Family Smiles at scenes: Your Kid-Friendly Lunch Cafe in Kusatsu

In a corner of the niwa+ complex in front of Kusatsu Station, scenes, an Oceania-style cafe and wine restaurant, was born under the theme of Wellness x Happiness. Aiming to provide new food and spaces that fulfill both mind and body, we offer a pleasant experience throughout the day, from morning to lunch and dinner. We are always thinking about how to create a safe and enjoyable environment, especially for guests with young children, as a kid-friendly lunch cafe in Kusatsu.

We openly welcome families with children and aim to create a lunchtime filled with smiles for everyone. However, we understand that situations arise where it might be difficult to eat leisurely at the restaurant or a sudden change of plans means we have to cancel dining out. For such times, we will introduce how you can actively use our takeout and delivery services to enjoy our flavors at home or on the go. This time, we will provide concrete tips on how to make the most of our kid-friendly lunch cafe in Kusatsu and incorporate Wellness x Happiness into your busy daily life.

Solving the Challenges of a Kid-Friendly Lunch When Dining Out

Dining out with young children can be a delightful time, but it often comes with various worries. Concerns like Will my child get bored?, Will we disturb others?, or What if they suddenly feel unwell? are experienced by many parents. We completely understand the desire to find a place that can alleviate these anxieties right from the selection stage.

At scenes, we value the feedback of our guests with children and are dedicated to creating a space where everyone can feel at ease as a child-friendly cafe. Our spacious interior allows for smooth stroller navigation, and our open-air second-floor terrace is a place where you can relax without worrying about your children being a little lively. We also have Wi-Fi available, which is very convenient for when your child wants to watch a video or you need to look something up quickly.

However, even in the most comfortable environment, outings with small children are full of unexpected events. You might have to change plans due to sudden rain, or your child might get tired and want to go home right away. Even in such situations, there is a way to enjoy our delicious food at your family's own pace without giving up. That is the smart use of takeout and delivery.

Enjoy the Taste of scenes, Kusatsu's Kid-Friendly Lunch Cafe, at Home! A Guide to Takeout

Brighten Up Lunchtime on a Busy Day with Takeout

Our menu is crafted around the Wellness x Happiness theme, using carefully selected ingredients that delight both mind and body. Especially at lunchtime, we offer a variety of dishes that add a little luxury to your everyday table, such as Avocado on Toast, Eggs Benedict, hamburgers, and flat whites made with specialty coffee beans from New Zealand's Allpress Espresso. Taking these out to savor slowly at home can be a luxurious moment of respite in your busy days.

Takeout is perfect for various occasions. For example, as a bento box for a picnic in the park, as an easy lunch while working or doing chores at home, or as a colorful addition to a casual home party with friends. The great appeal of takeout is that you can enjoy freshly made, delicious food and specialty coffee wherever and whenever you like.

  • For a stylish picnic lunch in the park
  • When you want to eat slowly at home without worrying about anyone else
  • For entertaining unexpected guests or as a thoughtful gift
  • As a refreshing change of pace for lunch at the office
