CRAFTSMAN is a pastry-focused café in Aoi Ward, Shizuoka, known for hand-baked cakes paired with an original coffee blend. The shop is run by pastry chef Ishibashi Kai and appears regularly on local food guides.

Seating is very limited (primarily takeout), hours are typically 11:00–18:00 with irregular closing days, and the business posts updates on Instagram. Expect high-quality sweets in a compact neighborhood setting.

You’ll pick up fresh, handcrafted cakes and specialty coffee to enjoy nearby or at one of the tiny in-shop seats.

## What you'll see and do
