IN MY PLACE おそとのお家

IN MY PLACE おそとのお家 is a thoughtfully designed café tucked into the Grand Mall in Toyosuna, Mihama Ward. It carves out a quiet corner for visitors looking to settle in with a coffee or soft drink like their Appletiser, amid the busy surroundings of the mall.

The café stands out with its spacious table layout — each spot feels generously separated, creating a comfortable setting without the usual bustle of chain cafés where seating can get cramped. High ceilings and a clean, modern interior scheme add to a sense of openness, which many find conducive to focusing on work or reading. This makes it a steady choice for remote workers or anyone wanting a calm place to linger.

Practical amenities include free Wi-Fi and charging outlets, which are clearly valued by those who come prepared to work or study. The presence of a kids’ area filled with books suggests it also serves local parents looking for a relaxed spot to unwind while keeping children entertained.

Visitors can expect a quiet but distinct atmosphere — one that leans toward casual productivity rather than lively café chatter. However, the café’s fixed playlist of English songs with lyrics on repeat and noticeable volume can feel intrusive during longer visits. Additionally, some tables are positioned near screens looping unusual videos, which might not appeal to everyone or suit all moods.

While prices are a bit on the higher side, the overall experience is that of a comfortable, low-pressure space ideal for those who need to balance relaxation and work in a mall setting. The mix of cozy seating — from small tables to cushioned spots accented with quirky animal-themed décor — adds an approachable charm that encourages repeat visits.

Best times to visit are likely during mid-morning or early afternoon on weekdays, when the café is quietest and best suited for focused work or a calm coffee break. It’s a practical shelter within the mall where locals, remote workers, and parents converge for a little extra breathing room and a decent cup of coffee.
