Hanamizuki Cafe

I recently dined here and had an amazing experience! After trialing as a desserts shop for some time, they've returned to their roots as an onigiri shop, and I couldn't be happier. I got their lunch combo which included miso soup, sides, and 2 onigiris of your choice. I opted for the Hawaiian and Unagi, and both were delicious. The food was prepared and ready almost immediately. I also tried their iced matcha latte with oat milk, and it was SO good. It was smooth, tasty, and not too sweet. The cafe itself is adorable, clean, and simple with plenty of seating. There's also a restroom in the back. Overall, this is a nice spot to unwind and grab a quick lunch or snack--highly recommend!

I was looking for tea with a sweet so popped in. The server told me they had no sweet cakes or desserts which was a disappointment. The matcha I ordered was good albeit not very hot. I ordered a umeboshi onigiri to go that was wrapped in a piece of paper (did not cover the entire onigiri). When I ate it later, I found it good but the flavor did not linger. The decor was simple - others comment it is "cute", but that doesn't describe it. inside there were 2 other tables both dining on the onigiri combos and clearly had been chatting a while. Not a bad choice if you are in the area for tea.

This is the cutest cafe!They have huge onigiri and the miso soup is so authentic. The combo set is a great deal. My favorite was the mentaiko onigiri.The staff are friendly, and you get the food right away. It feels cozy and warm inside the cafe.

Tried four onigiris here. They were ready very quickly and pretty tasty. Cute little cafe with a few tables

Stopped by around 11:45am on a Monday, it was busy but not too packed, we were able to get a table for 4 easily. It is self service and self busking, order at the back at the register. The vibes are super cute!The salmon onigiri ($5.50) was pretty disappointing, it was not super flavorful and was a bit dry honestly. The shiso leaf overpowered the salmon as it was a bit bland. I would not recommend. The chicken karage ($6) was much better flavor wise, and there was a decent amount of chicken, but the chicken itself was no longer crispy at all, and I wish there was more mayo. If I were to come back, I would probably get this one again. Overall, pretty cute spot with not too bad prices, but definitely aren't the best onigiri in town.

Although I'm not the biggest fan of the interior design, it's nice because there are a lot of seats available. I got one onigiri and a miso soup that came out right away.I loved the savory taste of the rice with the mushrooms, and the miso soup hits the spot on a cold winter's day.

I wanted to like this place so much but I was so disappointed. Everything was subpar. We got the combo which came with 2 onigiri and miso soup and the sides of the day. Paid around $25 for what you see in the photo. The salmon onigiri only had a couple of flakes of salmon inside. Very sad. The miso soup tasted like it came out of a packet but that's fine. The veggie sides were not to my personal liking but maybe other people like them. The inari was wrapped in plastic and upon removing the plastic it was so wet and crumbling in my hands. The karaage onigiri I enjoyed but it was barely filled as well. I'm trying to understand what went wrong here, I had such high hopes for this cute spot and everything was a disappointment. :(

I got the sukiyaki and unagi onigiris. It also came with miso soup and a side of edamame and egg. They gave us little trays to bring our food to our table, which made everything look very cute and aesthetic. The onigiris are made fresh after ordering and the meal set was a good combination.

This place was aesthetic as I remembered it! $16 for two onigiri, soup and sides is both filling and affordable, completely with friendly service! I think it's well worth it. It was a quaint space and going when it first opens at 11am allows for a serene meal time. When it's 11:30am, the crowd starts coming in. Food prep goes quickly. The miso soup and the kinoko mushroom onigiri is hearty and savory. This hole in the wall spot prides itself on authenticity, simplicity, and warmth.

I came on the weekend for a late lunch, and it was very busy! There was a line to order, but it moved quickly. There is a decent amount of tables, but they are close together. You order at the counter, get a buzzer, and seat yourself. You can also order to go, which I did and it was very fast. I got 3 rice balls, the sukiyaki, kinoko, and hawaiian. The kinoko, 5 kinds of mushroom, was surprisingly my favorite. It was the most flavorful and had a decent ratio of mushroom to rice. The sukiyaki was sort of bland and did not have a lot of beef. The hawaiian one was also only okay, and I wasn't a huge fam of the sun dried tomatoes in the rice. They are a bit expensive at $5-6 for each rice ball. I would come back if I'm in the area and craving rice balls, but won't be a regular customer.
