Outstanding jazz kissa despite its ordinary-looking
The cafe’s lovely exterior and interior, and conscientiously priced menu, make it a great place to stop by for a cup of coffee and a gateau. I usually have coffee and gateau chocolat. Sometimes pasta if I’m a little hungry. In winter, a cup of spiced cocoa warms me up and helps me relax. In this way, it can be said that I use the shop as a café.
However, there is a large speaker system in the back of the store and a row of vinyl records lined up at the counter. Standing in front of the cash register when paying, one can see two record players lined up in a row. If you look at the bookshelves, you will see a carefully selected collection of jazz books. These are just a few examples of the seriousness of the store. The volume is loud, so this is no ordinary café, and a sign at the entrance asks customers to refrain from conversation. This is a jazz cafe where “conversation is not allowed,” which has become a rarity nowadays.
The selection of music at rompercicci is incredibly unique, and there is no other place like it. It is not that they are not playing the most popular records. There is almost nothing that says, “This is being reevaluated right now! or new releases that are all the rage on social networking sites. There are no so-called “quick-eared” characters at all. If anything, it is more like an “orthodox jazz cafe. Despite this, the Rompercicci is outstandingly unique.
