. This historic neighbourhood, with its narrow lanes and preserved samurai residences, lies just a short stroll from Kanazawa Castle, blending the city’s storied past with a contemporary coffee culture.

Ordered a Prana chai. It was tasty but small cup size. It's a bit stingy. Nice looking g fresh cakes. I didn't eat. A few foreigners partaking g in refreshing dri ks hot and cold. Weird they had tables marked as reserved, but the place was empty, really not busy. I had to sit at a counter when I would have preferred a small table, but they all had reserved on them!!! Outside entrance courtyard and inside. Needs a bit more decor to make atmosphere.

The coffee was really well prepared. A perfect texture to the milk, good beans etc. The service was lovely and the setting very peaceful. The muffins were a little on the dry side and lacked flavour. I would stick with the avocado toast Lovely spot for a brunch.

The cute little cafe in Kanazawa, right at the famous Nagamachi Samurai District. We had luck with sunny weather, so we sat outside. The coffee tasted awesome, and we also had an avocado on toast, sandwich plate, banana bread, and strawberry muffin. Everything tasted excellent and, personal was super sweet. Very much recommended!

Moron Cafe is located near Kanazawa’s tourist district. This stylish spot offers excellent coffee and light bites, with a curated merch shop on the second floor featuring designer shirts and unique pieces.

Nice and bright cafe serving western brunch options like avocado toast. A minimum of one drink needs to be ordered so keep that in mind if you’re just coming in for a bite to eat. The avo sandwich was nice, it has walnuts and feta or goats cheese scattered on top. Lots of space to sit.

Warm coffee and even warmer people. This place felt very local despite being located in a touristy area. Great and simple lunch options which were served fast and with a smile. The staff was particularly kind and gave us tips on what to visit by bike as it was a sunny day. We loved the antique furniture in the store which made it more unique and the clothing shop upstairs. Would come back again!
